Hasselblad 503CWD Benutzerhandbuch

Using compact ﬂash memory cards

When shooting to a compact-ﬂash card, the H2D is completely self-con-

tained. No additional wires or connectors need to be attached.
The 503 CWD is shipped with a 1GB compact-ﬂash card, which is able to

hold over 45 shots. Lossless compression is applied to the images, so the

actual size of each capture can vary, thereby aﬀecting the total number

of shots you can ﬁt on the card. You can purchase additional, possibly

larger-capacity, cards and change them as each card becomes full.



Note that the camera can copy the contents of its compact ﬂash card
to an Imagebank even when no computer is attached. This enables
you to backup your shots and then clear space on the card to keep on
shooting. See section on “Transferring Images”.

Inserting a card

1. Open the CF card cover to reveal the CF slot.
2. Hold the CF card so that the connector holes face into the

slot in the 503 CWD, with the brand label facing in the same
direction as the 503 CWD preview screen. Gently press the
card into the slot.

If you encounter resistance, it might be because you are hold-
ing the card backwards or upside down. Experiment until you
ﬁnd the orientation that allows the card to slide in easily.

Swing the cover shut again.

Removing a card

1. After opening the CF card cover, press gently on the card

removal button and then release it.

2. The button will now extend out from its original position, as

in the illustration.

3. Press ﬁrmly on the card removal button to eject the card for

removal.

Working with an Imagebank

There are no practical diﬀerences between shooting to the internal card

or to an Imagebank. However, when several media are mounted, you

must be sure to select the correct destination medium (see also “Working

with Media and Batches”).

Working with a Hasselblad Imagebank

The Imagebank is an optional add-on for your digital camera

system. It is essentially an external FireWire hard disk optimized

for digital photography, providing extensive storage space and

high-speed data transfer. It is small, light and battery powered. You

can easily clip it to your belt, so the solution is nearly as portable

as the stand-alone camera.



Older digital backs in the ‘ixpress’ line used a diﬀerent external disk

and controller called simply the “Image Bank”. This older Image
Bank is not compatible with the 503 CWD. Use only the Hasselblad
Imagebank with a 503 CWD.
