Phocus software for the professional
Phocus provides an advanced software toolbox that has been especially
designed to achieve optimum workflow and absolute image perfection
from Hasselblad raw image files.
With the H3DII-39 camera system Phocus provides:
• Uncompromising Image Quality
• Special extended camera controls with which to operate your H3DII-39
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 procedures, 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 different 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 cataloguing and
indexing, easy image management, and includes added GPS data
functionality in order to allow a range of new functions. Phocus links
GPS data directly to Google Earth, for example, making geographic
reference a snap and image storage and retrieval much easier.
• Perfect Viewing Quality. The Phocus Viewer delivers image viewing
quality that matches every detail of what you will see later in
Photoshop.
In addition, the Phocus Viewer allows you to customize layout and com-
position 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.
Ultra-Focus and Digital Auto Correction for image perfection
the H3dii-39 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 lens program is even further enhanced, bringing a
new level of sharpness and resolution. Digital correction for color aber-
ration and distortion is also added. “Digital Auto Correction” (DAC), is
an APO-chromatic correction of the images based on a combination
of the various parameters concerning each specific lens for each spe-
cific shot, ensuring that each image represents the best that your
equipment can produce. Based upon these techniques, Hasselblad
has been able to expand our lens program with a 28mm lens that has
been especially developed for the H3DII product family. The design
of this lens has been optimized for the actual 36x48mm area of the
sensor to make it more compact and to work in conjunction with DAC.
this is a critical part of the technology behind capturing perfect images
with this extraordinary lens. the result is clear: daC increases image
resolution and delivers perfect pixels, thereby providing an ideal basis
for optimal image rendering.
