Using the D-Range Settings eectively
By combining the DRO/Auto HDR manual setting (exposure dierence/ DRO-Level) and exposure com-
pensation, you can control the range of the contrast of light and shade (gradations) to be reproduced.
With DRO, set a DRO-Level to reproduce the shadow tones, and set a minus value of exposure compensation to reproduce the light tones. A large minus compensation and DRO-Level setting may cause
noise. It is recommended that you check the result rst, by enlarging the playback image, etc.
With Auto HDR, set the exposure dierence to adjust the overall reproduction range, and shi the
range towards lighter tones (minus compensation) or darker tones (plus compensation) with the exposure compensation setting.

Anti Motion Blur
e camera combines six shots captured at high speed into one still image, reducing camera shake as
well as preventing noise. By treating the person (subject) in the foreground and the background separately, both camera shake and subject blur are reduced. Avoiding use of ash prevents over-exposure.
Select MENUShoot ModeAnti Motion Blur.

The dierence between Anti Motion Blur and Hand-held Twilight functions
Just as with Anti Motion Blur, the camera combines six shots into one still image with Hand-held
Twil igh t in Scene Selection.
Hand-held Twilight is designed to be used for dark scenes , such as a scene shot at night. When it
becomes dark and camera-shake is likely to occur, the camera automatically increases the sensitivity and
shoots at a shutter speed that reduces the eect of camera shake.
Anti Motion Blur is designed to be used when shooting a subject in low light, such as when shooting
indoors. e camera automatically increases the sensitivity and shoots the subject at a high speed shutter
setting to reduce the blur caused by movement of the subject.
Manual movie recording
In the P, A, S, or M mode, you can adjust the exposure even when recording movies. is enables you to
produce more creative expression, by reducing the focus on the background, adjusting the brightness, etc.

Note
• e recording time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which
automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time is shorter because a lot of memory is needed to record. e
recording time also varies according to the shooting conditions or your subject or the quality/size setting.

Number of still images that can be recorded
using a battery pack
e approximate number of images that can be recorded is as follows when you use the camera with the
battery pack (supplied) at full capacity.
Note that the actual number may be less depending on the conditions of use.

Viewnder mode
• ese numbers were estimated with a battery pack at full capacity and under the following conditions:
– At an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
– Quality set to Fine.
– Autofocus Mode set to Single-shot AF.
– Shooting takes place once every 30 seconds.
– Flash used for every other shot.
– Power turned o then on again once every 10 shots.
– Using a battery pack that is charged for an hour aer the CHARGE lamp goes out.
– Using Sony “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media (sold separately).
• e measurement method is based on the CIPA standard. (CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association)

Troubleshooting
If you experience trouble with the camera, try the following solutions.
Check the items in “Troubleshooting” in the “Handbook” (PDF) included
on the CD-ROM (supplied).
Remove the battery pack, wait for about 1 minute, re-insert the battery pack,
then turn on the power.
Reset the settings (page 31).
Consult your Hasselblad dealer or local authorized Hasselblad service facility.

1)
e values for equivalent 35 mm format focal
length and angle of view are based on digital
cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image
sensor.
2)
Minimum focus is the shortestdistance from the
image sensor to
the subject.

About focal length
e picture angle of this camera is narrower than
that of a 35 mm-format lm camera. You can nd
the approximate equivalent of the focal length of
a 35 mm-format lm camera, and shoot with the
same picture angle, by increasing the focal length
of your lens by half. For example, by using a 50 mm
lens, you can get the approximate equivalent of a 75
mm lens of a 35 mm-format lm camera.
About image data compatibility
• is camera conforms with DCF (Design rule
for Camera File system) universal standard
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and In-
formation Technology Industries Association).
• Playback of images recorded with your camera
on other equipment and playback of images
recorded or edited with other equipment on
your camera are not guaranteed.
