Next, let's take a look at the real picture quality level of Hasselblad CFV 100C.

The screenshot area is 100% enlarged

Today, many cameras and mobile phones can reach 100 million pixels, but the Hasselblad CFV 100C digital back we experience today has brought a more solid analytical performance. As can be seen from the sample film we have shown above, even though it occupies a small part of the original photo, after 100% magnification, we can still see very rich details. In addition, even after 100% magnification, every detail has a very good sharpness performance, which shows that its image quality performance is very solid and can meet the strict requirements of professional users for imaging.

In terms of image quality, we took high sensitivity samples of Hasselblad CFV 100C digital back, from ISO 800 to ISO 6400, which is also the normal high sensitivity use range that users may use this camera to take. It can be seen that even if ISO 6400 is used, the noise control level of Hasselblad CFV 100C is still excellent. For a medium frame camera, the image noise performance is normal, and it hardly affects our normal viewing. Since there is no anti shake design for the fuselage, if you take a handheld shot in a weak light environment, you can rest assured that you can use high ISO to improve the success rate of shooting. After all, photos with 100 million pixels will be magnified even if they are slightly shaken.

In terms of tolerance, the Hasselblad CFV 100C digital back also performs very well. After all, it has 15 levels of dynamic range performance. By comparing the samples above, we can see that in the actual shooting environment, especially in the high light ratio environment and backlight environment, in order to ensure the correct exposure of highlight areas, dark details are almost completely lost in the original image. After post adjustment, the dark details of RAW files can be easily restored. To describe it in the photographer's terms, the RAW files of Hasu CFV 100C can be pulled at will. Moreover, after the repair of dark details, not only did not add obvious additional noise, but also there would be no color deviation problem. The restored details also have excellent ornamental properties.

Color: HNCS Hasu Natural Color Solution

Hasu CFV 100C still has the unique HNCS Hasu natural color solution It can make the color performance more natural and accurate without color bias, and the transition from highlight to shadow is more natural. For photographers, HNCS Hasu natural color solution can not only make the original photos have better color performance, but also have larger color gamut space and greater flexibility in the later stage.

If it is necessary to adjust the photos with HNCS Hasu natural color solution in the later stage, it is recommended to use Hasu's own post software Phocus, which can restore the photos to the color consistent with our real viewing scene to the maximum extent, and at the same time, the skin color of the characters is more realistic and delicate. It should be noted here that both RAW format and straight out JPG format support HNCS Hasu natural color solution.

In addition, Hasu's own post software Phocus not only has great convenience for color restoration, but also better matches the RAW file of Hasu's camera in the whole post process. Hasu CFV 100C itself has a large space in the later period, and can be adjusted freely in Phocus software, bringing users a very comfortable experience in the later period.

Focus: focus speed increased by 300%

In terms of focusing, the combination of Hassel907X and CFV 100C has brought a very significant improvement compared with the previous generation of products. Hasu 907X and CFV 100C adopt the design of PDAF phase detection auto focus system, with 294 phase focus points, covering 97% of the focus area, and 300% faster than the previous generation product portfolio. At the same time, face recognition focusing technology is newly added to make it easier to shoot portrait subjects. Next, we will show you the actual focusing performance of Hassel907X and CFV 100C.

I experienced Hasu for some time last year 907X and CFV II 50C. The biggest problem of this combined product in shooting experience is the focusing system. The new combination of Hassel907X and CFV 100C has significantly improved the focusing system. Not only has the focus speed increased significantly, but it can indeed achieve the 300% increase in focus speed claimed by the official website. Now when we focus on objects with similar colors and small objects, the phenomenon of the bellows has been greatly improved, and the experience of the focusing system has been very close to the level of high-end full frame cameras in the current market. Of course, the improvement of focusing experience is also related to the new lens XCD 2,5/38V that we used in the test.

In addition to the improvement of focusing speed and accuracy, the combination of Hasu 907X and CFV 100C is also equipped with face recognition focusing, which is the same as the Hasu X2D 100C camera. Through our demonstration, you can clearly understand the performance of Hasu 907X and CFV 100C in face recognition. With face recognition focusing, we can take portraits more easily, especially when people often switch positions and angles. Focusing does not need manual operation, and experience is improved significantly.

In terms of tolerance, Hasselblad CFV 100C performs very well. The 16bit RAW file can be described as randomly pulled at a later stage. After the dark details are repaired, there is almost no obvious noise increase. For professional photography, the advantages of this aspect are crucial, which can make the photographer more leisurely in the environment with more big lights.

4、 HNCS Hasselblad Natural Color Solution. After being processed by Hasu's own Phocus software, the photos we took do have true color performance that is very close to the naked eye.
