Quick Start | Hasselblad H2 specification

1Quick Start

This section is a quick start guide to assembling and preparing your new. From separate items, the assem- bly process should take no more than several min- utes to complete and you will be able to take simple and straightforward photographs immediately.

You can, of course, skip the sections on loading ﬁlm if you wish to just assemble the camera to begin with or when using a digital back immediately.

All the information is repeated later on in the man- ual, as well as much more in-depth information, under the relevant sections and headings for easier search access.
