Multi-shot
The H3D II multi-shot capability is available with the H3D II-39MS
product. Multi-shot provides a capture mode where four separate
images are saved that are captures of the same object with the
sensor offset by one pixel between the shots. The resulting image
shows ultimate color definition and eliminates unwanted moiré
and artefacts in studio type stills photography.
To make a multi-shot capture, you must work tethered to the
computer and have the Hasselblad software FlexColor or Phocus
running. From the capture menu simply choose the capture type
“multi-shot”. Multi-shot images are saved as 3F raw files directly
into the capture destination folder of FlexColor or Phocus. Please
see the FlexColor/Phocus user manuals for full intructions.
The technology behind the multi-shot is high precision piezo controlled
movements of the sensor in pixel sized increments. Four
separate shots are taken in succession (one for each color, but with
green captured twice for extra sharpness) that are then combined
into a single, high-resolution image. Images taken in multi-shot
mode will be sharper and contain more detail than single-shot
images. Multi-shot images will also stand up to greater enlargement
later in production.
In use, it is essential to ensure that there is no movement in either
the camera or the subject. Because of this, these methods are
only suitable for tripod/camera stand use for studio-like environments,
technical shots, product shots, architectural subjects and
similar.
