Overview USER GUIDE 3.15 PHOCUS OVERVIEW Phocus Phocus is the Capture Processing and File Management application aimed primarily at Hasselblad 3F file handling. Phocus is available for both Mac and Windows. Professional Image Quality Phocus combines Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) with Digital Auto Correction (DAC) to provide high digital image quality in the images you create.
Overview USER GUIDE 3.16 CAMERA CONFIGURATION IN PHOCUS The Camera Configuration tool in Phocus offers a very thorough and secure way of creating comprehensive profiles for the H6D. There are three windows – Controls, Exposure and General – that present virtually all parameters to enable total control at the press of a button. This means that separate and specific custom profiles created in advance can cover a number of shooting scenarios. In addition these profiles can be easily imported and exported.
Overview USER GUIDE 37 3.17 BATTERY AND BATTERY GRIP Rechargeable battery grip The environmentally approved Battery grip Li-ion (3043357) is the standard power source for the H6D camera. The H6D requires a power supply for all actions as there is no mechanical reserve facility. It is therefore advisable to keep a reserve rechargeable battery grip at hand. As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered when used in very low temperatures.
USER GUIDE Overview 38 3.18 BATTERY CHARGER The battery charger is supplied with a number of plug attachments to suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide. Other types of socket will require a domestic socket converter. Attach the chosen plug by sliding it into position as in the diagram. Removal is by the reverse procedure.
USER GUIDE Overview RECHARGEABLE BATTERY GRIP SPECIFICATION LI-ION/ BATTERY CHARGER 3053572 BCH-2 – PRECAUTIONS and GENERAL The battery should be charged for approximately 6 hours before first time use. The battery should have a usable service life of around 400 recharge/discharge cycles. Connect the battery grip to the camera correctly. The battery must be charged at room temperature. Maximum battery capacity is reached only after the battery has been charged and discharged several times.
Overview USER GUIDE BATTERY LIFE AND BATTERY WARNING Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exactly predicted. If the camera is left in the active state instead of Display Off or Sleep modes for long periods, for example, then the battery will become exhausted much faster. A low camera battery state is indicated by a symbol on the grip display, in the viewfinder as well as on the sensor unit display. In addition, an audible signal sounds.

USER GUIDE To Use FOCUSING DISTANCE CALCULATION There are two distance scales (in feet and metres) visible through the window on the upper part of the lens barrel. The focusing distance is read off the chosen scale from the central lens index (A). A STOP DOWN / DEPTH OF FIELD PREVIEW A visual depth-of-field preview can be made by pressing the STOP DOWN button (B) while viewing the image in the viewfinder. Depth-of-field is calculated as follows: B 1 Focus the lens as required.
To Use USER GUIDE INFRARED FOCUS SETTING As infrared rays form an image at a plane different to that formed by visible light, the normal focus settings do not apply. Proceed as follows in manual focus mode: 1 Focus the lens. 2 Note the distance setting at the central lens index. 3 Realign this distance setting against the infrared mark (coloured red) instead of to the central lens index.
USER GUIDE To Use FOCUS ASSIST The camera also features a LED focus assist. Two arrowheads are displayed to the right of the viewfinder display (except for lenses with a maximum aperture of f/6.7 or smaller). The arrowheads provides confirmation of a precision focus setting and are a useful aid when making a setting with eyesight only.
USER GUIDE To Use MANUAL FOCUS A There is both a Manual focus mode setting and a manual override capability. B In Manual focus mode, focusing is carried out by rotating the focus ring on the lens. The focus setting remains until changed as with a conventional non-autofocus lens. This means that pressing the shutter release button will not activate a focus setting change as it does in autofocus. To change back to autofocus, press the AF button (B) and select AF-S, AF-C or AF-T.
To Use USER GUIDE AUTOFOCUS Autofocus modes Single Shot or Continuous are activated by pressing the shutter release to the half-press position. The operative range is from EV 1 to EV 19 at ISO 100. The point of focus is determined according to the vertical and horizontal areas (see illustration) within the central rectangular zone on the focusing screen. Alternatively, an attached flash unit that has a similar facility (a Metz 54/70, for example) can also be used. This feature can be altered in settings.
USER GUIDE To Use SINGLE SHOT FOCUS At Single Shot setting (AF S), the shutter release will be blocked until the camera finds the optimum focus setting. This ensures that no captures are made that are not finely focused. However, this delay is normally only a fraction of a second in good lighting conditions with a clear focusing pattern.
USER GUIDE To Use 5.6 CAMERA TRUE FOCUS The True Focus setting (AF-T) is generally used in specific circumstances to automatically correct for camera angle/focus setting discrepancies, but it can also be combined with other autofocus settings. AF-T True Focus Mode To exploit True Focus correctly, a few important points should be studied in order to obtain a full understanding of how and when to use it.
USER GUIDE To Use TRUE FOCUS AND ABSOLUTE POSITION LOCK A The obvious situation that would most benefit from using True Focus would be a fashion shoot with a fairly wide angle lens at a large aperture setting and where the central area of the image is clothing while retaining focus on the model’s face. Ideally a fairly controlled and static flow should be planned. A change of pose by the model should take place only after captures.
To Use USER GUIDE TRUE FOCUS AND CAMERA HANDLING To obtain the maximum benefit from True Focus work within the requirements of the system. This might need a little practice but it will improve the accuracy of the measurements and thereby provide better results. 1 Remain as still as possible when making the first True Focus measurement and wait for the audio signal or ready light to show green again before continuing. This will not only speed up the process but also increase accuracy.
