Hasselblad H4D200MS

Note

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!

Note

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.

Note

The autofocus function is not possible with certain combi-

nations of lenses and accessories. However, a warning is dis-

played which disappears after conﬁrmation.

Tip

The True Focus function can also be combined with other

autofocus modes for speciﬁc situations.

Tip

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.

Tip

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).

Note

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.
