Hasselblad H2 AE-L button, Film wind-off button, User button, UP button, Remote release cord port

On the rear of the grip, as well as the rear control wheel, there are a further three control buttons:

	AE-L button	J
	This button can lock a light reading made in both automatic and manual exposure modes.
	It can also be used in Zone mode to take a new reading.
J	Can be reassigned in Custom Settings to another function.
	See section on the AE-L button (chapter 8, Light Metering and Exposure Control) for
K	full details.
	Film wind-off button	K

L

Pressing this button will automatically wind-off the remaining unexposed film rapidly without having to go through the normal film advance / expose cycles to reach the end of the film. The button has been purposely designed to avoid inadvertent pressing, so use the tip of a ball-point pen or similar to activate it. The grip LCD will display a message which you must confirm before this procedure is carried out.

	USER button	L
	This button is purely user programmable to rapidly access a chosen function or screen.
	For example, you might use bracketing a great deal and so by one press of this button
	you could access the bracketing function without having to navigate through the menu.
	The AE-L, Mirror -UPand Stop Down buttons are also user-programmable but are by default
	assigned the functions according to their names
	 The reassignable capability of these buttons is particularly useful and can save you a great
	deal of time and effort depending on how you work. You are advised to investigate their
	potential fully. See under ‘Custom settings’ for full details.
	On the front of the grip there are two more control buttons plus the remote cord
	release port:
	M.UP button	M
	Press this button to raise the mirror and press again to lower it (toggle function). A quick
	double press of the button (two within a half second) will immediately access the ‘Self
	timer’ function.
M	Can be reassigned in Custom Settings to another function.
	Remote release cord port	N
N
	For attaching a remote release cord (electrical). The Hasselblad accessory jack plug socket
O
	is protected by a captive rubber plug.
	STOP DOWN button	O
