IBIS - Absolutely Sharp Shooting

The X2D 100C features 5-axis 7-stop In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) to capture razor-sharp handheld shots. To better control the size and weight of the X2D 100C, Hasselblad built the most compact medium format IBIS solution on the market today,[3] meeting the stringent stabilization requirements of a 100 MP medium format sensor while ensuring a lightweight and manageable camera.

The genesis of Hasselblad
unique IBIS system The 100 MP medium format sensor not only provides detail, but also strict requirements for stabilization in the body. To maximize stabilization while minimizing size and weight, Hasselblad had to develop its own special stabilization solution.

Compact stabilization

It was a challenging task to add stabilization while ensuring that the camera remained lightweight and manageable

.

After hundreds of trials and iterations, Hasselblad engineers succeeded in developing an extremely small voice coil motor. Hall sensors were placed inside the motor to further reduce the size of the system. This design made the front of the IBIS system approximately 30%[3] smaller than comparable products and the new IBIS system, now fits within the compact camera body of the X2D 100C.

Precise and efficient stabilization

Control and accuracy were of paramount importance to the development team

.

To achieve a razor-sharp 100 MP resolution, Hasselblad engineers performed a combined error diagnosis of the image sensor and stabilization. After more than six months of effort, the X2D 100C IBIS system achieved pixel-level calibration that meets the highest Hasselblad standards. Camera movements as small as 0.1 pixel can be detected and compensated for, and

order to use the X2D 100C in various handheld situations, stabilization uses a high-precision gyroscope and accelerometer, allowing posture changes as small as 0.005 degrees to be detected. Extensive data on subtle hand movements during hand-held shooting was collected from different age groups and analyzed to accurately calibrate the IBIS system for real-world scenarios. To eliminate the influence of temperature variations, Hasselblad engineers optimized a dual Hall sensor design to achieve consistent recording over a wide range of operating temperatures.[4]

The X2D 100C's precise and efficient 5-axis, 7-aperture IBIS system allows handheld 100 MP images to be captured with confidence, taking advantage of the immense detail of medium format for creative processes.

Reliable Large Built-in Memory

High-quality images require a lot of memory

.

A first for medium format cameras,[3] the X2D 100C features a built-in 1 TB SSD with write speeds up to 2,370 MB/s,5 and read speeds up to 2,850 MB/s.[5] Although ample storage is built-in, additional storage can be added via the CFexpress Type B card slot. Thanks to this high-speed memory, the X2D 100C is able to continuously and reliably capture 16-bit RAW images in continuous shooting mode.

Highlights:

• 1 TB Built-in SSD
• 7.9x Faster Write Speed than an SD Card

Every Display Stands Out

The 3.6″ touch display shows a clear image even in strong light and can be tilted at graduated angles for different shooting needs. It supports a resolution of 2.36 million pixels for accurate, lifelike colors

A whole new experience

The X2D 100C offers faster response times, ensuring significant moments are captured quickly

.

• 65% Faster Shutter Speed[7]
• 70% Shorter Frame Intervals[7]

The Hasselblad user interface (HUI) is clear and optimized for efficiency. With intuitive touch controls, you can access the most frequently used functions with simple inputs. The X2D 100C is designed to facilitate a smooth creative creation process.

Handcrafted Elegance

The X2D 100C's body is made from a solid block of aluminum alloy that has been crafted into a pleasing shape. The X2D 100C is firmly rooted in the Scandinavian design of the X System while setting itself apart with a new dark gray hue. This new color reflects the transition of light and shadow, subtle combinations that the X2D 100C captures so masterfully.

Fast transfer for instant sharing

The X2D 100C also features a 2nd generation USB-C 3.1 port that supports transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps

.

And a fast Wifi connection at 2.4/5 GHz, [8] enables speedy and stable transfer with less interference.
One can connect the X2D 100C to an iPad or iPhone via Wi-Fi to transfer full-size JPG/RAW images using Phocus Mobile 2.9 This enables editing and output of high-quality RAW images that take full advantage of the capabilities of HNCS and allows effortless creation and sharing of masterpieces outside the studio.
