Most flash units are suitable for use with the CFV. Ho wever, for the sak e of safety, care should be
taken when using studio flash units (strobe) and tethered to a stationary computer.
Portable units
Attach the flash sync cable to t he lens (or camera body in the case of a Hasselblad 200
series model) and make the appropriate settings according to the unit.
is also applies when using studio units when:
a) tethered to a computer not connected to a regular electricity supply system.
or
b) teth ered to an Imagebank or laptop computer running on batteries.
With studio type flash units (strobe) and tethered to a computer
If the CWD is tethered to a c omputer that is connected to a reg ular electricit y supply
system as well as a studio flash/strobe unit that is also connected to a regu lar electricity
supply system/generator system, then make the following connections instead:
a) C onnect the flash sync input cable from the sync contact (PC connector) on the lens
to the flash sync IN terminal on the back.
b) C onnect the flash sync output cable from the flash sync OUT terminal on the back
to a regular flash sync cable that is connected to the unit.
TTL function – 503CW only
A TTL function is only ava ilable with the 503CW. e reflective ch aracteristics of the
digital sensor are di fferent to film surface ch aracteristics for wh ich the TTL funct ion
was originally desi gned. However, by changing (in effec t, ‘tricking’) t he setting, TT L
exposures can be made. Proceed as follows:
Move the ISO selector on the 503CW so that is becomes approximately 1⅔ f/stop higher
than the ISO setting on the CFV. erefore, for example, when the back is set at 50ISO,
the ‘film speed setting’ on the camera should read 160ISO, and so on. Testing for the most
suitable compensation that suits you is recommended.
