3.15 PHOCUS OVERVIEW

USER GUIDE

Phocus

Phocus is the Capture Processing and File Management application aimed primarily at Hasselblad 3F le handling. Phocus is available for both Mac and Windows.

Professional Image Quality

Phocus combines Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) with Digital Auto Correction (DAC) to provide high digital image quality in the images you create. With Phocus, the moiré effect that can occur on even extremely high resolution images is effectively removed automatically and directly on the raw data, leaving the image quality intact and saves time in post production work. Tethered shooting is efcient with Phocus Remote camera controls providing a number of remote functions. For example remote focusing, live view, aperture and exposure time controls.

Phocus Mobile

Phocus Mobile is available for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod Touch®. It enables you to connect wireless to a computer running

Phocus and to remotely browse your high-resolution RAW, JPEG and TIFF images. This provides a solution for working with clients in the studio, enabling each person to view images on an individual iOS device, rather than all gathering around a single computer. Phocus Mobile also allows users to remotely operate and trigger a tethered camera, giving control of many parameters, all neatly presented in a virtual camera display. This feature is very convenient for remote control of the camera when it’s located in a difcult to access position.

Phocus Mobile is available for free download in the Apple App Store. www.apple.com.

H6D www.hasselblad.com

Overview

3.16 CAMERA CONFIGURATION IN PHOCUS

USER GUIDE

The Camera Conguration tool in Phocus offers a very thorough and secure way of creating comprehensive proles for the H6D. There are three windows – Controls, Exposure and General – that present virtually all parameters to enable total control at the press of a button. This means that separate and specic custom proles created in advance can cover a number of shooting scenarios.

In addition these proles can be easily imported and exported. For instance, you can create a special prole to suit a specic type of shoot and keep it on a memory stick or laptop. So, when renting an H6D for example, you only have to upload the saved prole to ensure that all parameters have been reset without you having to go through each detail – simple and secure.

The interface has three tabs at the top, Controls, Exposure and General, that access the windows. Descriptive information appears as you mouse over the various menus and extra tool tips are additionally available as an option. To take an example, the Controls window is illustrated here. On the left are two lists: Camera and Library. The Camera list includes the various available conguration proles already stored in the camera – the prole currently in use as well as the default settings and those you have created or imported from other sources. Library contains the factory pre-sets stored on disk.

Creating a prole

1 Open Camera Conguration located under the Windows

menu.

2 Connect the camera and in the Camera list click on a prole

you want to change or a spare pro le and name it.

3 Cycle through the three windows, Controls, Exposure and

General, making the appropriate selections that you require. When complete, select the new pro le and drag and drop or right click it to store in the Library.

4 Right click the Library version of the prole to access the

Transfer Prole Set to Camera option then click on OK to complete the action. This causes the new prole to appear on the grip display for selection when you click on the Proles button.

Right click a prole in Library to access the Rename, Reset to Standard, Delete and Export options if required. Import, Export, Transfer, Add Prole etc. tools are also available.

Overview

3.17 BATTERY AND BATTERY GRIP

Rechargeable battery grip

The environmentally approved Battery grip Li-ion (3043357) is the standard power source for the H6D camera. The H6D requires a power supply for all actions as there is no mechanical reserve facility. It is therefore advisable to keep a reserve rechargeable battery grip at hand. As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered when used in very low temperatures. In this situation it is advisable to keep the reserve battery in an inside pocket, for example, to maintain it near body temperature.

Remove a battery

Remove the battery from the camera by pressing the battery holder button (1) and simultaneously swinging the battery holder retaining lever (2) down until it stops. Pull the battery downwards (3).

Mount a battery

To t, hold the battery at against the camera body and aligning the two upper lugs with the slot, slide it back into position as far as it will go. Swing back the battery holder retaining lever (2) until it clicks back into place.

USER GUIDE

Store a battery

If you intend to store the battery separate from the camera, ensure the safety cover is mounted over the electric connections on the battery to prevent short-circuiting. It snaps into place and is removed by pulling outwards and upwards on the locking clip.

Connect battery to charger

Mount the charger plug in the plug connector on the inside of the battery (4).

See next page for more in depth information.

H6D www.hasselblad.com

Overview

3.18 BATTERY CHARGER

The battery charger is supplied with a number of plug attachments to suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide. Other types of socket will require a domestic socket converter.

Attach the chosen plug by sliding it into position as in the diagram. Removal is by the reverse procedure. Please note that the Battery charger BCH-2 (3053572) is designed for use with Battery grip Li-ion 3200 (3043357) but can also be used together with the Battery grip rechargeable

7.2V Li-Ion 2900 (3043356) intended for H5D use.

USER GUIDE

CHARGE THE BATTERY

With the battery removed from the camera, insert the jack plug from the battery charger into the socket on the battery grip (1). Insert the battery charger into a standard (100–240V~ /50–60 Hz) domestic socket.

During the charging procedure, the lamp on the charger signies the following:

Steady Green light: Standby (no battery connected) Steady Yellow light: Charging Steady Green light: Ready!

NOTE!

It can take about 6 hours to charge the battery completely up to 100% the rst time.

See next page for more details and precautions.

H6D www.hasselblad.com

Overview

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY GRIP SPECIFICATION

LI-ION/ BATTERY CHARGER 3053572 BCH-2 – PRECAUTIONS and GENERAL

The battery should be charged for approximately 6 hours before rst time use.

The battery must be charged at room temperature.

Maximum battery capacity is reached only after the battery has been charged and discharged several times.

USER GUIDE

The battery should have a usable service life of around 400 recharge/discharge cycles.

Connect the battery grip to the camera correctly.

Keep the protective cover in place when not in use. (Short circuiting across keys in a pocket, for example, could cause a re risk).

Avoid frequent full discharges (a full discharge is signalled by the appearance of the Replace battery warning on the grip display). As the battery is a Li-ion type, it has no ‘memory effect’ of practical importance and therefore frequent recharges will cause no problems such as loss of capacity or poor performance. It is therefore better policy to recharge the battery at very regular intervals, regardless of use.

Remove the battery if you intend to store the camera for some while as it will eventually become completely drained, even though the camera is turned off.

The battery has an integrated ‘fuel gauge’ capability that supports the Replace battery and Battery status functions on the grip display. As with most Li-ion batteries, this capability should be occasionally calibrated, depending on how much the battery is used. To do this, leave the camera on (or use it), until the Replace battery warning appears. Then, recharge the battery for 6 hours. This will improve the accuracy of the measurements.

When removing a battery from the charger and immediately replacing it with another, allow a few seconds to elapse so that the charger can automatically reset for the next charging procedure.

Do not immerse the battery grip in liquids.

Do not incinerate the battery grip.

Please recycle or discard in an environmentally approved manner.

Use indoors only (protect against moisture).

Do not short circuit the jack plug.

Do not alter the charger in any way other than changing the plug attachment.

Note!

You can save battery consumption by changing the Display Off / Sleep / Power Off settings as well as the brightness settings of the display.

It is perfectly normal for the battery to become warm when being charged.

A slight temporary loss of battery performance might be noticed at very high or low temperatures. Take the appropriate measures if this is the case.

If you do not intend to use the battery for a while, it is best to store it at room temperature with an approximate 30 to 40% charge.

H6D www.hasselblad.com

Overview

BATTERY LIFE AND BATTERY WARNING

USER GUIDE

Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and therefore cannot be exactly predicted. If the camera is left in the active state instead of Display Off or Sleep modes for long periods, for example, then the battery will become exhausted much faster. A low camera battery state is indicated by a symbol on the grip display, in the viewnder as well as on the sensor unit display. In addition, an audible signal sounds. When the battery is almost completely exhausted, a warning message “Replace battery” will appear on the grip display.

3.19 TEMPERATURE WARNING

Many rapidly taken captures make heavy demands on the processor in the sensor unit which in turn produces heat. This, particularly in combination with high ambient temperature, can result in noise in the image les. To prevent this, the sensor unit displays a warning icon when the temperature rises. At ca. 60° C a warning dialogue appears notifying that the sensor unit is temporarily shutting down to allow the unit to cool.

3.28 MEMORY CARDS

There are two types of memory cards that can be used with the H6D camera.

1 CFast card. 2 SD card.

When using a CFast card or SD card, the H6D is completely self contained. No additional wires or connectors need to be attached.

The recommended type is UDMA/type 4 /60MBs (400x) or better. Please see the Appendix in this manual for a list of recommended cards.

USER GUIDE

The H6D is shipped with an 16 GB SDXC SD card, which is capable of holding approximately 75 − 150 captures (according to model).

Note!

All cards should be formatted in the camera before rst use!

TO INSERT A MEMORY CARD

Insert CFast card

Open the CFast card cover (1) on the sensor unit by inserting a thumb in the recess and then sliding the slot cover backwards.

Behind the cover, you will see a cover for the CFast card (2) and a cover for the smaller SD card (3).

Hold the CFast card so that the connector holes face into the slot and you can read the brand label when you are behind the camera.

USER GUIDE

Gently press the CFast card into the slot. If you encounter resistance, it might be because you are holding the card backwards or upside down.

If the card can be easily inserted nearly all the way into the back, then you are inserting it correctly. Press the card another couple of millimetres rmly into place.

Close the slot cover and slide it to the right to lock it.

Insert SD card

When the card slot cover door is opened, mount the SD card in the SD card slot (3).

