Hasselblad 3FR Raw Image is a proprietary Hasselblad raw image format produced by some models of Hasselblad camera equipment. The format is based on Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and conforms to the Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) standard. The format was developed in the early 2000s with the introduction of H2D 2nd generation of integrated DSLRs and as a successor to Imacon 3F raw image file format.
