Description — Hasselblad H4D-40
The Hasselblad H4D-40 centers on a 40MP medium format sensor capable of producing images at 7264x5440 pixels, processed through Hasselblad Image Processing and rendered using the Hasselblad Natural Color Solution color profile. The camera pairs with lenses via the Hasselblad H mount and incorporates a phase detection autofocus system with a central focus point configuration. For flash users, the Central Lens Shutter design enables wide-range flash synchronization — a key advantage in studio settings.
The ISO range of 100–1600 suits well-lit and controlled environments. On the back, a 3-inch TFT Color LCD with 230,400 dots handles image review and menu access, complemented by an optical viewfinder. Files are written to CompactFlash cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB.
The magnesium alloy body provides a solid, professional foundation. There is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, burst mode, or in-body image stabilization.
