Just a heads up to let you know that Hasselblad have posted firmware updates on their site (under downloads) for H series cameras and H3Ds. The firmware update include support for the HTS, new zoom, DC power grip and give a stop more sensitivity taking the H3D31 to 1600 ISO and the 39 to 800.

That's great, for Mac users. For Windows, you need to have a new version of Phocus that is not yet available

Phocus 1.02 for PC is in beta now so shouldn't be too far off.

How about ISO800 for the CF39? Is that included in this package?

Hi Nick,

this is great news! Could you by any chance advice me whether there is a recommended order in which I should install the updates (Body / Back)?

Best

The readmes don't explicitly say but I would expect that the CF39 would be included.

Thx!

I will give it a go tomorrow. Now I want to get some sleep.

Why dont they state that on their website? I mean if you look there is no mention of this feature in the latest version of Phocus.

There seems to be something wrong with the combined H-Series body update. I cannot unzip any .cim file.
Phocus doesn't accept the 081222.hbf file and gives out an error ... something about wrong firmware and
using Flexcolor ... In the readme .cim files are specifically mentioned and therefore I think something went wrong
while preparing the file. The update of the back with the other R248.zip file went fine and I could shot with 1600 ISO (H3DII-31).

I realize that initially i was at the hasselbladusa site, which did not give me the new firmware download. Once I found the correct place, I did the following and got the exact same error as you did.
However, if you look at what is updated, the R248 update looks like it contains the same information as the the other hbf file but in addition the iso update as well. So perhaps you do not need both?

But my camera shows firmware 2.0.1/R248 not 2.1.0 for the body as described in the readme. All seems to work fine though. Does your camera show 2.1.0 for the body?

Robert Moore · « **Reply #11 on:** February 24, 2009, 08:16:16 am »

I believe that both firmware updates are indeed needed. CIM for the back and hbf for the body update. I was unable to get the combined
update to work with either Phocus or Flexcolor both most current versions...although in the readme the hbf update mentions a prior version of
Phocus for the Mac 1.10. I have not downgraded to that version to attempt the upgrade as I assume they mean 1.10 and newer.

My back shows new Iso settings but my body is not upgraded with the CIM version so I assume we need a corrected hbf version.

you need the new phocus release 1.13 which is available on the hasselblad-site now (still with 1.12 you get an error)
with H3DII-50 it worked properly

Thank you very much for the hint ... that worked! Camera successfully updated to 2.1.0/R248.

Dustbak · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2009, 11:43:47 am »

Damn!

It doesn't do anything with a CF39 back. I get no ISO800. The firmware installed on both my H2F as well as the CF39 back but I remain at ISO400 max Anyone else with a CF39 that sees the same thing?

David, does this FW update not cover CF line backs?

jimgolden · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:43:19 pm »

oh and look at this - The ISO 800 for the H3D-22 - it's not there! - WOW, thats really grand I'm so glad I was promised that a year ago when I bought my H3. The ISO bump was promised for everything back to Imacon backs...really disappointing. Considering that my investment is worth essentially nothing now (no trade in programs anymore), this would be the icing on the cake

Please say it aint so...
