name, symbols, etc., immediate cable-free compatibility with digital backs, presentation of digital information such as histograms and grey balance on the LCD, extremely accurate elec- tronic leaf shutter, flash sync at all shutter speeds to 1/800s, eyeline viewfinder with 100% view, dot matrix viewfinder LCD, lithium or rechargeable battery options, shutter speeds from 18 hours to 1/800s, user customization of functions. And that’s not all! Bracketing, interval timer, rapid access user button, flash measure, independent LCD illumination on magazines, integral diopter adjustment in viewfinder, zone system capability, time-lapse photography, customized profiles and so on.

In addition H cameras use a format allowing for digital capture with sensors more than twice the physical size of today’s 35mm sensors. The sensor is therefore capable of using 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 highlight areas or noise in the shadows.

And, apart from the practical aspects, the H2 also exudes a feeling of superb design and ergo- nomics that makes the camera a pleasure to own as well as use. For handling and convenience of use it is second to none.

So Hasselblad, the most distinguished pioneer in medium-format photography, yet again takes the vanguard position. We are confident that you are going to incorporate this camera inseparably into your photographic life. We are also confident that you are going to produce images you are proud of. Some of these will remain as a documentation of the history of our world, perhaps even beyond. That’s how it is with Hasselblad.

The primary goal of all camera development is of course the seamless and unobtrusive produc- tion of superb images, regardless of situation. The H2 has abilities and features that you may not think you need, yet. Each individual has their own way of working. But the H2 has tremen- dous scope for fine-tuning your technique possibly beyond your present ambitions .

The Quick Start Guide should have you up and running in minutes. The H2 will function equally well as an automatic point-and-shoot or as a total-control, ultra-professional instrument.

The user manual is intended to be the standard reference manual. In it you will find full user descriptions, LCD charts, specifications, etc. For the sake of simplicity, a film magazine and standard lens are normally shown in most illustrations.

Take your time to learn the intricacies and potentials of the H2. Go at your own pace and ex- plore the possibilities when you feel ready for the next step. Results will be good from the word go, that’s guaranteed, but when you want to make improvements or work more efficiently per- haps, the H2 can provide support.

The supreme Hasselblad potential is there, it’s up to you to exploit it!
