The H2 camera body is a robust construction of cast aluminium with a stainless steel shell for extreme durability. The workings of the camera are controlled by silicon technology that provides tre- mendous opportunities for sophisticated operation. To take just two examples, the mirror return is slowed down at the last mo- ment by controlling the motor to decrease vibrations and the cur- rent usage of the camera, lenses, film magazines, etc is recorded and freely accessible for service intervals, etc.

The integral ergonomic grip houses the main control interface and also contains the battery holder. An auxiliary shutter in the rear opening of the camera body protects the film from exposure dur- ing the various camera procedures. Please take extra care when handling the camera body without protective cover or magazine in place to protect the auxiliary shutter. Likewise, the front opening of the camera body reveals the mirror when unprotected by a cover or lens. Do not touch or attempt to clean the mirror. Slight marks or some dust particles on the mirror will not affect results. More notice- able problems, however, should be taken care of by a Hasselblad Authorized Service Center. The camera body also contains the view- finder screen, which can be easily removed or exchanged without the use of special tools or adjustment procedures.
