With the introduction of the H3DII-39, Hasselblad further refines the concept of high-end full-frame DSLR cameras. the H3DII-39, complements the fourth generation H3DII high-end dSlR, with multi- shot functionality: the ultimate choice for still life studio photography. Moiré free images that exhibit a level of sharpness, resolution and color fidelity that you have to experience to believe are now attain- able. this capability incorporated with the unparalleled abilities of the H3DII produce an unbeatable combination in the world of digital medium format photography today. the H3DII-39 includes H3DII’s UltraFocus architecture giving access to the newest HCD 28mm lens, designed and optimized solely for digital image capture. Software features including digital auto Correction lifts image quality to a level yet unseen in digital photography, including automatic correction for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting.

• Non-compromising details and colors
  The multi-shot technology realizes the capture of still life subjects with all details represented in true detail and color resolution. By capturing a sequence of 4 shots, each offset by a one pixel increment, every point on your set is rendered with its true red, green and blue color compo- nents. in this way, true detail and true color are acquired without interpo- lation of any kind. For stills photography it simply does not get better. When used outdoors or on location, the H3DII-39 can perform normal single-shot mode photography too.

• Ultra-Focus and digital auto Correction for image perfection
  Using the Ultra-Focus engine of H3DII-39 the full HC lens program is further enhanced, bringing a new level of sharpness and resolution. all details represented in true detail and color resolution. Hasselblad’s digital auto Correction for color aberration, distortion and vignetting is then added. The design of the 28mm HCd lens has been optimized for the actual 36x48mm area of the sensor to make it more compact and to work in conjunction with daC. The highly renowned HC/HCd lens line uses central lens shut- ters, which adds flexibility by allowing flash to be employed at shutter speeds up to 1/800s. the central shutter also improves image quality by reducing camera vibration. and thanks to the large format of the H System cameras, there is a considerably shallower depth of field range, making it much easier to utilize selective focus to creative effect.

• View-camera work
  The H3DII-39 has been designed to allow the digital capture unit to be detached and used on a view camera by way of an H system adapter. in this configuration the digital capture device can work with electronic shutters from ex. Rollei and Schneider, either stand-alone using the flash sync signal from the shutter or tethered to a computer with full control of the electronic shutter from the computer.

• Medium format digital capture
  In digital photography, the advantages of larger format cameras have become even more obvious. the 6×4.5 cm window allows the Hasselblad H3DII-39 to use the largest image sensors currently available in digital photography – up to more than twice the size of a 35mm camera sensor. Consequently the sensor holds more and larger pixels, which deliver the highest possible image quality in terms of moiré-free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces.

• A choice of bright viewfinders
  One of the important traditional advantages of the medium format is the extra-large and bright viewfinder image, enabling extremely precise compositions and easy operation in dim lighting. an interchangeable waist-level viewfinder, the HVM, is available for the entire range of H system cameras.

• Unique Hasselblad Colors
  The new Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS) enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with skin tones, specific product colors and other difficult tones reproduced easily and effectively.

• Instant approval architecture
  Hasselblad has created instant approval architecture (iaa), an enhanced set of feedback tools, designed to liberate the photo grapher to focus on the shoot rather than the selection process. iaa triggers audible and visual signals for each image captured, notifying the photographer immediately of its classification status. the information is recorded both in the file and in the file name, providing a quick and easy way to classify and select images, in the field or back home.

• GPS recording accessory
  Hasselblad’s global image locator (gil) is an accessory for any H-based Hasselblad digital capture product. Using the gil device all images captured outdoors are tagged with GPS coordinates, time and altitude. this data is key to a number of future applications involving image archiving and retrieval. One example is the direct mapping of images within the coming Phocus software to Google Earth.

• Three modes of operation and storage
  The Hasselblad H3DII-39 offers a choice of storage devices: port- able CF cards, the flexible imageBank-ii or a computer hard drive. With these three operating and storage options, you are able to select a mode to suit the nature of the work in hand, whether in the studio or on location.

• FlexColor workflow for the professional photographer
  FlexColor offers an image processing workflow that gives the highest degree of control in tethered operation, with tools like overlay masking to help bring productivity to advanced set composition. FlexColor allows the photographer to flexibly manipulate image attributes without distur bing the basic raw file. FlexColor runs natively on both Macintosh and Windows computers.

• Free upgrade to the world’s most advanced image processing software!
  Over the years, the image processing engine in Hasselblad’s FlexColor software has evolved into a powerful raw converter. The upcoming release of Phocus by Hasselblad adds an entirely new processing engine – featuring a range of new techniques and features and the power to support the latest Hasselblad camera developments and to enable groundbreaking new levels of image quality.
