Exposure Cable 503

Hasselblad 503CW plus winder CW

All Hasselblad V-system cameras can communicate with the CFV without the need for extra cable connections except:

Unmodified 200 series models using CF lenses in C-mode

ArcBody

FlexBody

View cameras (with the appropriate adapter and cables) can also be used.

The exposure time set on the CFV sets the maximum length of exposure. The default setting is 1/8 sec and this is the setting that can be kept for all exposures from 1/8 sec through 1/2000sec. However, this setting should be changed in accordance with the time required if it exceeds 1/8 sec. Times of up to 32 seconds can be set.

If you prefer, you can connect the ‘Flash sync input cable’ between the lens PC socket and the CFV which allows you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second while still be- ing able to use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This method also allows the use of the B setting.

Model setting variations

Look in the list below for the camera model you are using and make the appropriate set- tings change. Don’t forget to change the setting if you change camera model!

CW

For use with 503 CW models:

Make a CW setting.

If you want to control the camera from FlexColor, connect the ‘Exposure cable 503´ between the CFV and the Winder CW as in the illustration.

Do not use the winder at rapid sequence setting.

ELD

For use with ELD models:

Make an ELD setting.

A B setting exposure can be made by choosing the “Bulb” in the “Exposure Time” setting. The maximum exposure time remains at 32 seconds however.
