Using compact ash memory cards
When shooting to a compact-ash card, a CF digital back is com-
pletely self-contained. No additional wires or connectors need to
be attached.
A CF digital back is shipped with a 1GB compact-ash 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
aecting the total number of shots you can t 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 ash
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 rmly on the card removal button (2a) to eject the card
for removal (2b).
Working with an Imagebank
ere are no practical dierences 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
e 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 dierent external
disk and controller called simply the “Image Bank”. This older
Image Bank is not compatible with a CF digital back. Only use
the Hasselblad Imagebank with a CF digital back.