FORMATTING MEMORY CARDS

MAIN MENU > GENERAL SETTINGS > STORAGE

The camera is only able to read and write to storage media that have been formatted correctly. New cards sometimes have no formatting, or you might want to convert a card that is currently using a format that the camera cannot read. In either case, you must reformat both CFast cards and SD cards in the sensor unit for H6D use.

There are two ways to format cards. The quickest way is to use the Format card button on the grip but if you prefer, you can also use the menu on the sensor unit.

FORMAT BUTTON

Press the Format button (A) on the camera grip. It is purposely recessed to avoid unintentional use, so use a ballpoint pen or similar. It is also possible to click the button with a hard press with the tip of your thumb. A prompt is displayed on the sensor unit for conrmation.

USER GUIDE

A ‘+ 0.7’ above the scale in the display, would indicate a ‘0.7 EV overexposure’ setting. Conversely, a ‘-2’, for example, would indicate a ‘2EV underexposure’ setting. Note that the appearance of a +/- symbol on the grip and viewnder displays in manual mode means that a change has been made to the exposure compensation setting. See later section on Exposure compensation. The actual aperture settings and shutter speeds are indicated to the right of the exposure scale in the conventional manner. (Note: ‘full-stops’, ‘half-stops’ and ‘third-stops’ are also displayed, according to setting (see increment setting). For example, a setting between f/8 and f/11 will appear as f/9,5 if ‘half-stop’ is chosen).

Programmed variable Pv

This mode is very similar to Programmed, except with the additional parameters of lens focal length being automatically taken into account. For example, long shutter speeds will automatically be avoided with a long focal length lens (see illustration on the following page).

In Automatic mode the front scroll wheel selects alternative aperture/shutter combinations while maintaining the same EV and the rear scroll wheel alters the amount of exposure compensation. The compensation appears as a +/- symbol on the grip display and viewnder display.

Note!

Aperture and shutter speed settings can both be changed even while the busy light on sensor unit is ashing.

To Use

AE-L BUTTON

The AE-L button (A) has two main functions that can be incorporated in various working methods involving exposure locking. It also has an extra function for the ash measure capability (see AE-L section under Flash). The AE-L button can:

Lock an EV setting in manual and automatic modes

When the button is pressed, the light metering facility is locked to the EV setting at that moment. An L (=locked) symbol appears between the shutter speed and the aperture indication on the grip display and viewnder display to conrm the status. Press the AE-L button again to unlock (a toggle function).

In the locked setting, the aperture and shutter speed become interlocked. In this way, a new aperture/shutter combination that still represents the same EV, can be rapidly chosen. For example, if the shutter is set to 1/125s and the aperture to f/8 and are locked together, you can access new EV-equivalent combinations of, for example, 1/30s a f/16 or 1/500s at f/4 just by moving the front scroll wheel.

USER GUIDE

In practice this means you can, for example, in auto mode position the metering area (spot setting) over an area in the subject that you determine to be equivalent to a mid-grey and lock it with the AE-L button. You can then recompose the picture with the metering zone positioned over an area much brighter or darker while still retaining the original exposure setting and choose a new combination of aperture and shutter speed settings.

Be used as a Zone System placement button

The AE-L button also allows the spot metering function to make zone placements. When the AE-L button is pressed, the metered area is saved as a mid-grey (Zone 5). When the spot area is then placed over another part of the scene, the new area is then compared to the saved area and the difference can be read off the scale seen in the viewnder. For example, in a landscape situation you could meter the foreground, lock the reading with the AE-L button (thereby locking that area to be reproduced as the equivalent to a mid-grey 18%), point the camera at some rocks to see by how much darker they are compared to the foreground by the EV difference read off the scale.

If you have chosen Spot together with Zone display as well as one of the automatic modes A, S, P or Pv, point the spot marking at an area that you decide should be a Zone 5 and click the AE-L button. The meter will now display different parts of the subject as zone values in the viewnder display, instead of EV deviations, as you move the spot marking over the subject. (Included are Lo and Hi to signify areas beyond the range of the sensor).

Grip Display View

Lock

zone and then check the rest of the subject to see how other areas fall on the zone scale. Do this by following the above procedure and then turning the rear scroll wheel until you see the new desired zone value in the viewnder display. You will also see the new exposure that will now produce that new zone. For example, you might have measured a rock at zone 5 but wish to make it darker. By moving the rear scroll wheel you could re-classify it as zone 4. You will then be able to see, for example, whether white clouds are now falling within the exposure range by their new zone classication.

Alternatively, you can also pre-set the initial zone reading in order to save time and effort where there is no freely available ‘zone 5’ subject for light measuring. For example, you might be on a sandy beach where you know that sand is normally classied as zone 6. You can pre-programme the zone placement by holding down the AE-L button while choosing the new zone value and turning the front scroll wheel until zone 6 appears. All new placements will then be zone 6.

