It took close to 20 hours on my reasonably fast PC to decompress 930GB of. Beware that Phocus is very slow to decompress the files. You can name these sequences, or just output to the same name as the original compressed files. 3FV files into a flavor of ProRes or a cinema DNG sequence using Hasselblad’s Phocus software. Once you have shot something, you need to decompress the. Seriously don’t try and shoot handheld with anything over 24mm, especially if you are a heavy coffee drinker like me… As a result, prepare for noticeable rolling shutter effect, something I was ready for thanks to Christoph’s original review. I can’t seem to verify if it is using a method such as pixel binning, but nonetheless, this is quite amazing as it is converting that lovely medium-format look from the 12K sensor to 4K compressed raw video on the fly.
The whole width of the sensor is being used, with the tops and bottoms cut off to create 16:9 aspect video. The 256GB CFAST2.0 cards I used held around 20 minutes worth of data.

This only served to fuel my interest, eventually leading me to chat with an old colleague that had recently started working at Hasselblad here in Japan. But, to my surprise, after scowering the internet for days there wasn’t really much in the way of other detailed reviews or footage. The images had something special about them to my eye and I wanted to know more. I’m sure I’m not the only one who took a peak at Christoph Tilley’s write-up about medium-format video on the H6D-100C last year. Intrigued? Read on for his hands-on impressions. In this guest review, Osaka-based filmmaker Matthew Carmody takes a close look at the Hasselblad H6D-100c – a 100MP, 4K Raw-capable medium format camera.
