Hasselblad has announced the latest innovation in their range of aerial cameras. They have introduced their latest model, Hasselblad A6D-100c, a 100MP medium format aerial camera. It’s built upon its previous models, but with improved features and higher resolution.
Hasselblad A6D-100c features a 100 MP CMOS sensor and the ISO range from 64 to 12,800. It’s available with or without Infra-Red filter for infra-red captures from 750nm to 1000nm. This can serve the needs of aerial analysis, such as environment surveying and crop management. It includes a feature that allows up to 8 cameras to be synchronized within 20 μs, and the exposure time has been increased up to 1/4000 of a second.
According to Product Manager Bjarne Hjörlund, “the A6D camera combines the world’s best optics and sensors with a modern, compact design, resulting in a system that will ensure you attain the highest possible image quality. Hasselblad aerial cameras provide a range of important features that help deliver your imaging requirements”.
