Hasselblad 3034216 user manual Congratulations on your new Hasselblad CFV

Congratulations on your new Hasselblad CFV!

The 16 Mpix based digital back is custom built to fit the design and functionality of Hasselblad cameras from the V-series with its range of high performance, leaf-shutter based lenses. However, it can also fit onto view cameras using the V-system interface plate for mechanical attachment and flash sync connection to trigger the digital capture for optimum compat- ibility and economy. It provides both cable free and computer tethered options to suit all types of work. The back offers an ultra high level of integration, image quality and flexibility to the specialist professional photographer or highend amateur user.

Instant Approval Architecture: Limitless digital image capture loses some of its potential if the photographer cannot quickly review and select the best image. Building on the suc- cess of its Audio Exposure Feedback technology, Hasselblad has created Instant Approval Architecture (IAA), an enhanced set of feedback tools, designed to liberate the photographer to focus on the shoot rather than the selection process. IAA triggers audible and visible signals for each image captured, telling the photographer immediately whether the image has a red, yellow or green light 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 in the lab. A larger, enhanced OLED display provides a realistic, high quality and perfect contrast image view, even in bright sunlight, to allow instant on-site image approval. IAA is a Hasselblad trademark and is patent pending.

Largeformatdigitalcapture: Today’sphotographersdemandhigherresolution,lessnoise,and improved flexibility, all of which the CFV addresses. It uses an optical format allowing for digital capture with a sensor 50% larger than the physical size of today’s largest 35mm DSLR cameras. The sensor can therefore hold more and larger pixels, which secure a high-end image quality in terms of moiré free colour rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces.

“Instant” user interface: The CFV is operated with a straightforward user interface with a

series of “instant” one-button-click operations including: instant capture, instant browse, in- stant approval, instant zoom, and instant image info.

Three modes of operation and storage: Optimum portability and image storage are critical for the professional photographer. CFV offers a free choice of portable CF card storage, flexible Imagebank drive, or tethered operation with extended, special capture controls. With these three operating and storage options, the photographer is able to select a mode to suit the nature of the work at hand, whether in the studio or on location.
