1.1 907X SPECIAL EDITION
On 20 July 1969, Astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong successful-
lylandedonourlunarsurface,becomingthersthumansto
step foot on the Moon. The 907X Special Edition celebrates
theanniversaryofthisrstMoonlandingandtheHasselblad
cameras that documented the historic event. Incorporating
the 907X and CFV II 50C, it connects Hasselblad’s photo-
graphic history into one system, enabling full use of the high
performance lenses from the Hasselblad X System. Through
additional lens adapters, the 907X Special Edition even
supports V, H, and XPan system lenses.
This User Guide describes the functionality of the 907X
Special Edition Camera. A separate User Guide is available
that explains how to use the CFV II 50C on V System and
Technical Cameras.
Reminiscent of the classic V System camera combined with Hasselblad’s high-end digital medium
format technology, the 907X Special Edition camera offers a truly distinct photographic experience.
Small and compact, it produces unparalleled medium format image quality. The CFV II 50C’s tilt
screen enables the classic waist-level shooting style of the V System, hinting to Hasselblad’s history
while letting photographers compose their images from a new point of view in the digital era.

V System Camera support
The CFV II 50C digital back can be removed from the 907X
camera body and be used on most V System Cameras ever
built. See the separate User Guide for the CFV II 50C for more
information.
Touch screen interface
Equipped with a smartphone style user interface, the rear
touch 3 inch display allows quick and simple access to the
digital back shooting settings including WB and ISO. There is
also the option of adding up to 8 favourite icons to the main
menu display to allow fast access to your most frequently used
functions and settings.
Tilt screen
The rear screen can be tilted upwards 90 degrees for conven-
ient operation in many situations.
Live view
High frame rate live view is available to assist with critical
focusing of the image.
Dual SD media card slots
Equipped with dual UHS-2 compatible media card slots,
the digital back will automatically use them concurrently for
storage.
Battery inside
Improving on previous CFV models, the interchangeable and
rechargeable battery is now located inside the CFV, behind
the SD card lid. This enables the streamlined shape and
design to be maintained and makes it possible to adapt to
basically all V System cameras ever made. Battery type is the
same that is used for X System cameras.
