1.1 INTRODUCTION
The all-new HASSELBLADTM CFV 100C medium format digital back can be used on most V
System cameras from 1957 and later, such as Hasselblad 500 series, 200 series, and SWC, to
reintroduce classics and provide creative possibilities.
The CFV 100C digital back and 907X camera body form a medium format digital camera.
With the compact design and a large 100-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS
sensor, the camera boasts 16-bit colour depth and a dynamic range of 15 stops. Hasselblad
Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) technology is integrated into the camera’s system,
delivering superb, true-to-life colours that match what the human eye sees. A vast range of
high-quality lenses including XCD, HC, HCD, XPan, and V System are supported. [1]

1.2 FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Powerful Compatibility
907X Camera Body
When using the CFV 100C with the 907X camera body, all XCD System lenses are
supported. All HC/HCD, XPan, and V System lenses can be used with the corresponding lens
adaptor.

• Only certain functions of the camera are available when using an H System lens.
• Only electronic shutter mode is available when using a V System lens or XPan System lens
with the 907X camera body.

Hasselblad V System Film Cameras

The CFV 100C supports integration with the Hasselblad V System’s 500 Series, 200 Series,
and other classic film cameras. This integration allows these film camera bodies to capture
digital imagery.

Technical Cameras
The CFV 100C can be paired with technical cameras to capture images of elevated
precision.

• When the CFV 100C is used with V System cameras and technical cameras, it only
supports manual focus.
[1] Relevant system adaptor is required to use HC, HCD, XPan, and V System lenses.

CFV 100C User Manual CONTENTS

100-Megapixel Medium Format BSI CMOS Sensor

Utilising a 100-megapixel medium format BSI CMOS sensor with a native ISO of 64, the
CFV 100C captures life in vivid colour and exquisite detail. Over 281 trillion colours are
represented with the 16-bit colour depth. This immense dimension of colour paired with 15
stops of dynamic range allows the CFV 100C to capture the subtle intricacies of highlights
and shadows as they are seen in the natural world.

HNCS
The HNCS optimises colours to appear as authentically as the eye perceives them. Images
are captured without any preset.

Phase Detection Autofocus

The CFV 100C utilises Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) for fast focusing. 294 PDAF zones
spread over the 100-megapixel sensor surface provide swift and accurate focusing at the
press of a button.

Built-in 1TB SSD

The camera offers ample storage with a built-in 1TB SSD for high-volume and high-speed
storage. Additional space can be added using the CFexpress Type B card slot.

Tilting Touch Display

The 3.2-inch touch display presents a clear image even under intense light and tilts to
gradual angles for diverse shooting needs. It supports a resolution of 2.36 million dots,
bringing accurate, true-to-life colours to view. The Hasselblad User Interface (HUI) is neat
and optimised. Featuring intuitive touch control, simply slide and tap to access the most
used operations.

Phocus Mobile 2 and Phocus

The built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows users to create a portable photography workflow with
wireless shooting and export and edit images using Phocus Mobile 2 [1] on an iPhone or
iPad. Full tethered operations include high-speed tethered shooting, and real-time RAW
image processing is available using the Mac or Windows version of the Phocus software. [1]
Both the Phocus Mobile 2 app and Phocus software use HNCS to deliver correct colours.

[1] Phocus Mobile 2 is compatible with iPad models and iPhone Xs or above with more than
3GB of RAM running on iOS 15.0 or later. Phocus is compatible with computers with 8GB
of RAM or more running on macOS 10.15 or later, or Windows 7 64-bit or later. Visit the
official Hasselblad website for more information.

Centre Weighted: Used for light situations where there is no particular

dominance of light or dark areas across the tonal range. This takes into
account approximately 25% of the image seen in Live View.
Spot: The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately 2.5% of the image area
(the central spot in Live View). Any parts of the image outside of this area will
not affect the exposure reading. This provides a very accurate measurement of
specific tones. Also suitable for tonal comparison measurements. Spot area is
marked in Live View and will follow any movement of the focus point.
Centre Spot: Emphasizes the central section of the focusing screen equivalent
to approximately 25% of the image. This provides a balanced assessment and
is a typical choice where the main subject is in the centre of the image.

Manual Exposure

Manual Exposure mode provides total control of the shutter and aperture settings. Users
can manually determine the aperture and shutter speed. When using with the 907X camera
body, set the aperture using the control dial on the camera body.

In Manual Exposure Mode, the exposure scale is displayed in Live View.

