Hasselblad H2 user manual Ixpress CFH, Instant user interface

Hasselblad provides a number of digital solutions, both integral and as third-party combinations. This provision extends even beyond the medium format and thereby creates the most comprehensive range of digital solutions for high end photography.

The H2 offers a versatile platform for both analogue and digital work. However, digital integration is a fundament of the H system concept resulting in much more efficiency. A digital back on an H camera is therefore not an afterthought but rather an integral part of the system.

The H2 grip LCD is pixel based to take advantage of interpreting sig- nals from a digital back, resulting in digital display on the camera and not just on the back or host computer screen. A histogram can be displayed for immediate checking, for example. A histogram dis- played on the camera LCD consumes less battery power than if it is displayed on the digital back. Additionally, the H2 can be custom set to accommodate digital requirements. The User button, for ex- ample, can be set to immediately access grey balance adjustment on the digital back.

There are a number of third-party digital backs on the market that fit the H2. However, for the optimum in efficiency, a Hasselblad dig- ital back is recommended.

Ixpress CFH

The 22Mpix based Ixpress CFH digital back is custom built to fit the design and functionality of the Hasselblad H2 camera with its range of high performance, leaf shutter based lenses. The Ixpress CFH also fits onto view cameras using the H-system interface plate for mechanical attachment and flash sync connection to trigger the digital capture. In this way, the Ixpress CFH offers an ultra high level of integration and flexibility to the specialist professional photog- rapher.

Ixpress CFH is the first digital back which integrates completely to the new power system of the Hasselblad H2 camera. This means that both the camera and the digital back use the one LI-Ion bat- tery of the H2 as their power source.

The H2 also recognizes Hasselblad’s new Instant Approval Architecture, bringing automated image classification into your digital workflow from the split second of capture with the Ixpress CFH back.

The Ixpress CFH offers the following features:

“Instant” user interface

The Ixpress CFH is operated with a straight forward user interface with a series of “instant” one-button-click operations including: instant capture, instant browse, instant approval, instant zoom, and instant image info.
