  • Page 3 Congratulations! Welcome to the flagship of the H System. The H2 builds on the H1, adding the ability to utilize the latest advancements in digital backs, increased mobility, integrated power, and improved image quality. The H2 is the most advanced digital or film medium format photography plat- form on the market today, and a worthy addition to the famed Hasselblad line.
  • Page 4 Take your time to learn the intricacies and potentials of the H2. Go at your own pace and ex- plore the possibilities when you feel ready for the next step. Results will be good from the word go, that’s guaranteed, but when you want to make improvements or work more efficiently per-...

  • Page 12 Familiarize yourself with the H2 Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the H2 and its various controls. Note the difference be- tween a long press, a short press and a ’click’ with some buttons. For example from the main screen a click of the ON.OFF button will take you to Profiles while a longer press will turn the camera off.
  • Page 13: Function Control

    ■ Rapidly accessible menu ■ Interactive display ■ Customizable functions All functions and settings on the H2 are accessed and altered by the control buttons and wheels on and around the grip aided visually by the LCD user- interface. The information on the LCD is in menu format and has a great deal in common with those found in modern computers, cell phones, etc.

    ■ Integral ergonomic grip ■ Pixel based LCD user interface The H2 camera body is a robust construction of cast aluminium with a stainless steel shell for extreme durability. The workings of the camera are controlled by silicon technology that provides tre- mendous opportunities for sophisticated operation.
  • Page 23: Rechargeable Bat Ter Y Grip

    Batteries The H2 requires batteries for all actions. There is no mechanical reserve facility so it is advisable to always have a spare set of bat- teries or exchange set if using a rechargeable battery pack. As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered when used in very low temperatures.
  • Page 24: The Battery Charger

    The battery charger The battery charger unit is supplied with five 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 (fig 2, A) by sliding into position, ensur- ing that the two electrical contact prongs on the charger correctly enter the two contact sockets on the plug attachment.
  • Page 25: Rechargeable Battery Grip - Precautions

    Keep the protective cover in place when not in use. (Short-circuiting across keys in a pocket, for example, could cause a fire risk). • Do not use the battery grip for anything other than the H1/H2 camera. • Do not immerse the battery grip in liquids.

    Film loading The film magazine can be loaded either on or off the camera. Regularly check the interior of the magazine and remove dust, particles or any scraps of paper from previous rolls of film. Load and unload film magazines away from direct light sources. 1) Fold out the film holder key and turn it counter-clockwise 90°.
  • Page 40: Digital Photography

    HC lenses were also formulated to meet the very high de- mands made by digital sensors, which they do with ease. H system cameras are suited for both Hasselblad and third- party digital backs, with Hasselblad digital backs producing the optimum in convenience and capabilities.
  • Page 41 The H2 grip LCD is pixel based to take advantage of interpreting sig- nals from a digital back, resulting in digital display on the camera and not just on the back or host computer screen. A histogram can be displayed for immediate checking, for example.
  • Page 42: Instant Approval Architecture

    Instant Approval Architecture As an integral part of Hasselblad’s digital solutions the H2 is front- ing 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 im- ages to present to the client.
  • Page 43 CFH units, it nevertheless will still provide tremendous quality and ease of use. As a medium format digital platform for any digital back, the H2 is second to none in the world today. It is still a requirement for 3rd party product manufacturers to work under a Hasselblad license agreement to get access to the Hasselblad patented hot-plug interface of the H System.
  • Page 44: Exposure Control

    Light Metering & Exposure Control ■ Three metering methods ■ Five exposure methods ■ Extremely accurate light metering The light metering system is capable of selective sensitiv- ity producing three reflective metering methods: Average, Centre weighted and Spot. All methods are measured in in- crements of 1/12 EV.
  • Page 45: Metering Method

    If you are not sure about choice, please check in other general photographic literature for a fuller explanation. Also check our website occasionally – www.hasselblad.com – for articles and discussions concerning such matters.
  • Page 46: E Xposure Method

    Selecting metering method Proceed as follows with the camera in active mode: 1. Press the EXP button on the viewfinder. 2. Turn the rear control wheel (in either direction 2a) to succes- sively access the three choices: Average, Centre Weighted, and Spot 2b.
  • Page 47 A ‘+ 0.3’ above the scale in the display, as in illustration 4 for ex- ample, would indicate a ‘0.3 EV overexposure’ setting. Conversely, a ‘-2’ , for example, would indicate a ‘2EV underexposure’ set- ting. Note that the appearance of a +/- symbol on the grip and viewfinder LCDs in manual mode means that a change has been made to the exposure compensation setting.
  • Page 48: Ae-L Button

    New metered area is 1.8 EV lower than the area metered when the AE-L button was pressed. AE-L button pressed to call the metered area ‘Zone 5’. Metered area reads ‘Zone 8’. Metered area beyond film range. AE- L button This button has two main functions that can be incorporated in various working methods involving exposure locking.
  • Page 49: E Xposure Compensation

    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 classified 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 control wheel until zone 6 appears.

    Continuous At Continuous setting (AF C), the shutter can be released rapidly before the lens is focused in order to capture a split-second shot (in Single Shot, an exposure cannot be made until the camera has had time to focus). However, the camera will continue to focus if a moving subject is within the focusing zone or if you recompose, even though the shutter release button is half pressed.
