Sinar Hy6 65.
System integration at its best.
Sinar has designed the Sinar Hy6 65 as a truly integrated digital mediumformat camera system that offers photographers maximum ease of use for
mobile applications and an optimum workflow combined with outstanding

Thanks to the seamless integration of high-quality system components with optimized communica-

tion between lens, camera body, digital engine, and software, the Sinar Hy6 65 allows the photographer to concentrate on capturing excellent images. No guesswork, no disturbing cables, no manual
synchronization of different components – the Sinar Hy6 65 fully supports the photographer in their
creative process.
Furthermore, the Sinar Hy6 embodies everything you can expect from a state-of-the-art camera
system. As well as its precise autofocus and exposure metering system, it brings innovative features
such as focus trap and focus bracketing to the world of medium-format. Thanks to its between-thelens shutter, it features the fastest flash sync speed for medium-format camera systems of 1/1000
second, allowing you to freeze-frame even very fast motion.

A philosophy rather than a format
The 6x6 design of the Sinar Hy6 camera body gives the photographer an entirely different
approach to their creative work. They can conveniently arrange their images with the large,
bright focusing screen and interchangeable viewfinders, and switch the image orientation
from landscape to portrait without having to turn the camera. Only 6x6 medium-format
cameras with the appropriate viewfinders can offer such convenience when creating pictures with extraordinary perspectives.

Putting everything into the right
perspective
The Sinar Hy6 65 offers access to a wide range of high-quality
AFD lenses with the resolving power and image quality required
for high-end and high-resolution digital imaging. It is also compatible with the manual focus and AF lenses of the successful
Rollei 6008 camera system. Thanks to this access to such a wide
range of lenses, the Sinar Hy6 65 ensures that you can capture your images
with the intended perspective and scale of reproduction at the required
quality level.

The large, square focusing screen allows
rotation of the digital back without
changing the photographer’s view and
the camera perspective.

Sinar Hy6-s65r.
Give it the special twist.
As well as the aforementioned features, the Sinar Hy6-s65r model includes Sinar’s unique revolving
adapter for the Sinar Hy6. This allows you to switch the image orientation from landscape to portrait with a simple twist of the back – without detaching the back from the camera body – hence
allowing convenient, safe, and dust-free operation. Moreover, the Sinar Hy6-s65r includes additional features such as live image for precise image composition and focusing and additional data
storage format options.

Fast image processing on board
With both the Sinar Hy6 65 and the Sinar Hy6-s65r camera, images are captured with a 31 million

Sinar’s revolving adapter allows the back’s
orientation to be safely changed without

pixel CCD sensor with an imaging area that is almost twice the size of a full-frame 35 mm camera
system. Thanks to their QCIP technology (QuadCore Image Processing), these Sinar Hy6 camera
models are the first digital medium-format cameras with fully integrated digital image processing
on board. Image processing settings such as contrast, saturation, and noise suppression can be set
directly on the camera system for fast and easy processing of the captured images.

Innovative operation and power supply concept
The Sinar Hy6 65 and the Sinar Hy6-s65r feature a very bright, high-resolution 3” display
that changes its orientation according to the orientation of the camera. The
hardware keys and track ball ensure the easiest, intuitive operation without
the hassle of navigating through complex menu structures.
The dual power supply concept of the Sinar Hy6 65 allows the camera system to be operated with one single battery in the camera’s handgrip for
minimum weight. Alternatively, a second battery can be placed inside the
digital unit for maximum operation time.

The Sinar Hy6 handgrip (patent pending)
can easily be rotated to the most suitable
ergonomic position.

With the Sinarback eSprit 65, Sinar also offers the innovations of the Sinar
Hy6-s65r to photographers who need maximum flexibility in using their
equipment.
Thanks to a set of interchangeable adapters, the innovative features of the Sinar Hy6-s65r are
available not only in combination with the Sinar Hy6 camera but also with other camera bodies.
