The Hasselblad H5D-200c takes still-life studio photography to mind blowing moire free 200Mpix resolution. Six shot 'microstep technology' takes maximum advantage of everything the HC lenses have to offer, which is a very great deal in itself, and combines it with the latest CMOS capabilities to produce a quality that is hard to believe is possible. From fine cars to miniature artworks and from delicate fabrics to diamonds or quite simply where only the best reproduction is acceptable the 200Mpix multi-shot image offers true color and moire free capture, providing an astonishing level of detail.



As if that was not enough, this camera still claims all the advantages of the H5D line-True Focus, Ultra Focus, Digital Lens Correction plus being able to shoot regardless of lighting conditions as a result of the very high ISO settings that are capable of unforeseen high quality with remarkably little noise. These top of the range features make the H5D-200c MS such an outstanding camera choice - a studio workhorse to produce unsurpassable quality in a controlled environment to doubling up as a top flight, hand held single-shot camera for shots on the move. Versatility was always a Hasselblad cornerstone and remains so. The H5D-200c MS camera system has been especially designed to meet demands for both flexibility and ultimate image quality. This includes:



 The freedom to choose between eye-level and waist-level view-finders both providing the best viewfinder image on any camera

 The choice of combining point-and-shoot and tilt/shift to solve creative commercial challenges

 The ability to combine working tethered and untethered to get the most of your camera system both on location and in the studio

 The option of processing your raw images in Hasselblad's Phocus imaging toolbox, or working with your raw images directly in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

 Phocus Mobile app to control the camera and view images on your iPhone/iPad



New CMOS sensor

The H5D-200c MS features a brand new CMOS sensor measuring 43.8 x 32.9mm - almost twice the physical size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors. Basic ISO rating is from ISO 100 to ISO 6400. The high sensitivity of the new sensor enables completely new application areas for all professional medium format photographers. It is now totally possible to capture super high quality images even at high ISO settings making low light photography easy. This high sensitivity and fast capture speed together with the high dynamic range of 14 stops makes this camera a true all-round camera that can be used for almost any type of photography. The H5D-200c MS is built around a high speed architecture that can capture full resolution images at the rate of 1.5 captures per second, working either mobile or tethered to a computer.



Non-compromising details and colors

The H5D-200c MS camera uses a 50Mpix CMOS sensor mounted onto the Hasselblad patented symmetrical multi-shot frame, which accurately positions the sensor with a sub-micron accuracy using piezo-electrical actuators. It can capture 6 shots with the sensor positioned accurately at a sequence of quadrants of the pixel and takes color information from the Bayer-patterned pixels to create a 200Mpix capture. This results in a leap in resolution that has to be seen to fully appreciate the tremendous difference it makes. Be prepared to be impressed beyond your expectations.



Medium Format digital capture advantage

In digital photography, the advantages of large format cameras have become even more obvious. The basic 6x4.5 cm design allows the H5D-200c MS to use one of the largest image sensors currently available in digital photography. Consequently the sensor holds more and larger pixels, which deliver the highest possible image quality in terms of moire-free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit surfaces.



Lens Compatibility

The highly renowned H system lens line includes 12 Auto-Focus lenses, all with central lens shutters. Range is from 24mm to 300mm, 50-110mm zoom, 35-90mm zoom, a 1.7x Converter and a dedicated wide angle Macro Converter. The built-in central shutter allows flash to be used at all shutter speeds down to 1/800s. making flash photography in daylight easy. It also improves image quality by generating extremely low camera vibration. The HTS 1.5 tilt/shift adapter delivers an easy to use, portable tilt/ shift solution for 6 H System lenses ranging from 24mm to 100mm. The CF lens adapter allows use of the classic CF-lenses from the Hasselblad V-camera, with full use of their central shutters, allowing flash to be employed at shutter speeds down to 1/500s. And thanks to the large format of the H System cameras, there is a considerably shallower depth of field range, making it much easier to utilize selective focus to creative effect.



Viewfinder options

One of the important traditional advantages of the medium format is the extra-large and bright viewfinder image, enabling extremely precise compositions and easy operation in dim lighting. The H5D-200c MS comes with the HVD 90x viewfinder designed for full performance over the large sensor. Hasselblad has added an interchangeable waist-level viewfinder, the HVM, for the entire range of H system cameras. The bright and large viewfinder image is ideal for creative composing and the photographer is able to shoot in the fashion that suits them most; maintaining eye contact with the model, or gaining impact by shooting from a point lower than eye-level, for example.



Digital Lens Correction and Ultra-Focus for image Perfection

The H5D-200c MS camera allows information from the lens and exact capture conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-fine-tuning of the auto-focus mechanism, taking into account the design specifications of the lens and the optical specifications of the sensor. In this way the full H System lens program is even further enhanced, bringing a new level of sharpness and resolution. Detailed information about capture condition is also stored in the image file. This information is then used by Phocus to perform digital lens correction, which is an automatic correction of the images based on a combination of the various parameters concerning each specific lens for each specific shot, ensuring that each image represents the best that your equipment can produce. Digital Lens Correction is available regardless if Phocus or Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is used.



Improved handling

Many new features have been added to the H5D 200c MS to make the use of the camera even easier than before. This includes the option to use the grip controls to control settings and operation of the sensor unit. E.g. you can control zoom, browsing and menu selection without taking your hand off the grip. The Profile handling where you can store complete camera settings in memory for easy access. Now seven different camera set-ups can be stored and settings both from camera body and sensor unit are stored in the profile. In Phocus you can also easily manage your collection of profiles.



Live Video and Live View

The new CMOS sensor allows for much faster operations than CCD sensors. This makes it possible to provide a much improved Live Video in Phocus but also Live View on the rear display. Both modes are perfect for composing and focus checking.



Electronic spirit level

The H5D-200c MS has an integrated electronic spirit level to make it easy to produce a straight horizon. The spirit level is shown both in the viewfinder and on the rear LCD. You therefore don't need to take your eye from the viewfinder to check camera alignment.



Camera info on rear LCD

To improve visibility in certain situations, the rear LCD can now show a copy of the camera grip LCD where you see all relevant shooting information.



Hasselblad's unique natural colors

Hasselblad's Natural Color Solution (HNCS) enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of-the-box colors, with skin tones, specific product colors and other difficult tones reproduced easily and effectively. In order to incorporate the unique HNCS and DAC- features they have developed a custom Hasselblad raw file format called 3F RAW (3FR). This file format includes lossless image compression, which reduces the file size by 33%. The 3FR files can be opened directly in Apple or Adobe imaging environments.



Two modes of operation and storage

The H5D-200c MS offers a choice of storage devices: CF cards or a computer hard drive. With these operating and storage options, you are able to select a mode to suit the nature of the work in hand, whether in the studio or on location.



Accessories including GPS Recording Flexibility

Hasselblad's Global Image Locator (GIL) is an accessory for use with any Hasselblad H-System digital capture product. With the GIL device, all images captured outdoors are tagged with GPS coordinates, time and altitude. This data provides the key to a number of future applications involving image archiving and retrieval. One example is the direct mapping of images in Phocus software to the Google Earth application
