Multi-shot capability is available with the H5D-200MS and
H5D-50MS models. Apart from regular 1-shot captures, the
H5D-50MS also offers 4-shot captures while the H5D-200MS
offers 4- or 6-shot captures. Multi-shot captures are made of
the same scene with the sensor offset very slightly for each
shot. The resulting image shows ultimate color definition and
eliminates unwanted moiré and artefacts.
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 files 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-200MS 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 fill most of the gaps. These six files 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 specifications, fea-
tures and benefits 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 finer details and completely lacks the color moiré that can appear in such very small details.
