Manual information
is manual covers most user aspects of the H2, H2D cameras and CFH digital backs.
e information is loosely divided between the products but quite naturally there is a
good deal of overlap. For example, the H2D sensor unit and the CFH digital back share
the identical menu structure and so that aspect appears under the same heading. e
logos on the first page of each chapter symbolize the content relevance in most cases.
Where appropriate in the text and for the the sake of simplicity, the H2 and H2D models
are collectively referred to as H2/D. In addition, the illustrations might show an H2 logo
instead of a H2D or a film magazine attached instead of a digital back. For the sake of
simplicity all possible variations and eventualities are therefore not illustrated.
Regarding the megapixel classification of your particular model; usage is the same. e
only noticeable difference will be logo appearance, file capture /storage speed, file size/
quality and last but not least picture quality of course!
Computer system requirements (H2D and CFH only)
Digital files naturally end up on a computer for processing. Image-storage and correction
requires a certain minimum standard regarding computer capabilities. Large images
will require a high-performance computer with plenty of memory, advanced graphics
capabilities and a recent operating system. In most cases, the computer should include
a FireWire 800/400 connector, which will enable you to load images directly from the
camera or Imagebank. To load images stored on the removable compact-flash card,
you could instead use a compact-flash card reader, but FireWire is recommended for
maximum flexibility.
Warnings and restrictions (H2D and CFH only)
• Keep your H2D/CFH and all other computer equipment away from moisture wherever possible. If it
becomes wet, disconnect from power and allow it to dry before attempting to operate again.
• Always take great care when you remove the sensor back for cleaning—the exposed filter that covers
the CCD sensor is vulnerable to damage.
• Keep all cables connected to or from your camera and computer out of the way where they will not
be tripped over.
• Never cover the ventilation openings on the digital back when it is active.
Please see later section on all general precautions and recommendations.
