What is it ?

The HTS 1.5 is an accessory for H-system cameras that greatly

expands their usability both technically and creatively. It works

by allowing a lens to be moved in two different ways to meet

some challenges typically found in professional photography. It

is compact, simple to use and can prove to be an invaluable aid

in certain situations.

The HTS 1.5 adapter is mounted between the lens and the cam-

era body and, by way of the databus connections, automatically

conveys data to ensure the optimum in convenience and accu-

racy of exposure. This information is nally stored as metadata

with each le that can then be accessed in Phocus.

And it is in Phocus that DAC corrections automatically take into

account all tilt, shift and rotational movements as well as a

long list of specic lens data. This ability, unique to Hasselblad,

ensures the exceptional quality produced by the HTS 1.5.

What does it do?

The HTS 1.5 primarily solves problems but equally well pro-

motes creative opportunities to provide the photographer with

an almost invaluable tool.

Problem solving would be most obviously benecial in architec-

tural work, close-up product photography and certain kinds of

documentation, for example.

Creative opportunities would cover almost any area of photog-

raphy where a fresher approach is required regarding selective

focus and/or perspective manipulation.

How does it work?

It exploits established optical principles familiar to view camera us-

ers, namely ‘tilt’ and ‘shift’. These capabilities are further exploit-

ed by being able to rotate the whole unit. Only basic explanations

are included here as In- depth technical descriptions are beyond

the scope of this manual. A search on the Internet under headings

such as ‘camera movements’ and ‘Scheimpug Principle’, for

example, can provide much more insight into the concepts.

To be able to allow such movements using a lens from the stan-

dard range, an optical converter that increases lens coverage is

integrated into the design. In this way the adapter expands the

use of a number of lenses that many users already have thereby

avoiding the need for dedicated lenses.

Very simply put, tilting the lens moves the orientation of the

plane of sharp focus while shifting the lens moves the projected

image circle inside the camera.

What problems does it solve?

There are basically two areas that can be helped by tilt and

shift:

· Tilt is used when you want to change the orientation of the

plane of sharp focus.

· Shift is used to change the area selected for coverage of a

scene while retaining parallel lines in the image. It can also

used to create panoramas when used horizontally.

Although tilt is typically used in close -up product or landscape

photography and shift is typically used in architectural applica-

tions, it would be wrong to highlight these areas too much.

There are many situations where some tilt or some shift or

both would go a long way in producing a competitive edge on an

otherwise normal shot.

How is it creative?

The actions that produce practical solutions to problems create

effects that can also be classied as creative, dependent on

the intention. For example, it might be said that “stitching” (the

digital combining of several images) creatively exploits the ‘cor-

rect’ use of movements while selective de -focusing creatively

exploits the ‘incorrect’ use.

Hasselblad HTS 1.5 – Introduction

Compatibility

The HTS 1.5 was specically designed for use with the HCD

4/28mm and HC 2.8/80mm lenses, and these should be seen

as the primary choice for maximum performance. However, the

HC 3.5/35mm, HC 3.5/50mm and HC 2.2/100mm lenses can

also be used with excellent results. The 13mm, 26mm and

52 mm extension tubes are also compatible with all of these

lenses. The HC 3.2/150, HC 4/210 and HC 4.5/300 can also

be used but handling and performance are compromised and

are therefore not recommended for critical work.

Please note that the HTS 1.5 is not compatible with the

H1.7x converter, CF lens adapter, HC 3.5-4/50 -110mm, HCD

4-5.6/35-90mm, or the HC 4/120mm Macro.

The autofocus and focus conrmation features on the camera

are also automatically de -activated for all lenses.

Tilt

Tilt changes the orientation of the

plane of sharp focus. This creates

the appearance of an ‘increase’ or

‘decrease’ in depth of ﬁeld.

Shift

Shift allows perspective control

by preserving parallel lines in the

image. It also allows ‘stitched’

panoramas.

TILT AND SHIFT ADAPTER

MOVEMENTS - ROTATION

The HTS 1.5 adapter can be rotated 90 degrees

to the left or right to enable free placement of

sharpness plane and shift direction.

The integral converter in the HTS 1.5 alters the angle of view

(in effect, extending the focal length) of each lens and causes

some loss of speed. For example, a HC 2.8/80mm - HTS 1.5

combination will produce an image you might expect from a

4.5/128 mm lens on its own, as a rough guide. Please see

under Specications for full details.

For the HTS to function correctly, the rmware in the camera and Phocus soft-

ware must be recent. Please ensure you have the latest versions installed. You

Rotation

Allows the whole unit,

at any tilt and shift set-

tings, to be rotated for

TILT

– a basic explanation

A classic problem in close-up product

photography and similar areas, is the lack

of depth of eld.

Using tilt can solve many such problems

as well as offering creative solutions.

With a basic understanding of the principles behind

tilt and shift, you will gain more conﬁdent control of

the HTS 1.5 and be able to exploit its potential to the

optimum.

The function of a camera lens is to project an image onto a sen-

sor. The sensor, being effectively two dimensional and lying in a

specic plane, can only record a two dimensional at plane, in

the same orientation, in the subject.

In practice we normally perceive some areas in front and behind

this at plane in the subject as “sharp” and this is termed the

depth of eld (which in its turn expands or contracts according

to aperture setting and subject distance).

Tilt

The lens is normally set perpendicular to the image plane and

therefore is effectively in parallel with the sensor as well. This

provides three planes to consider – the sensor, the lens and the

subject – all parallel. They are also interrelated, so moving one

will have an effect on the others. This is where tilt is introduced.

In the diagram below, the image plane, lens plane and subject

plane are parallel. This creates an area of acceptable sharp -

ness – the depth of eld. In this case, not all of the subject

lies within the boundaries of the depth of eld and those parts

therefore appear unsharp. By tilting the lens it is possible to

include more of the objects in the depth of eld without having

to use a smaller aperture.

In this case, the lens is

focused in front of the

yellow object.

At the given aperture

setting, the yellow object

is covered by the depth

of ﬁeld, the red object

partly covered and the

blue object not covered

at all. The yellow object

will therefore be accept-

ably sharp, the red object

partly sharp and the blue

object unsharp.
