User's Manual

Setup overview

Although the CFH is primarily designed for use with a Hasselblad H2 camera, it can also

be used with a Hasselblad H1 camera or with nearly any camera that has been ﬁtted with

an adapter for mounting Hasselblad ﬁlm magazines. However, not all CFH features are

available with camera bodies other than the H2.

Although most of the information in this manual assumes that you are using an H2

camera, this section explains how to use the CFH with other types of camera bodies and

describes how each solution diﬀers from using an H2.

Using with a Hasselblad H2

Attaching to a Hasselblad H2

1. Remove the CCD/ﬁlter cover from the CFH by placing your thumb on the upper

recess and pulling the top of the cover away from the CFH. Push downwards on the

cover to release the lower catch on the cover from the mounting-support plate of the

CFH.

 CAUTION

Be very careful not to touch or scratch the CCD/ﬁlter surface while it is exposed. Keep

the cover in a convenient place as you must always replace it when you remove and/or

store the CFH.

2. Rest the mounting plate of the CFH on the magazine-support hook on the camera

body, ensuring that they are correctly positioned. The end of the support shelf is

angled up at 90 degrees—this ﬁts into the slot behind the mounting plate.

3. Swing the CFH towards the camera body and ﬁrmly press into place until you hear

a click. If there is resistance, then the retention mechanism of the camera may have

been reset. To ﬁx this, rotate and depress the release button on the camera body (see

H2 user manual for details).

4. Before you can start shooting, you must have some storage media available. Do one

of the following:

• Insert a compact-ﬂash card. See ‘Using compact ﬂash memory cards’ for details.

• Connect an ImageBank. See ‘Working with an ImageBank’ for details.
