Menu charts – general

Throughout this manual you will find charts to explain the steps and procedures required to alter the various settings. These charts are laid out to graphically illustrate in a simple manner how to navi- gate through the menus. While they include all the information that would be presented on the LCD relevant to that section, they cannot illustrate all the possible combinations of the various symbols seen on a screen at one time as that would be impractical and too confus- ing. If you are at all familiar with cell phone menus, for example, then the design of the layout and working practice will not be unfamiliar.

You should find that, in practice, working your way through a menu on the camera is a good deal simpler and more obvious than the written explanation implies!

In the descriptions, various terms are used regarding menu naviga- tion. Menus have ‘trees’, for example, which describes their imaginary graphical layout where you could trace a navigational path along its ‘branches’. Each new section, or stopping off point on the branches, seen on the LCD is called a ‘screen’. Therefore a screen is the graphical display on the LCD of where you are on the menu and represents the current state of settings.

The H1D features the advantage of multiple customization of set- tings. This means that your personal choice of settings, and thereby appearance of various combinations of symbols on the LCD at any time, will not necessarily be the same as many of the screens illus- trated in this manual.

To simplify the descriptions, reference is often made to a ‘standard’ screen. Apart from default settings, there is no actual standard set- ting in the normal sense and therefore you create your own ‘stand- ard’, which of course can be changed at any time.

The ‘standard’ screen is therefore the one you have currently cre- ated and is the one visible on the LCD when photographing (except where a particular mode is in actual operation, such as self-timer, for example).

H1D specifications

The Hasselblad H1D is a medium format camera that represents the pinnacle of photographic technology, merging exceptional design with groundbreaking features tailored for both professional and aspiring photographers. Released as part of Hasselblad's renowned H system, the H1D is characterized by its modular design, allowing for a level of flexibility that caters to various photographic needs.

At the heart of the H1D is its large 39-megapixel CCD sensor, which offers exceptional detail and dynamic range. This sensor ensures that images captured are rich in color and clarity, making it ideal for high-end commercial, fashion, and landscape photography. The camera's ISO range, which extends from 50 to 800, ensures versatility in a variety of lighting conditions.

One of the standout features of the H1D is its ergonomic design. The camera body is constructed with a robust yet lightweight magnesium alloy, making it suitable for long shooting sessions without compromising comfort. The intuitive button layout and customizable settings enhance the shooting experience, allowing users to focus on capturing the perfect image rather than wrestle with complicated settings.

The H1D incorporates a sophisticated autofocus system with multiple focus points, providing quick and accurate focusing in various shooting scenarios. This feature is crucial for action shots and can significantly improve workflow efficiency in fast-paced environments. Additionally, the camera supports both single and continuous shooting modes, giving photographers the ability to choose the mode that best suits their creative vision.

Another significant aspect of the H1D is its digital back compatibility, which allows users to interchange backs easily for different needs, such as tethered shooting or different sensor sizes. This adaptability is a boon for professional photographers who often work in dynamic settings. The camera also supports a variety of lenses, further broadening its usability.

In terms of connectivity, the H1D is equipped with USB port options for easy file transfers, along with options for wireless tethering, allowing for seamless integration into modern workflows. The camera comes with Hasselblad’s own special software, providing powerful editing capabilities and an intuitive interface for managing images post-capture.

With its combination of cutting-edge technology, exceptional image quality, and professional-grade features, the Hasselblad H1D stands out as a top choice for photographers seeking excellence in medium format photography. Its legacy continues to represent the high standards that have made Hasselblad synonymous with quality craftsmanship and innovation in the world of photography.
