HASSELBLAD H2
90° viewfinder
The HV90X viewfinder offers near 100% image view and
eyesight dioptre correction. The large eyepiece also allows
full image view even when wearing glasses.
Built-in fill flash
The viewfinder also features a compact flash. Though pri-
marily intended to be used as fill flash it can also be used
as main flash in some cases. The flash has a metric guide
number of 12, but when used as fill flash with -2 stops
adjustment it is equal to guide number 24.
Automatic flash
With the SCA 3902 flash adapter, any flash compatible with
the SCA3002 system can be used. This means that you
can choose from small and compact flashes for extremely
portable use as well as larger and more powerful flashes
when so required.
Flash metering system
The built-in flash metering system is designed to be used
when working with manually controlled flashes, such as
studio flashes.
Interchangeable film backs
The film back for the H2 camera features inserts than can
handle both 120 and 220 film. If you use Bar coded film
(defined by FUJIFILM) the setting of both film type and ISO
value is automatic. Film wind-on and wind-off is also auto-
matic with all films.
Customizable data imprinting
Data, e.g. exposure parameters, can be printed along the
film edge and outside of the image area. The imprint func-
tion can include a user selectable text string that will also
be printed on the film. This text string is also added to
the image meta data when using Hasselblad CF digital
backs.
Dot-matrix displays
The grip LCD and the viewfinder LCD is of dot-matrix type.
This means that the camera is able to present clear and
easy-to-understand information and messages instead of
fixed and sometimes not so obvious symbols.
Lens optimization data
The camera supplies extra unique information to the
Hasselblad CF digital back to make automatic image
enhancement possible resulting in unparalleled digital
image quality.
Instant Approval Architecture
As an integral part of Hasselblad’s digital solutions the H2
is fronting the Instant Approval Architecture from the split
second of capture. Limitless digital image capture loses
some of its potential if the photographer cannot quickly
review and select the best images to present to the client.

ing that existing cameras will acquire new features just
