Hasselblad H5D-50c Camera Body with Wi-Fi True Focus & Absolute Position Lock True Focus helps solve one of the most lingering challenges that faces serious photographers today: true, accurate focusing through
- out the image field. Without multi-point auto-focus a typical auto
- focus camera can only correctly measure focus on a subject that is in the center of the image. When a photographer wants to focus on a subject outside the center area, they have to lock focus on the subject & then re-compose the image. In short distances especially, this re-composing causes focus error, as the plane of focus sharpness follows the camera’s movement, perpendicular to the axis of the lens. The traditional solution for most DSLR cameras has been to equip the camera with a multi-point AF sensor. These sensors allow the photographer to fix an off-center focus point on an off-center subject, which is then focused correctly. Such multi-point AF solutions are often tedious & inflexible to work with. Due to the physics of an SLR-camera, the off-center focus points that are offered are all clustered relatively close to the center of the image. To set focus outside of this center area, the photographer is still forced to focus first, & then shift the camera to reframe, with the resulting loss of focus as a result. To overcome this problem, Hasselblad has used modern yaw rate sensor technology to measure angular velocity in an innovative way. The result is the new Absolute Position Lock (APL) processor, which forms the foundation of Hasselblad’s True Focus feature. The APL processor accurately logs camera movement during any re-composing, then uses these exact measurements to calculate the necessary focus adjustment, & issues the proper commands to the lens’s focus motor so it can compensate. The APL processor computes the advanced positional algorithms & carries out the required focus corrections at such rapid speed that no shutter lag occurs. The H5D’s firmware then further perfects the focus using the precise data retrieval system found on all H System lenses.
