Overview — Hasselblad H3D

The Hasselblad H3D is a medium format digital camera built around the Hasselblad H lens mount, combining a 39MP medium format sensor with the Hasselblad Digital Camera Engine image processor. Shooting at a maximum resolution of 5412x7212 pixels, it delivers substantial file detail suited to studio and controlled-environment professional work. The camera's ISO range runs from 50 to 400, keeping it firmly in the territory of well-lit or artificially lit shooting scenarios rather than available-light versatility.

Color output is governed by Hasselblad Natural Color Solution, the brand's proprietary color processing pipeline. The optical pentaprism viewfinder gives shooters a direct optical view, while the 2.2-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots handles image review and menu navigation. Autofocus is handled by a single-point contrast detection system, with no subject tracking or eye tracking on board.

The camera stores images to CompactFlash cards and connects to a computer via USB, with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity present. There is no in-body or digital image stabilization. The body itself is constructed from plastic and metal alloy, weighs 2,175g, and measures 147 x 126 x 64mm, with no weather sealing.

Flash communication runs through a standard ISO hot shoe with TTL support via the Hasselblad H flash system. Battery is the Hasselblad Rechargeable Battery Grip at 7.2V, rated for approximately 400–800 shots per charge.
