H4D-40

Size still matters

As easy to use as any 35mm camera, but featuring a 40 Megapixel Medium Format sensor, our easy to use Phocus software, and the True Focus AF, the H4D-40 provides the perfect entry point into the Hasselblad world.

The H4D-40 gives you full access to the entire Hasselblad system of software, lenses, and features and has been designed to meet the needs of the most demanding high-end commercial photographers – and yours.

Features such as low noise color filters on the sensor and the high performance H System lens line, provide the basis for increased clarity and increased depth of field.

The Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS) achieves consistent color reproduction using a single color profile, and digital lens correction (DAC), perfects each image captured through the H System lenses, by removing any trace of distortion, vignetting, or chromatic aberrations.

The H4D also comes bundled with our Phocus imaging software, which features a dramatically reduced learning curve and enables the average photographer to be up to speed in less than 30 minutes. Check out the links to the right to read more about the H4D and the technology behind this amazing product and to see what leading photographers have to say about it.

Electronic Spirit Level

The H4D-40 has an integrated electronic spirit level to make it easy to produce a straight horizon. The spirit level is shown both in the viewfinder and on the rear LCD. You therefore don’t need to take your eye from the viewfinder to check camera alignment.
