Extremes of temperature: High temperatures can have an adverse effect on both film and equipment. Try to avoid frequent and severe temperature changes. Be particularly careful in humid environments. Allow the equipment to acclimatize before assembly. Try to ensure the storage conditions in such environments are as dry as possible.

Dust and grit: Take care to prevent dust and grit from getting into your equipment. In coastal areas take measures to protect your equipment from sand and salt water spray. Dust on the lens glass and focusing screen can be removed with a blower brush or very soft lens brush if necessary. Smears on the lens glass should be treated with great caution. In some cases they may be removed with a high quality lens cleaning solution on a tissue but be careful not to scratch the lens or touch any of the glass surfaces with your fingers. If in any doubt, do not attempt to clean lens glass surfaces yourself but allow a “Hasselblad Authorized Service Center” to treat them.

Impact: Your equipment can be damaged by severe physical shocks so practical protective precautions should be taken. Some form of protective case or camera bag is advised for transportation.

Loss: Hasselblad equipment is much sought after and you should take obvious steps to prevent theft. Never leave it visible in an unattended car, for example. Separate and specific camera insurance cover should be considered by professional users.

Return your equipment to a service centre for occasional checking and preventive maintenance to ensure optimal reliability. You can easily keep a check on service intervals by looking under ‘Info’ in the menu. If your camera is used constantly and intensively, regular periodic check-ups are recommended at one of the “Hasselblad Authorized Service Centers”. They have the expert staff and special- ised equipment necessary to ensure that your equipment remains in perfect working order.

GUARANTEE

Provided that you bought your equipment from an authorized Hasselblad outlet, it is covered by an international guarantee for one year.

Another significant aspect of the H1D is its digital back compatibility, which allows users to interchange backs easily for different needs, such as tethered shooting or different sensor sizes. This adaptability is a boon for professional photographers who often work in dynamic settings. The camera also supports a variety of lenses, further broadening its usability.

In terms of connectivity, the H1D is equipped with USB port options for easy file transfers, along with options for wireless tethering, allowing for seamless integration into modern workflows.
