H4D with GIL Global Image 
Locator accessory.

Digital Lens Correction and Ultra-Focus for image perfection

the H4d-50 camera allows information from the lens and exact 
capture conditions to be fed to the camera processor for ultra-
fine-tuning of the auto-focus mechanism, taking into account the 
design specifications of the lens and the optical specifications of 
the sensor. in this way the full HC/HCd lens program is even further 
enhanced, bringing a new level of sharpness and resolution. digital 
correction for color aberration and distortion is also added. “digital 
lens Correction” (daC), is an automatic correction of the images 
based on a combination of the various parameters concerning each 
specific lens for each specific shot, ensuring that each image repre-
sents the best that your equipment can produce.

Accessories including GPS Recording Flexibility

Hasselblad’s global image locator (gil) is an accessory for use 
with any Hasselblad H-System digital capture product. With the gil 
device, all images captured outdoors are tagged with gPS coordi-
nates, time and altittude. this data provides the key to a number 
of future applications involving image archiving and retrieval. One 
example is the direct mapping of images in Phocus software to 
the google Earth application. Check out full list of accessories at:

Phocus for professional level workflow

Phocus provides an advanced software toolbox that has been espe-
cially designed to easily achieve optimum workflow and absolute 
image perfection from Hasselblad raw image files.
With the H4d-50 camera system Phocus provides:
•  Uncompromising image Quality
•  Special extended camera controls with which to operate your 

H4d-50 camera. these features, such as live video for easier 
shot set-up and workflow, or the ability to control the lens drive 
for focusing when the camera is in a remote position or when 
the digital capture unit is mounted on a view camera, bring an 
entirely new level of flexibility to the way you shoot.

•  Moiré Removal technology automatically applied directly on the 

raw data, leaving image quality intact and eliminating the need 
to carry out special masking selections or other manual proce-
dures, saving hours of tedious post-production work.

•  Flexible Workflow. the Phocus gUi features easy-to-use options 

that allow you to customize your set-up to suit a range of dif-
ferent workflow situations, such as choice of import source, 
browsing/comparison functions, file management, image export 
in a number of file formats, pre-setting of options for upcoming 
shoots, and much, much more.

•  New Metadata (gPS, etc). the extended metadata included in 

all Phocus images provides for accurate and detailed catalogu-
ing and indexing, easy image management, and includes added 
gPS data functionality in order to allow a range of new func-
tions. Phocus links gPS data directly to google Earth, for exam-
ple, making geographic reference a snap and image storage 
and retrieval much easier.

•  100% Viewing Quality. the Phocus Viewer delivers image view-

ing quality that matches every detail of what you will see later 
in Photoshop. in addition, the Phocus Viewer allows you to cus-
tomize layout and composition to suit your current or desired 
workflow, providing a wide range of options including full view, 
compare, browse, horizontal, or vertical view, and so on. You 
can have multiple folders open simultaneously for side-by-side 
viewing, comparison, and selection.
