Using compact flash memory cards
When shooting to a compact-flash card, the CFV is completely
self-contained. No additional wires or connectors need to be at-
tached.
The CFV 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”.

Working with an Imagebank
There are no practical differences between storage on the internal
CF card or on 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 exter-
nal disk and controller called simply the “Image Bank”. This
older Image Bank is not compatible with the CFV. Only use the
Hasselblad Imagebank with a CFV.
