Hasselblad H2 user manual Examples

The basic principle behind making changes is that the appropriate button is first pressed to access the menu and then settings altered by way of the control wheels. The appropriate control wheel is designated by arrowheads alongside the setting description.

Some buttons have a toggle function, the ON.OFF button has a quick ‘click’ action as well as a longer (half-second) ‘press’ action and the shutter release has two positions: ‘half-press’ and ‘full-press’.

Several buttons on the grip are multifunctional, according to the state of the menu. In the example illustrated here, the FLASH button func- tions as the EXIT button, the AF button functions as the ON button and the DRIVE button functions as the SAVE button.

At very low temperatures the LCDs require a few seconds to display new settings.

The following is a list of the various terms describing the various actions that appear in the menu (on the grip LCD):
