39 million pixels

The H2D-39 uses a 39 megapixel sensor that is more than twice the physical size of today’s 35mm sensors. This sensor holds more and larger pixels, which guaran- tees superior image quality and provides moiré free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces. Images shot with the H2D-39 have unsurpassed clarity and sharpness, thanks to the ultra-high pixel resolu- tion produced by the 39 Mpix sensor. This sensor produces the largest digital files currently available for professional photography, making them ideal for the most demanding, high resolution printing applications and give the photogra- pher increased flexibility and creative control when cropping or enlarging for printing. The H2D-39 represent the finest image capture quality possible; all images are the result of the superior performance of the H System camera and lenses and have been fine tuned with Hasselblad’s unique Digital APO Correction technique. Hasselblad’s Natural Color Solution also gives optimal color reproduction across all job types.

Today’s photographers demand higher resolution, less noise, and improved composition, all of which the H2D-39 provides. The new 39Mpix H2D-39 is a true Hasselblad, with every feature and aspect of its performance represent- ing the superior quality and design that go into each Has- selblad product.

H2D-39 with Digital APO Correction

The H2D-39 captures an extended set of metadata and then performs an automated correction for color aberration effects with every shot. This means that your digital captures are auto- matically optimized to provide the finest detail that a given lens can resolve. We have named this feature “Digital APO Correc- tion” (DAC), signifying the digital, APO-chromatic correction of the images that takes place. Implementation of this feature includes detailed mapping of each H system lens, ensuring that each image represents the best that your equipment can pro- duce. We are confident that the image quality you achieve as a result of the DAC functionality will make you - and your custom- ers - look twice.

Unique Hasselblad Natural Color Solution

In the past, color management solutions have imposed limita- tions on professional digital photographers, because of the need to choose a specific color profile to suit a specific job in order to capture various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers, etc. Has- selblad has helped solve this dilemma, with the development of a new, powerful color profile to be used with its FlexColor imag- ing software. Working with the new Hasselblad Natural Color Solution enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of- the-box colors, with skin tones, special product gradations, and other difficult colors reproduced easily and effectively.

We have developed a new Hasselblad raw file format called: 3F RAW (3FR) to help implement our new unique color system. The