The standard exposure setting is obtained when the value displayed over the exposure
scale is 0.0 and positioned above the central index.
The value appearing elsewhere than above the central index indicates the deviation from
the standard exposure.

As shown in the figure, a “+ 0.7” above the scale in the display (A) indicates a “0.7
EV overexposure” setting. Conversely, a “-2”, for example, would indicate a “2 EV
underexposure” setting. In Manual Exposure Mode, the aperture settings (B) and shutter
speed (C) are conventionally indicated to the right of the exposure scale.

Focus Bracketing
Focus bracketing can be used for different purposes. The most obvious is to achieve a larger
depth-of-field by stacking images with different focus positions together in post-production.
Users can also use it to pick the best image from a batch.
In Focus Bracketing mode, the camera will automatically take a preset number of images by
calculating the focus shift between each image by using the preset step size. The images will
be stored as separate files and users can edit them manually or use a third-party software
(e.g., Helicon Focus) to merge them together into a final stacked image.
It is recommended to perform a test before actual capture to achieve optimal results.

Step Size
For high-quality work, users should normally select Small or Medium step size. For less
critical work, users can also use Large or Extra Large. Large or Extra Large can also be used
in certain situations when the type of subject allows.
To find what works best for your situation, it is recommended to perform multiple tests.

The step size is related to the depth of field (DoF) produced by the camera at a given
aperture. This means that the actual focus shift in the subject will be larger with a higher
aperture number. For example, f/4 will give a smaller step than f/11. However, before each
exposure, the camera will automatically calculate the actual step size using the current focus
position, focal length of the lens, aperture and pixel dimensions of the sensor.

In the subject, the DoF will grow as the focus point is moved away from the camera. The
distribution of the DoF around the focus point will also be more uneven. The DoF on the far
side of the focus point will grow more than the DoF in front of the focus point.

As the camera will automatically make all the calculations for users, the only thing that
really needs consideration is how many images to make in the sequence. In most cases,
it is recommended to set a number that is too high rather than too low. The camera will
automatically stop when the lens cannot be focused further or closer.

DoF and Step Size Visualized

To the right is a typical subject where focus
bracketing could be used.
With the step size set to Medium, there will
be no unsharp areas between each image.
Please note that DoF is relative and how it is
perceived greatly depends on the viewing
magnification of the final result. The circle
of confusion (CoC) is used to determine the
depth of field, see also https://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/Circle_of_confusion.

Luminance Histogram Exposure

The histogram provides a graph that

indicates the total number of pixels at each
brightness level, with brightness in range
from black on the left to white on the right.
It is a valuable tool for evaluating images.
A well exposed shot usually has a full
range of levels, while underexposed and
overexposed images tend to show levels
concentrated at the left or right part of the
scale.
The histogram is only an indicator that
should be interpreted. There are several Underexposure
situations in which a ‘bad’ histogram will
match an exposure that could be perfect for
the intended effect.
Study the histogram examples and the
explanations below.

Underexposure
Histogram display concentrated on the left
with few pixels elsewhere indicates a likely
underexposure. Many details will be lost in
the shadows. Even exposure

Histogram display spread across the full
range indicates a likely good exposure.
There may still be a few pixels at the

is often normal in a good exposure.

Note the following limitations with electronic shutter:

• The electronic shutter may not capture a subject clearly with fast movements or when
shooting handheld. It is recommended to capture a stationary subject or using a tripod.
• It is recommended to use the mechanical shutter to ensure image quality when ISO 6400

Time T stopped down = T fully open

(Using True Exposure)

T stopped down > T fully open

(Without True Exposure)

True Exposure is an XCD and HC/HCD lens function that allows the shutter speed to remain
unaffected when stopping down. This effect is perhaps not so commonly understood as it is
restricted specifically to integral lens shutters as opposed to focal plane shutters.

When a lens is stopped down, the effective shutter speed becomes longer, consequently
affecting the set exposure. At slow shutter speeds the effect is minimal but at faster speeds,
e.g. 1/500s, the effect becomes clearly visible. Automatic compensatory measures in speed
setting adjustments are employed.
As compensation can only be put into effect where speeds can be adjusted, this prevents
the possibility of adjusting the fastest speed. To counter this, compensatory adjustments
are therefore made to the aperture instead to retain the set exposure. This compensation
is not always required and when using flash/strobe as the main light source it is actually
undesirable because compensation will result in underexposure. Therefore, when using
flash/strobe as the main light source, disable true exposure in Main Menu > Exposure > True
Exposure on the touch display.

