Initial setup

A CF digital back is delivered with a protective cover in place. This must be removed in order to fit the i-Adapter and re-attached if the digitalback is to be stored or transported separately as protection for the CCD/filter.

To remove the cover, use the TORX T10 screwdriver supplied to unscrew all four screws (illus A). You can then fit the i-Adapter that suits your camera model.

CAUTION

Be very careful not to touch or scratch the CCD/filter surface while it is exposed and always attach the protective cover for transportation or storage..

Fitting an i-Adapter

After removing the protective cover, check that the adapter is facing the correct way (so that it will connect with the camera body) and position it in place on the back (illus B). Depending on model, there may be a data connector to be aligned and inserted into the back too. Take very grerat care when placing the adapter to ensure that no part of it touches the CCD/filter. When correctly positioned, the adapter is held in place by the four TORX T10 screws supplied. Make sure the screws are firmly tightened but not overly tight.

Powering the digital back

As with all digital products, it is essential that you maintain a constant check on battery condition and preferably have a fully-charged reserve battery with you at all times when not tethered to a computer. A CF digital back requires power either from the battery (7.2V Sony InfoLithium L type − NP-F550 for example) or from a computer via a FireWire cable.

To attach a battery:

1.Firstly, ensure the battery is fully charged (see user appropriate manual for battery and charger).

2.Remove the protective plate by sliding it as in illustration C.

3.Position the battery as in the illustration D.

3.Press the battery towards the camera. This automatically depresses the battery retaining catch.

4.Slide the battery into the final position ensuring the contact prongs on the camera are inserted into the battery. The battery retaining catch will now return to the safe- ty position

To remove a battery:

1.Depress the battery retaining catch (1) and slide the battery over it (2). It can then be freely removed.

FireWire connection:

1.Simply connect the FireWire cable between the FireWire connector on the digital back and the USB port on the computer (illus E).

ON / OFF button

With a fully charged battery fitted or when tethered to a computer, press the ON/OFF ( ) button to activate the digital back. An audible signal will be heard and a Hasselblad logo splash screen will appear on the OLED. The back will enter standby mode after the preset time to save the battery. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the digital back off. An audible signal will be heard again to confirm this.
