hours to 1/800s, user customization of functions. And that’s not all! Bracketing, interval timer,

diopter adjustment in viewnder, zone system capability, time-lapse photography, customized
proles and so on.
In digital photography, the advantages of larger format cameras become particularly obvious.
The 6 x 4.5 cm window allows the Hasselblad H2F to use the largest image sensors currently
available in digital photography – more than twice the size of a 35mm camera sensor. The sen-
sor therefore holds more and larger pixels, which secure a high-end image quality in terms of
moiré free color rendering without gradation break-ups in even the nest lit surfaces.
When using a digital back you have the advantage of features such as Hasselblad Natural Color
Solution, DNG workow, Instant Approval Architecture, “Instant” user interface, three modes of
operation and storage as well as FlexColor or Phocus software for professional level workow.
Furthermore, apart from the practical aspects, the H2F also exudes a feeling of superb design
and ergonomics that makes the camera a pleasure to own as well as use. For handling and con-
venience 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 condent that you are going to incorporate this camera insepa-
rably into your photographic life. We are also condent 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.

Finally, please check occasionally on the Hasselblad website — www.hasselblad.com — for any updates re-
garding user instructions, changes, news, or other information concerning the H system. If you have no Internet
access, please contact your Hasselblad dealer or distributor for the latest information.
The primary goal of all camera development is of course the seamless and unobtrusive produc-
tion of superb images, regardless of situation. The H2F has abilities and features that you may
not think you need, yet. Each individual has their own way of working. But the H2F has tremen-
dous scope for ne-tuning your technique possibly beyond your present ambitions .
The Quick Start Guide should have you up and running in minutes. The H2F 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 nd full user de-
scriptions, LCD charts, specications, etc. For the sake of simplicity, a lm magazine and stand-
ard lens are normally shown in most illustrations.
Take your time to learn the intricacies and potentials of the H2F. 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 eciently per-
haps, the H2F can provide support.
The supreme Hasselblad potential is there, it’s up to you to exploit it!
