Description
The H6D-400c MS inherits all the features and functionality of our standard single shot cameras plus adds the ability to shoot in 4-shot or 6-shot mode for the best image quality and resolution.
1-SHOT 400%
4-SHOT 400%
6-SHOT 200%
HOW MULTI-SHOT TECHNOLOGY WORKS
- Multi-Shot technology involves moving the sensor very accurately by 1 or 1?2 a pixel at a time with a precision piezo actuator, enabling the camera to capture more colour information and data than in a single-shot capture. The captured images are then merged in Phocus, Hasselblads dedicated desktop software solution, to produce a single finished file with staggering amounts of detail and colour information. Multi-Shot capture does require tethering to a host computer, static subject, and a controlled studio environment.
- In traditional single-shot imaging, each pixel receives one level of colour information (Red, Green, or Blue) based on the Bayer Pattern Filter. While this can produce high quality results, Multi-Shot capture adds a new dimension of image detail and colour possibilities.
4-SHOT MULTI-SHOT MODE
When shooting in 4-shot Multi-shot mode, four captures are made. The 4 captures involve moving the sensor by one pixel at a time to achieve real colour data (GRGB). The cycle moves the sensor 1 pixel horizontally, then 1 pixel vertically, then 1 pixel horizontally and finally 1 pixel vertically. This cycle returns the sensor to its starting point (see 4-shot image above).
This mode captures real RGB data for each pixel but the final output is a 100MP image size. The benefits are accurate colour data for each pixel and no moir© interference while keeping the resolution to 100MP. The 4 shot Multi-Shot capture delivers a 16-bit Tiff file size of 579MB per frame (11600 x 8700 pixels).
6-SHOT MULTI-SHOT MODE
In 400MP Multi-Shot mode, 6 captures are made. The first 4 captures involve moving the sensor by one pixel at a time to achieve real colour data (GRGB- see 4 shot diagram below). This cycle returns the sensor to its starting point. An additional two exposures are made by moving the sensor by ½ a pixel horizontally and then ½ a pixel vertically (see 6 shot diagram).
These 6 captures are then combined to give the equivalent of a single 400MP capture, delivering a 16-bit Tiff file size of 2.4GB per frame (23200 x 17400 pixels), giving the ultimate in image resolution.
