  Computer system requirements

Digital files naturally end up on a computer for processing. Image-storage and correction requires a certain minimum standard regarding computer capabilities. Large images will require a high-performance computer with plenty of memory, advanced graphics capabilities and a recent operating system. In most cases, the computer should include a FireWire 800/400 connector, which will enable you to load images directly from the camera or Imagebank. To load images stored on the removable compact-flash card, you could instead use a compact-flash card reader, but FireWire is recommended for maximum flexibility.

A CF digital back saves images as 3FR files which are Hasselblad raw digital-camera capture standards. From FlexColor, you can optimize and then export the files to DNG or TIFF or JPEG formats instead if you wish. A CF digital back includes the Hasselblad FlexColor image-capture and editing application and native versions of FlexColor are provided for both Macintosh and Windows platforms. Please see the FlexColor manual for complete system requirements.

 Warnings and restrictions

•Keep the digital back (and all computer equipment) away from moisture wherever possible. If your camera becomes wet, disconnect from power and allow it to dry before attempting to operate again.

•Always take great care when you remove the sensor back for cleaning—the ex- posed CCD sensor is vulnerable to damage.

•Keep all cables connected to or from your camera and computer out of the way where they will not be tripped over.

•Never cover the ventilation openings on a CF digital back when the unit is on.

 Before you start

Leave protective covers on as much as possible. A CF digital back, in line with all Hasselblad products, has a robust construction and is capable of withstanding fairly rough treat- ment but nevertheless is a precision instrument and will serve you longer if treated with respect from the beginning.

Please keep purchase details and the warranty in a safe place.

In addition to the digital back itself, a CF User Manual CD, the FlexColor sofware CD and a FlexColor user manual CD, the items illustrated below are also included. If anything is missing or seems faulty in any way then you should contact your Hasselblad dealer immediately.
