Hasselblad X2D II 100C Mirrorless Digital Camera

Crafted for those who seek brilliance, Hasselblad X2D II 100C delivers true-to-life colour powered by the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution with High Dynamic Range (HNCS HDR). The new AF-C mode, subject detection and 10-stop stabilisation work together to deliver sharp images with speed and precision—even in challenging conditions. And with Phocus Mobile 2 streamlining your workflow, you can stay fully immersed in your creative process—letting inspiration flow and exceptional images follow naturally.

The new AF-C mode brings reliable continuous autofocus, accurately detecting and tracking moving subjects. In AF-S mode, 425 PDAF zones that spread over the 100-megapixel sensor work with the LiDAR for fast, accurate focusing. A new AF illuminator improves autofocus performance in low light and doubles as a self-timer indicator.

Experience the first medium format camera with true end-to-end HDR. Your richly detailed HDR images are captured and processed in-camera as HDR HEIF or Ultra HDR JPEG for stunning results, and can be instantly reviewed on the touchscreen with 1400-nit peak brightness, or edited directly on iPhone/iPad 5 with Phocus Mobile 2.

Building on HNCS, X2D II 100C's HNCS HDR harnesses high dynamic range to elevate Hasselblad's signature natural colours to new heights of brilliance. Even in harsh light, it prevents overexposure more effectively whilst revealing more detail. HDR images captured with X2D II 100C can be viewed directly on the built-in 1400-nit touchscreen or on compatible MacBook Pro models. When SDR photography is preferred, simply switch modes in camera settings.

Discover HNCS HDR

The renowned Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) now evolves with high dynamic range technology in X2D II 100C, bringing end-to-end HNCS HDR for imagery that captures the world as your eyes truly see it.

Refining Hasselblad Tones With HDR

Traditional HDR solutions focus solely on dynamic optimisation—brightening shadows and compressing highlights to retain detail. While this preserves details, it often reduces contrast and flattens the image, sacrificing the very tonal qualities that bring photographs to life.

Hasselblad engineers recognised that mastering highlight rendition demanded an entirely different approach.

To reveal HDR's full potential, Hasselblad expands from sRGB to the wider P3 colour gamut. The new imaging system also features 1400‑nit peak brightness—a 75% increase over previous models. These advances unlock the medium-format sensor's complete imaging capabilities, revealing nuanced details in highlights that would otherwise be lost.

Through three years of intensive development, our engineers have created HNCS HDR—a breakthrough solution that enhances Hasselblad's signature natural colours and tones with the expanded possibilities of high dynamic range, whilst maintaining the authentic Hasselblad colour science photographers trust—whether capturing in HDR or SDR.

Highlights Throughout Your Workflow

With X2D II 100C, HNCS HDR brilliance flows through every stage of your workflow—from initial capture to playback to post-processing. The camera generates HDR HEIF or Ultra HDR JPEG files directly, viewable instantly on the built-in 1400-nit touchscreen.

Phocus Mobile 2 brings this capability further. Beyond viewing and editing X2D II 100C HDR images, the app can apply HNCS HDR processing to RAW files from X2D 100C, X1D II 50C, CFV 100C and CFV II 50C. When shared on HDR-capable platforms, these images showcase the full brilliance of HNCS HDR, revealing colours and tones with unprecedented fidelity.

Stabilisation performance is now up to 8 times that of X2D 100C when capturing distant subjects. The advanced 5-axis, 10-stop IBIS lets you shoot handheld for several seconds 7 and still capture crisp, clear images. Long exposures to capture flowing traffic or running water are now possible without a tripod.

Precision Without Compromise

The 100-megapixel medium format sensor's extraordinary resolution demands equally extraordinary stabilisation.

Hasselblad engineers redesigned the entire stabilisation system—hardware, structure, and algorithms—delivering 5-axis, 10-stop in-body image stabilisation to X2D II 100C whilst maintaining the compact form photographers expect.

Uncompromising Calibration Standards

Each X2D II 100C undergoes an individual 2-hour calibration using Hasselblad's most stringent protocols. For X2D II 100C, our engineers applied Hasselblad’s highest internal standards, achieving 0.1-pixel control precision through pixel-level calibration.

The system employs high-precision gyroscopes and accelerometers, detecting movements as fine as 0.001 degrees. Through extensive field research analysing camera shake patterns across all age groups, Hasselblad refined the stabilisation algorithms for real-world conditions. An innovative electronic compass even compensates for Earth's rotation*, ensuring consistent performance worldwide.
