The H2/D camera body is a robust construction of cast aluminium
with a stainless steel shell for extreme durability. The workings of
the camera are controlled by silicon technology that provides tre
-
mendous opportunities for sophisticated operation. To take just two
examples, the mirror return is slowed down at the last moment by
controlling the motor to decrease vibrations and the current usage
status of the camera body, lenses etc is recorded and freely accessible
for service intervals, etc.
The integral ergonomic grip houses the main control interface and
also contains the battery holder. An auxiliary shutter in the rear open
-
ing of the camera body protects the sensor unit from exposure during
the various camera procedures. Please take extra care when han
-
dling the camera body without a protective cover or the sensor unit
in place to protect the auxiliary shutter. Likewise, the front opening
of the camera body reveals the mirror when unprotected by a cover
or lens. Do not touch or attempt to clean the mirror—slight marks
or dust particles will not affect results. More noticeable problems,
however, should be taken care of by a Hasselblad Authorized Service
Center. The camera body also contains the viewfinder screen, which
can be easily removed or exchanged without the use of special tools
or adjustment procedures.
Carrying strap 1, 2
e carrying strap is attached by firstly withdrawing the safety
collar. e hook is then freed and attached to the strap lug (fig. 1).
Slide back the safety collar (fig. 2) to ensure the hook remains in
the locked position between the small protruding lugs. e collar
is purposely a tight fit and might need some effort to slide.
Rechargeable battery grip 3, 4
e H2/D requires battery power for all actions. Being a completely
digital camera there is naturally no mechanical reserve facility. It
is therefore advisable to keep the reserve grip complete with fresh
lithium batteries handy if you do not use a spare rechargeable grip.
As is the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered
when used in very low temperatures. In this situation it is advisable
to keep the reserve in an inside pocket, for example, to maintain
them near body temperature.
e Battery grip rechargeable 7.2V (3043348) is the standard
power source for the H2/D camera. Remove it from the camera by
depressing the battery holder button and simultaneously swinging
the battery holder retaining lever down until it stops. Pull battery
grip downwards.
If you intend to store the battery grip separately from the camera
you should ensure that the safety cover is in place. It snaps into
place and is removed by pulling outwards and upwards on the
locking clip as in the illustration.
The battery charger 5, 6
e battery charger unit is supplied with five plug attachments to
suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide.
Other types of socket will require a domestic socket converter.
Attach the chosen plug (fig 6) by sliding it into position, ensuring
that the two electrical contact prongs on the charger correctly
enter the two contact sockets on the plug attachment. Removal is
by the reverse procedure.
