Using compact flash memory cards

When shooting to a compact-flash card, the CFV is completely self-contained. No additional wires or connectors need to be at- tached.

The CFV is shipped with a 1GB compact-flash 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 affecting the total number of shots you can fit 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 flash 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 firmly on the card removal button (2a) to eject the card

 

for removal (2b).

Working with an Imagebank

There are no practical differences 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

The 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 different exter- nal disk and controller called simply the “Image Bank”. This older Image Bank is not compatible with the CFV. Only use the Hasselblad Imagebank with a CFV.
