Some lenses have extra characteristics that require further
explanation. For example, the autofocus range on the HC 4/120
Macro lens can be limited by a specific setting on the camera
allowing for near range, far range or full range. This only
appears on the grip display together with that particular lens.
Further information can be found in the "H-system Lenses & H-
system Lens Accessories" booklet that accompanies each lens.
The booklet can also be downloaded from the Hasselblad web-
site.
Also, see note here regarding HCD lenses!

Lens corrections can be applied when captures are imported
into Phocus. Guided by the information in the metadata
included with each individual capture, the DAC (digital lens
correction) tool uses lens-model specific calculations to adjust
for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. Not only
model specifications but also capture parameters are taken
into consideration for analysis.
This extremely capable refinement of captures should not be
overlooked when processing files! See
Phocus
user manual for
details.

The autofocus function is not possible with certain combina-
tions of lenses and accessories. However, a warning is displayed
which disappears after confirmation.

The True Focus function can also be combined with other auto-
focus modes for specific situations.

To expand your range of lenses, consider using a CF adapter
to allow you to use most of the lenses from the Hasselblad V-
system.

For users who prefer manual focus control but would like the
benefits of autofocus, one method is to set the AE-L button (or
any user button) to AF (Single) drive.
The main subject can then be centered and the AE-L pressed,
to ensure correct focus. The camera reverts immediately to
manual focus control when the button is released.
Therefore, you can recompose the picture without having
to maintain pressure on the release button in order to retain
the newly automatically made focus setting (AF-T can also be
used).
N o t e
HCD lenses were formulated for use with the smaller size
sensors in the H-series, resulting in a reduced coverage for
the larger sensors used in 60 Mpix models. So, if you use HCD
lenses, be aware of the restrictions (vignetting and diminished
quality at the edges).
As notification of this situation, an auto crop function is
employed and an HCD crop icon appears on the right hand
side of the viewfinder display when an HCD lens is fitted.
When in Phocus, however, the auto crop function can be turned
off in Preferences if you wish.
