Hasselblad H4D200MS  ATTACHING a Lens,  REMOVING a Lens,  FRONT Lens CAP,  LENS Shades

 ATTACHING A LENS

Remove the front protective cover on the camera body by depressing the lens release button and keep- ing it depressed while turning the cover counter-clockwise. Remove the rear lens cap by unscrewing it in

acounter-clockwise direction. Align the index on the lens with the index on the camera body and rotate the lens clockwise (bayonet fitting) until it clicks into place.

 REMOVING A LENS

Depress the lens release button and keep it depressed while rotating the lens counter-clockwise until it stops and lift it out. Replace protective caps on the lens immediately and on the camera body if necessary.

If you try to rotate the lens before you press the lens release button, it might lock. In this case, rotate the lens clock- wise a little first and then re-attempt re- moval with the correct procedure: but- ton first, then lens.

 FRONT LENS CAP

Front lens caps are released for re- moval and attachment by inserting a thumb and index finger into the recesses and pinching in the direc- tion of the arrows.

 LENS SHADES

All lenses are supplied with lens shades that additionally provide extra protection for transport and storage when mounted in reverse. Lens shades have a bayonet fitting and are turned clockwise into place after ensuring the index on the lens shade aligns with the index on the front of the lens. When mounted in reverse, they are attached by matching the indexes and turning clockwise.

 SHUTTER AND APERTURE CONTROL

In manual mode both the shutter and aperture are elec- tronically controlled and are adjusted by the ­scroll wheels on the grip. There are no separate manual setting rings on the lenses or camera body.

The chosen settings are displayed both on the grip display and in the viewfinder display. See under Light Metering & Exposure Control / Exposure Method for a complete expla- nation.

 FILTERS

Filters have a screw thread fitting (67 / 77 / 95 mm, according to lens) and are screwed clockwise into place. As there is no rotation of the front section of the lens when focus is changed, filters do not rotate ei- ther. This is particularly useful when using polarizing or graduated filters where the orientation is normally critical.

  FOCUSING DISTANCE CALCULATION

There are two distance scales (in feet and metres) visible through the window on the upper part of the lens barrel.

The focusing distance is read off the chosen scale from the central lens index.
