 POWER MODES

The H5D can be set at three active modes − ON, Display Off and Sleep. In these active modes, battery consumption is least in Sleep mode and most in ON mode. Both the grip and the sensor unit displays are dimmed accordingly. How- ever, after a set number of minutes of complete inactivity, the whole camera can automatically enter another mode (custom setting) to conserve power (indicated by no visible logos on either display).

ON

To activate the camera press the red ON.OFF button until you see the start-up H5D logo appear on the grip display. The logo is automatically followed by the main screen.

OFF

From the active screen, press (not click !) the red ON.OFF button for a half second. All buttons (except the ON.OFF button) remain ineffective, producing virtually no demand on the battery. This is the normal mode when transporting or storing the camera or where there might be a risk of inad- vertently activating the ­camera. (However, remove the bat- tery grip if you are going to store the camera for a period of more than a few weeks).

In this mode neither the viewfinder display nor grip display information is available.

 AUTOMATIC SETTINGS

DISPLAY OFF

SENSOR UNIT MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > DISPLAY OFF

In this mode the camera turns off the grip and sensor unit displays but remains ready to be immediately reactivated to the ON mode.

The time intervals are: 10, 20, 30 and 60 seconds.

 VIEWFINDER SCREEN

The H5D is fitted with a Spherical Acute-Matte D viewfinder screen for extreme brightness, clarity and even illumina- tion. An optional accessory screen with a grid pattern is also available.

To change a viewfinder screen, remove the viewfinder to ac- cess the viewfinder screen. To remove the screen, place the tip of a ballpoint pen or similar in the viewfinder screen re- moval lug and pull upwards. To replace the screen, position the right side of the screen in place so that it sits correctly in the recess. Place the tip of a ballpoint pen or similar in

  Note

Do not attempt to clean the screen by immersing it in wa- ter, or use any kind of cleaning fluid. If the screen becomes damp, do not use hot air to dry it. Use a soft cloth on the up- per surface only. Seek advice from an Authorized Hasselblad Service Center if the screen becomes particularly soiled. Re- member that particles or greasy marks on the screen might impair the viewfinder image but have no effect whatsoever on the recorded image

SLEEP

SENSOR UNIT MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > SLEEP

In this mode the camera is in ‘power down’ mode and there- fore reduces battery consumption. This mode is indicated by the ready lamp glowing orange instead of green. From this mode it will take a few seconds to re-activate the cam- era. Any of the buttons listed below will work.

The time intervals are: 5 minutes, 10 minutes and Never.

POWER OFF

SENSOR UNIT MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > POWER OFF

In this mode the camera is completely without power and has to be started by pressing the ON button again - simple reactivation is not sufficient.
