Powering the CFH on an H2
When connected to an H2 camera body, the CFH takes its power from the H2 battery
pack. e combination is turned on and off using the on/off switch on the camera body.
Please see the H2 user manual for details about the on/off switch, standby times etc.
Removing the CFH from an H2
1. Disconnect all cables (if any) from the CFH, including all FireWire and flash-trigger
cables.
2. Remove the viewfinder assembly from the camera body by pressing its release but
-
ton and lifting it up and away from the body. See also the H2 user manual for details
about removing and replacing the viewfinder assembly.
3. While pushing the safety catch backwards on the digital back (3 illus. A) push the
lever of the digital back release button to the right (3 illus. B) and while maintaining
that position press the centre of the button firmly inwards towards the camera body
(3 illus. C) to finally release the magazine.
4. Tilt the CFH away from the camera body and pull it away.
 Caution:
The CCD and filter are now exposed; be very careful not to touch or scratch the exposed
surface.
5. Replace the CCD/filter cover by hooking the bottom edge of the cover behind the
mounting plate of the CFH and then pressing the top of the cover against the back
until it clicks into place.
Using with a Hasselblad H1
Using with a Hasselblad H1 Camera
e H1 was Hasselblad’s first camera specifically designed for both digital and film-based
photography. e CFH and H2 are the next generation in this line. e CFH can be fitted
on an H1 camera, but the integration is less complete than with an H2 camera.
Mounting onto an H1
Mount the CFH to your H1 camera just as you would mount a film magazine. If you have
trouble, please see above section Attaching to a Hasselblad H2
and your H1 manual
for help.
Configuring for use with an H1
e CFH comes pre-configured for use with an H1 or H2 camera; both require the same
camera-body setting (“H1”), which prepares the CFH to work with either of these two
camera bodies. However, if you have been using the CFH with another type of camera
(e.g., a view camera), then set the MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > CAMERA > Body
entry
to “H1”. See MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > Camera
for details.
e CFH remembers your setting, even when turned off. However, you must adjust this
setting as required each time you move the CFH to a new type of camera.
Limitations when using an H1
When you use the CFH with an H1, the following limitations apply when compared with
the standard H2 operation described elsewhere in this manual:
