Is the new HDR feature on the Hasselblad X2D II just marketing—or does it really change the way your images look? In this video, I explore the real-world results of Hasselblad’s HDR-capable HEIF and JPEG output and compare it to standard SDR files. You’ll learn how to activate HDR in your camera, how to expose correctly using ETTR (Expose to the Right), and how to view and edit your images using Phocus Mobile 2 on iPad with a true HDR workflow.
If you’ve ever been disappointed by flat or lifeless photos on screen—even from a high-end medium format sensor—this video explains why that happens, and how HDR-enabled displays (like the MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad, and HDR TVs) are finally catching up to the dynamic range of your camera.
This is a must-watch if you’re shooting with the X2D II, interested in HDR photography, or just want to get the most out of your Hasselblad system. Whether you’re into landscape, architectural photography, or just beautiful, lifelike color and contrast—this will change how you shoot and share.