CFV 100C User Manual CONTENTS

Shutter Speed Limit

The shutter speed limit can be set either directly or as a function of focal length.

For example, when a 45mm lens is in use and the Shutter Speed Limit setting is 2f, the
shutter speed limit will be 1/90s.

In Auto ISO/P/Full Auto Mode, the shutter speed will be as close to the set value as possible
to ensure the success rate of handheld shooting.
Auto ISO: Sets the slowest shutter speed before ISO will be increased.
P: If the calculated shutter speed is slower than the set value, the aperture value will be
changed instead of shutter speed.
Full Auto: If the calculated shutter speed is slower than the set value, the aperture value will
be changed instead of shutter speed.

• The shutter speed limit can still be exceeded in some cases. For example, if using A Mode
and the maximum ISO limit is already reached and there is not enough light, the shutter
speed limit will be exceed as a last resort to get a proper exposure.

Auto ISO Limits

Main Menu > Exposure > Auto ISO Limits

Set the maximum and minimum ISO values for when Auto ISO is set.
After configuration, when ISO is set to Auto in A, S, or P Exposure Mode, the ISO is set

Exposure Simulation
Main Menu > Exposure > Exposure Simulation

In Live View the display will simulate the final image exposure.
Select A/S/P/Auto or A/S/P/Auto/M to enable the function in the corresponding exposure
mode.

• Exposure Simulation will not display a correct result when using the camera with a flash.
For example, when shooting with a flashlight indoors, normally, Exposure Simulation
displays an image that is too dark in Live View due to weak light conditions. It is
recommended to disable Exposure Simulation in Manual Exposure Mode before shooting
with a flash.
• When autofocus is enabled and is analysing the subject, Exposure Simulation is
deactivated to let the autofocus system operate in optimal conditions. When the
autofocus process is completed, Exposure Simulation is automatically activated again.
• When using Exposure Simulation with the exposure settings set to very high overexposure
or very low underexposure for the actual light conditions, Live View will display a very light
or very dark image. In extreme cases, it results in a completely overexposed white image
or a completely underexposed black image. In these cases, check the exposure scale
on the bottom left in Live View while adjusting the exposure settings to maintain desired
exposure.

4.3 PHOCUS SOFTWARE

Connecting to Computer

Connect the USB-C port on the camera to a computer using a USB-C cable of USB 2.0 or
above. Users can control the camera remotely in Phocus, such as aperture adjustment or
exposure time control.
Phocus is compatible with computers with 8GB of RAM or more running on macOS 10.15 or
later, or Windows 7 64-bit or later.

When initiating a shot from Phocus, the computer sends a signal to the camera to trigger
the shutter and the flash if it is in use. The camera sends the image over the USB connection
to the computer, where it is displayed. The image is saved as a 16-bit 3F file in the currently
selected folder on the computer hard disk for post-processing, such as colour and exposure
adjustment.

Visit the official Hasselblad website for more information.

https://www.hasselblad.com/phocus

When connected to a computer, the following applies:

• After connecting to the computer, make sure to tap Skip in the pop-up dialogue on the
camera touch display to use tethered shooting.
• The destination medium and location are controlled by the Phocus software. The images
cannot be saved to the camera.
• All exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, are controlled from the
Phocus software if users choose to expose from Phocus.

129
CFV 100C User Manual CONTENTS

Professional Image Quality

Phocus combines Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) with Digital Auto-Correction
(DAC) to provide high digital image quality for the images users create. With Phocus, the
moiré effect that can occur on extremely high-resolution images is effectively removed
automatically and directly on the raw data, leaving the image quality intact and saving time
in post-production.

Phocus and Hasselblad Capture Files

The digital back can capture files and store them as Hasselblad RAW format files.
Hasselblad RAW files are initially stored in the 3FR format, which is a proprietary Hasselblad
format for the temporary storage of images. A 3FR file contains the complete digitised
raw image exactly. 3FR information requires further computing power (typically by way
of Phocus) to obtain complete development. If developed in Phocus, 3FR files become
Hasselblad 3F files with the suffix “.fff”. If developed by other RAW processors, the 3FR
files will not be converted to 3F but can be exported directly to TIFF and PSD according to
requirements.

It is important to understand that although two images that were made using the same EV value
but with different combinations of aperture and shutter speed will have the same exposure but
will not be identical due to different depth-of-field and movement stopping time.

As the EV value is related to the lighting conditions, it can in many cases be an easy way to
quickly set the correct exposure. As a start users can use the following guidelines.

Scene EV Value @ISO 100