Alternatively you can choose to re-classify an area as another

Light metering mode Description

Center Weighted Used for light situations where there is no

particular dominance of light or dark areas across the tonal range. Takes into account approximately 25% of the image seen in the viewnder.

Center Spot Emphasizes the central section of the focusing

screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the image. This provides a balanced assessment and is a typical choice where the main subject is in the centre of the image.

Spot The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately

2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the viewnder screen). Any parts of the image outside of this area will not affect the exposure reading. This provides a very accurate measurement of specic tones. Typically used in the zone system and similar light measuring situations where maximum control is required. Also excellent for tonal comparison measurements. The spot mode can display ‘zones’ instead of EV's in the viewnder display.

(without True Exposure)

True Exposure is an HC/HCD lens function that allows the shutter speed to remain unaffected when stopping down. This effect is perhaps not so commonly understood as it is restricted specically to integral lens shutters as opposed to focal plane shutters.

When a lens is stopped down, the effective shutter speed becomes longer, consequently affecting the set exposure. At slow shutter speeds the effect is minimal but at faster speeds, e.g. 1/500s, the effect becomes clearly visible. Automatic compensatory measures in speed setting adjustments are employed. As compensation can only be put into effect where speeds can be adjusted, this prevents the possibility of adjusting the fastest speed of 1/800s. To counter this, compensatory adjustments

Time

are therefore made to the aperture instead to retain the set exposure. This compensation is not always required and when using ash/strobe as the main light source it is actually undesirable because compensation will result in underexposure. Therefore, when using ash/strobe as the main light source, you should set True Exposure to OFF in Main Menu > Camera Settings > Exposure > True Exposure in the Camera Sensor Unit Display.

WHITE BALANCE SETTING BY USING A “GREY CARD”

There are two ways to make manual white/grey balance settings using a ‘Grey card’ or ‘Qp card’. If colour accuracy is not critical, you can use any neutrally coloured area or surface close to a mid grey value (concrete, overcast sky, or even white paper, for example). It won’t be perfect but just try to ensure that it is as neutral as possible in colour value.

● Make the rst shot a grey card/Qp card close-up and

then make the adjustment in Phocus for the session.

● Use the integral white balance from the grey card

function to make an in-camera setting for the session.

White balance settings are mirrored after being saved on the grip, sensor unit and in Phocus when tethered.

The most common work ow for using a Grey Card is to make a capture with the Grey Card present during the photo session. This capture will then be used in Phocus to neutralize all other captures in that same light.

FLASH AND STROBE SETTINGS

USER GUIDE

The H6D can be used together with most ash units in manual mode. However, to make use of a TTL automatic function, it must ensured that the ash unit is compatible with the SCA 3002 system. Connection is either by the PC socket or by the hot shoe (see warning below).

The viewnder houses an integral ll-ash with a guide number of 12 and features OTF/TTL ash control. This ash is capable of providing enough illumination for many ll ash functions outdoors as well as simple indoor shots at shorter distances.

General information

When using the A or S setting together with ash, the exposure requirements of the camera will dominate which might produce slow shutter speeds indoors, for example, requiring the use of a tripod. If P or Pv is selected instead, a shutter speed of 1/60 or faster is automatically chosen by the camera enabling the camera to be hand held.

When using ash close up or when using larger aperture settings, remember that the ash unit’s output has a specic minimum duration which might still be too great for correct exposure. Read the back’s output specications for further information regarding any potential restrictions.

Note!

Do not attempt to connect a ash unit dedicated for use with another camera brand via the hot shoe. The ash unit and / or camera could be damaged.

Note!

If using ash/strobe as the main light source and 1/800s shutter speed, remember to turn off the True Exposure function.

As with all strobe/studio ash use, very particular attention should be taken to ensure correct connections and general handling practice. Potential dangers might increase when cameras are also connected to electronic peripherals (computers, lighting backs, etc.) and should diminish when IR and similar wireless ash release devices are used.

Victor Hasselblad AB cannot accept any responsibility what so ever for accidents that might occur or damage caused when Hasselblad equipment is used in combination with third party backs of any description.

This Chapter continues on next page.

It is possible to use the ash metering capability with external ash units of all kinds (TTL ashes must be set to Manual mode).

Rear sync is a useful feature used either for effect or to produce a more ‘natural’ look when combining long exposures involving light trails and ash.

When using suitable dedicated backs (compatible with SCA3002 compatible ash unit regarding the two functions, exposure compensation and shutter sync, is via the grip. The ash measure function can be used for ash units that are not SCA 3002 compatible or for SCA 3002 compatible backs at manual setting.

To change the balance between ash output and camera exposure requirements to produce a variety of effects, use the exposure compensation function. For various long exposure effects use the sync function. To make ash exposure tests use the ash measure function.

Notes and WARNINGS!

Only ash units specially adapted for use with the H6D should be connected to the hot shoe on the camera.
