metering system. Image magnification 3.1x. Integrated fill-in flash with guide number 12. Hot-shoe for automatic

 

flash (Metz SCA3002 system / adapter SCA3902). Dot matrix display with presentation of all relevant information.

 

Built-in diopter adjustment from -5 to + 3.5D. Interchangeable.

 

 

Focusing

Automatic and manual focusing with electronic focus aid in manual mode. Instant manual focus override.Automatic

 

focusing using passive central cross type phase detection sensor. AF metering range EV 1 to 19 (ISO 100).

 

 

Shutter

Electronically controlled lens shutter with speeds up to to 1/800. Flash sync at all speeds.

 

 

Flash control

TTL centre-weighted system. Can be used with the built-in flash or a wide variety of flashes compatible with the

 

SCA3002 (Metz) system using adapter SCA3902. ISO range16 to 6400. Flash output can be adjusted (-3 to +3EV) for

 

fill-in purposes independent of ambient light. Synch at all shutter speeds.

 

 

Flash measurement

The H4D has a built-in measurement system that measures flash light from non-TTL flashes, such as studio flashes.

 

 

Exposure metering

Multi-mode exposure metering using 90° reflex viewfinder. Metering options are: Spot (diameter 7.5 mm),

 

Centre Weighted, and CentreSpot. Metering range at f/2.8 and ISO100: Spot: EV2 to 21, Centre-weighted: EV1 to 21,

 

CentreSpot: EV1 to 21.

 

 

Auto bracketing

Bracketing using predetermined number of captures (2, 3, 5, 7 or 9) in 1/3, 1/2, or 1 EV step difference intervals.

 

 

Interval timer

Number of captures from 2 to ‘no limit’ and interval from 1 second to 1 hour.

 

 

ISO range

ISO range: 50 – 800 / 100 – 1600, depending on model.
