39 million pixels
The H2D-39 uses a 39 megapixel sensor that is more
than twice the physical size of today’s 35mm sensors.
This sensor holds more and larger pixels, which guaran-
t
ees superior image quality and provides moiré free color
rendering without gradation break-ups in even the finest lit
surfaces. Images shot with the H2D-39 have unsurpassed
clarity and sharpness, thanks to the ultra-high pixel resolu-
t
ion produced by the 39 Mpix sensor. This sensor produces
the largest digital files currently available for professional
photography, making them ideal for the most demanding,
high resolution printing applications and give the photogra-
p
her increased flexibility and creative control when cropping
or enlarging for printing. The H2D-39 represent the finest
image capture quality possible; all images are the result
of the superior performance of the H System camera and
lenses and have been fine tuned with Hasselblad’s unique
Digital APO Correction technique. Hasselblad’s Natural
Color Solution also gives optimal color reproduction across
all job types.
Today’s photographers demand higher resolution, less
noise, and improved composition, all of which the H2D-39
provides. The new 39Mpix H2D-39 is a true Hasselblad,
with every feature and aspect of its performance represent-
i
ng the superior quality and design that go into each Has-
s
elblad product.
The H2D-39 is the world’s first high-end, digital auto-
focus camera based on a 39 million pixel sensor.
The H2D-39 is designed around the Hasselblad H2
camera and is completely compatible with the H2’s
range of Central shutter-based lenses, considered by
many to be the finest high-performance lenses in the
world. The H2D-39 also includes a range of extended
digital features including Digital APO Correction tech-
n
ology and Instant Approval Architecture. The Has-
s
elblad H2D-39 brings the highest level of integration
and flexibility to the professional photographer.
H2D-39 with Digital APO Correction
The H2D-39 captures an extended set of metadata and then
performs an automated correction for color aberration effects
with every shot. This means that your digital captures are auto-
m
atically optimized to provide the finest detail that a given lens
can resolve. We have named this feature “Digital APO Correc-
t
ion” (DAC), signifying the digital, APO-chromatic correction of
the images that takes place. Implementation of this feature
includes detailed mapping of each H system lens, ensuring that
each image represents the best that your equipment can pro-
d
uce. We are confident that the image quality you achieve as a
result of the DAC functionality will make you - and your custom-
e
rs - look twice.
Unique Hasselblad Natural Color Solution
In the past, color management solutions have imposed limita-
tions on professional digital photographers, because of the need
to choose a specific color profile to suit a specific job in order
to capture various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers, etc. Has-
s
elblad has helped solve this dilemma, with the development of
a new, powerful color profile to be used with its FlexColor imag-
i
ng software. Working with the new Hasselblad Natural Color
Solution enables you to produce outstanding and reliable out-of-
the-box colors, with skin tones, special product gradations, and
other difficult colors reproduced easily and effectively.
We have developed a new Hasselblad raw file format called: 3F
RAW (3FR) to help implement our new unique color system. The
