Hasselblad H1D

Grip controls

There are five buttons that surround the grip LCD combined with two control wheels to access various parts of the menu and to alter settings. Additionally there is an LCD illumination but- ton as well as the shutter release button.

The basic principle behind making changes is that the appropriate button is first pressed to access the menu and then settings altered by way of the control wheels. The appropriate con- trol wheel is designated by arrowheads alongside the setting description.

Some buttons have a toggle function, the ON.OFF button has a quick ‘click’ action as well as a longer (half-second) ‘press’ action and the shutter release has two positions: ‘half-press’ and ‘full-press’.

Many buttons have a dual or triple function according to the state of the menu.

At very low temperatures the LCDs require approximately a few seconds to display new settings.

Several buttons are multifunctional, according to the state of the menu. For example, if you press the DRIVE button when the standard screen is visible, it will access the drive mode choice screen. The new screen then shows a new description for the buttons and so the DRIVE button now functions as the SAVE button temporarily until a new screen is visible.

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.

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.
