1 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION 8

1.1 907X SPECIAL EDITION

On 20 July 1969, Astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong successfully landed on our lunar surface, becoming the first humans to step foot on the Moon. The 907X Special Edition celebrates the anniversary of this first Moon landing and the Hasselblad cameras that documented the historic event. Incorporating the 907X and CFV II 50C, it connects Hasselblad’s photographic history into one system, enabling full use of the high

performance lenses from the Hasselblad X System. Through additional lens adapters, the 907X Special Edition even supports V, H, and XPan system lenses.

This User Guide describes the functionality of the 907X Special Edition Camera. A separate User Guide is available that explains how to use the CFV II 50C on V System and Technical Cameras.

Reminiscent of the classic V System camera combined with Hasselblad’s high-end digital medium format technology, the 907X Special Edition camera offers a truly distinct photographic experience. Small and compact, it produces unparalleled medium format image quality. The CFV II 50C’s tilt screen enables the classic waist-level shooting style of the V System, hinting to Hasselblad’s history while letting photographers compose their images from a new point of view in the digital era.

INTRODUCTION 10

V System Camera support

The CFV II 50C digital back can be removed from the 907X camera body and be used on most V System Cameras ever built. See the separate User Guide for the CFV II 50C for more information.

Touch screen interface

Equipped with a smartphone style user interface, the rear touch 3 inch display allows quick and simple access to the digital back shooting settings including WB and ISO. There is also the option of adding up to 8 favourite icons to the main menu display to allow fast access to your most frequently used functions and settings.

Tilt screen

The rear screen can be tilted upwards 90 degrees for convenient operation in many situations.

Live view

High frame rate live view is available to assist with critical focusing of the image.

Dual SD media card slots

Equipped with dual UHS-2 compatible media card slots, the digital back will automatically use them concurrently for storage.

Battery inside

Improving on previous CFV models, the interchangeable and rechargeable battery is now located inside the CFV, behind the SD card lid. This enables the streamlined shape and design to be maintained and makes it possible to adapt to basically all V System cameras ever made. Battery type is the same that is used for X System cameras.

USB 3 Type C

Simplifying and enhancing tethered shooting to your Mac or PC, the USB 3 interface allows easy connectivity with today’s high speed ports.

Built-in Wi-Fi

The Wi-Fi function uses both 2.4 and 5 GHz and has the option of 802.11 b, g, n, a, ac (a and ac depending on region) connections. A separate App for iOS, Phocus Mobile 2 is available for download from the Apple App Store.

INTRODUCTION 11

JPEG & RAW files

The JPEG files are HNC profiled so you can print straight from a folder for amazing quality. RAW files are retained for your final masterpieces.

Digital lens corrections

The Digital lens correction, which is applied at the file editing stage, takes care of any colour aberration, distortion and light fall off however minor (which is inherent in any lens, anywhere) and resolves the situation automatically.

Huge 14 stop dynamic range

Makes it easier to keep details in both deep shadows and bright highlights. It will also allow fantastic HDR images to be assembled from less captures.

Large 43.8 x 32.9mm 50MP sensor

For amazing image resolution with low image noise, enabling enlargements in breathtaking quality.

Shallow depth of field

The larger size of the sensor delivers a shallower depth of field with a given focal length compared to a Full Frame 35mm camera enabling easier separation of your subject from the background and super smooth Bokeh with Hasselblad lenses delivering the classic “medium format look” to your images.

HNCS Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution

HNCS saves time and enables high colour accuracy. Especially important with skin tones and specific product tones that now are going to be perfectly rendered.

Hasselblad Phocus digital imaging software

The Hasselblad Phocus Digital imaging software is a capture, processing and file management application aimed primarily at Hasselblad RAW file handling. The desktop version is compatible with both Mac and PC and is a free download from www.hasselblad.com.

Hasselblad Phocus Mobile 2 app for iOS

Use the iPad Pro to edit images directly from the camera. Phocus Mobile 2 offers remote viewing and control when shooting tethered (Wi-Fi or USB cable). Phocus mobile 2 is free to download at Apple´s App Store for the iPad Pro.

The 907X camera is not compatible with the previous version of Phocus Mobile.
