Some lenses have extra characteristics that require further ­explanation. For example, the autofocus range on the HC 4/120 Macro lens can be limited by a specific setting on the

camera­ ­allowing for near range, far range or full range. This only ­appears on the grip display together with that particular lens.

Further information can be found in the "H-system Lenses & H-system Lens Accessories" booklet that accompanies each lens. The booklet can also be downloaded from the Hassel- blad website.

Also, see note here regarding HCD lenses!

N o t e

HCD lenses were formulated for use with the smaller size

sensors­ in the H-series, resulting in a reduced coverage for the larger sensors used in 60 Mpix models. So, if you use HCD lenses, be aware of the restrictions (vignetting and diminished quality at the edges).

As notification of this situation, an auto crop function is

employed­ and an HCD crop icon appears on the right hand side of the viewfinder display when an HCD lens is fitted.

When in Phocus, however, the auto crop function can be turned off in Preferences if you wish.

N o t e

Lens corrections can be applied when captures are import- ed into Phocus. Guided by the information in the metadata

included­ with each individual capture, the DAC (digital lens correction) tool uses lens-model specific calculations to adjust for chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. Not only model specifications but also capture parameters are taken into consideration for analysis.

This extremely capable refinement of captures should not be overlooked when processing files! See Phocus user manual for details.

For users who prefer manual focus control but would like the benefits of autofocus, one method is to set the AE-L button (or any customizable button) to AF (Single) drive.

The main subject can then be centered and the AE-L pressed, to ensure correct focus. The camera reverts immediately to manual focus control when the button is released.

Therefore, you can recompose the picture without having to maintain pressure on the release button in order to retain the newly automatically made focus setting (AF-T can also be used).

T i p

The True Focus function can also be combined with other autofocus modes for specific situations.

T i p

To expand your range of lenses, consider using a CF adapter to allow you to use most of the lenses from the Hasselblad V- system.

N o t e

The autofocus function is not possible with certain combi- nations of lenses and accessories. However, a warning is dis- played which disappears after confirmation.
