Multi-shot capability is available with the H5D-200cMS and
H5D-50cMS models. Apart from regular 1-shot captures, the
H5D-50cMS also oers 4-shot captures while the H5D-200cMS
oers 4- or 6-shot captures. Multi-shot captures are made of
the same scene with the sensor oset very slightly for each
shot. The resulting image shows ultimate color denition
and eliminates unwanted moiré and artefacts. Both models
produce undeniable and obvious improvements in technical
quality in 4-shot mode while the H5D-200cMS raises the bar
even further in 6-shot mode for special assignments.
To make a multi-shot capture, you must work tethered to a
computer and have Hasselblad Phocus running. From the
capture menu simply choose 'Multi-shot' and Phocus takes
care of the operation automatically. The captures are then
saved as 3F les directly into the capture destination folder
as normal.
The technology behind the multi-shot feature is high preci-
sion piezo controlled movements of the sensor. In the case
of a H5D-200cMS 6-shot capture sequence, for example, four
separate shots are taken in succession in pixel sized incre-
ments (one for each color, but with green captured twice for
extra sharpness), followed by two more captures moved by
half-pixel increments to ll most of the gaps. These six les are
then combined into a single, extremely high-resolution im-
age. Apart from the elimination of unwanted moiré and arte-
facts, captures taken in multi-shot mode will be much sharper
and contain much more detail than single-shot images. They
therefore will also stand up to much greater enlargement
later in production.
In use, it is essential to ensure that there is no movement in ei-
ther the camera or the subject. Therefore the multi-shot capa-
bility is only suitable for tripod/camera stand use for studio-
like environments and stationary subjects such as technical
or product shots and similar under stable lighting conditions.
However, in single shot mode both the models also function
exactly as a standard model with all the specications, fea-
tures and benets of regular H5 cameras.

MULTI SHOT
This image was taken in both 1-shot and 6-shot mode to illustrate the increase in quality that the 6-shot mode produces.
The 6-shot image has ner details and completely lacks the color moiré that can appear in such very small details.
