Hasselblad 3034216 User Manual

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”.

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, with the brand label facing in the same direction as the
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.

When the card is completely inserted, swing the cover shut
again.

Removing a card

1. With the CF card cover open, press gently on the card removal

button (1a) and then release it. It will now extend out from its
original position, as in the illustration (1b).

2. Press ﬁrmly on the card removal button (2a) to eject the card

for removal (2b).

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.
