Copy
Files can be copied to an ImageBank-II to free up space
on a CF card. All batches and les remain on the card
until deleted.
To copy les:
Connect an ImageBank-II to the camera with a FireWire cable
and turn it on.
1. Press MENU and navigate down to select STORAGE.
2. Press the button and navigate down to COPY.
3. Press the button to reach the conrmation dialogue.
To conrm, press the OK button. (To cancel, press the EXIT
button. )
Conrmation will make a copy of all batches and les and
store them on the ImageBank-II in a newly created folder
called ‘CARD0001’ (for example). If you connect the camera to
the ImageBank-ll again, a new folder is automatically created
with the name ‘CARD0002’ (for example) and so on.
4s. The copying dialogue now appears to inform you of progress.
Press STOP if you want want to cancel the procedure.

Delete last image
The ’Delete last image’ has now been implemented to
the customizable button function list. Consequently
by just pressing the USER, AE-L, STOP DOWN or M.UP
button, you are now able to immediately delete the
last image. Please note that for this action to be car-
ried out, there should be no intervening action taken.
So, for example, if you zoom in to check the image you
cannot then delete it using this particular feature but
must use the regular procedure on the sensor unit.
H1D / H2D / H3D only
Profiles
ISO, white balance, colour temperature and colour tint
are now also stored in the camera proles.
Standby mode
It is now possible to turn the camera off directly from
Standby mode.
On / Off
The amount of time that the ON-OFF button must be
depressed before turning the camera on has been
increased from 500 ms to 750 ms to avoid unin-
tentional battery drain (inadvertently pressed in a
camera bag, for example).
‘Extra mirror delay’ is acti-
vated either by loading the
‘Standard’ prole or making
a manual change in Custom
Option #31.
The factory default settings
list now includes a 50 ms
extra mirror delay.
Extra mirror delay
Camera shake is common with longer hand-held
exposures leading to a loss of sharpness. The normal
remedy of using a tripod or support and manually rais-
ing the mirror is not always suitable however.
To counteract this situation, you can now increase the
delay time between the mirror settling into its raised
position and the opening of the shutter. Although the
time period here is in milliseconds, tests have shown
a marked improvement in many cases. Consequently,
slower shutter speeds can be considered (whether
hand-held or on a tripod/support) than would normally
be advised while still retaining sharpness normally
only obtainable with faster shutter speeds.
There are a number of factors — shutter speed/stur-
diness of tripod or support/focal length of lens — to
take into account when determining the ideal setting.
50 milliseconds is suggested as a good starting point
for experimentation and is the default setting.

H3D only (with sensor unit attached)
On H-system cameras, ISO settings and White Bal-
ance settings can be changed either on the camera
or on the sensor unit.
On the camera, this part of the menu is normally
accessed by pressing the MENU button, turning the
front control wheeel to DIGITAL and then pressing
the ENTER (Drive) button.
The new Custom Option #32 now provides rapid
access to the ISO / White Balance setting screen
by re-assigning the FLASH, AF or DRIVE buttons.
One press of the chosen button will then take you
straight to the ISO and White Balance setting screen
for immediate last-second changes.

The ‘Camera’ choice on the menu is now greyed out
as it is irrelevant in this conguration.
‘System Info’
The “System info” section of the menu has an
additional information screen that displays the Ultra
Focus calibration ID.
A matching ID can also be found in the sensor unit
menu for optimum performance.

Changes to the Warranty Conditions — all products
ADDENDUM TO H1 / H1D / H2 / H2D / H3D / 503CWD /
CFV / CF - USER MANUALS
“Hasselblad partners will provide the minimum of a twelve month
warranty to end-users (subject to their normal statutory rights) on
new Hasselblad equipment sold, valid from the date that the equip-
ment is purchased by the rst end-user.
For H System camera bodies, lm backs and lenses the warranty
will be limited to the warranty period provided by the partner or to
100,000 exposures, whichever is reached rst.
Warranty claims must be made through the dealer and/or company
where the product was originally purchased. The factory warranty
is NOT international, and warranty claims cannot be made through
other channels. This is also valid for equipment purchased outside
the country of residence.
Please note that physical damage to the CCD sensor (scratches,
chipping, unauthorized polishing) is not covered by factory warranty.
Cleaning of dust from the CCD sensor is considered as maintenance
and is thus not covered by factory warranty.”
Please note the important changes in the warranty conditions which came into effect from
the 1st July 2006 onwards. These changes replace the warranty conditions appearing in
the user manuals from 1st July 2006 onwards.
