A modular platform for both film and digital capture, the Hasselblad H6X is a medium format SLR camera body designed for use with HC/HCD lenses, as well as a variety of dedicated interchangeable viewfinders and compatible backs. Its H-system back interface permits working with a wide range of digital backs as well as the H 16-32 film magazine to suit a versatile and changing workflow. Beneficial to fast-paced shooting in an accurate manner, the H6X also utilizes a single central autofocus point in conjunction with True Focus and Absolute Position Lock technologies to maintain focusing precision while using a focus-then-recompose method of shooting. Also enhancing usability, eight shooting profiles are available for quickly changing combinations of settings, and seven of the profiles are fully customizable to suit your own personal shooting needs. Additionally, designed with the professional photographer in mind, the H6X sports a durable stainless steel and aluminum alloy body construction, and uses a convenient lithium-ion battery grip to both power the camera as well as provide a comfortable means for handling the camera.
Included with the camera body is the HV 90X-II viewfinder, which serves as a bright, clear viewing means intended for use with larger sensor sizes, such as those in the 60MP and 100MP H5 and H6-series backs, and film. The finder is a 2.7x magnification, 90° reflex type offering full 100% frame coverage as well as -4 to +2.5 dioptric adjustment to suit eyeglass wearers. Additionally, it incorporates a top hot shoe for on-camera external flashes, and also has a built-in pop-up flash and internal dot matrix LCD for shooting settings review.
