H4D

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. 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.

Warnings and restrictions

■If you want to power the H4D from a PC laptop (as opposed to a Macintosh

laptop),­ you must ensure that the FireWire port on the computer is capable of supplying power. Please note the following:

•Most recent Macintosh computers are compatible, both desktops and laptops.

•Most recent desktop PC computers are compatible.

•Most laptop PC computers are NOT compatible (but can be modified in many cases).

■Keep the H4D and 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 unit for cleaning as the

exposed­ CCD sensor protective filter 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.

■Ensure the ventilation openings remain uncovered on the sensor unit when it is active.

■Your new Hasselblad camera may have been supplied in kit form or as separate items. There are a number of possible combinations depending on factors such as offers, bundles etc. Please ensure that all the items noted on the accompany- ing packing information have been supplied and are correct.

■Contact your Hasselblad dealer or distributor immediately if anything is missing­ or seems faulty in any way, quoting the serial numbers and purchase details where appropriate.

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

■Familiarise yourself with the various parts and components. Leave protective covers on as much as possible and avoid touching glass surfaces and inserting fingers into the camera body. Hasselblad cameras have a robust construction and are capable of withstanding fairly rough treatment but nevertheless are precision instruments and will serve you longer if treated with respect from the beginning.

■Finally, please check occasionally on the Hasselblad website for any updates regarding user instructions, changes, news, or other information. If you have no Internet access, please contact your Hasselblad dealer or distributor for the latest information.
