Hasselblad H4D200MS user manual  PROTECTIVE Base Plate,  USING Compact Flash Memory Cards

 PROTECTIVE BASE PLATE

To remove the protective base plate, lift the securing catch while pushing the plate towards the lens. To attach it again, slip it over the camera foot until it stops and the securing catch snaps into place.

 USING COMPACT FLASH MEMORY CARDS

When using a compact-flash card, the H5D is completely self-­contained. No addition-

al wires or connectors need to be attached­ . The recommended type is UDMA/type 4 /60MBs (400x) or better. Please see the Appendix in this manual for a list of recom- mended cards.

The H5D is shipped with an 8GB (or larger) compact-flash card, which is capable of holding approximately 50 − 100 captures (according to model). Lossless compression is applied to the images, so the actual size of each capture can vary, thereby affecting the total number of shots you can fit on the card.

All cards should be formatted in the sensor unit before first-time use!

 INSERTING A CF CARD

1.Open the CF card slot cover on the sensor unit by insert- ing a thumb in the recess and then sliding it to the left.

2.Behind the cover, you will see a slot for the card (A) and a release button (B) below the slot.

3.Hold the compact-flash card so that the connector holes face into the slot and you can read the brand label when you are behind the camera. Gently press the card into the slot. If you encounter resistance, it might be because you are holding the card backwards or upside down.

4.If the card can be easily inserted nearly all the way into the back, then you are inserting it correctly. Press the card another couple of millimetres firmly into place.

5.Close the slot cover and slide it to the right to lock it.

 REMOVING A CF CARD

1.Open the CF card slot cover on the sensor unit.

2.Press the release button a little way in and then release it so that it extends a little out from the slot.

3.Press the now extended release button all the way back into the sensor unit again. Some force is required. As you do this, the card will be pushed out a few millimetres.

4.Grasp the card and pull it away from the sensor unit.

5.Close the slot cover shut again.

N o t e

Do not remove a CF card from the sensor unit if the ‘ready’ light is ORANGE !

All files on the card may become corrupted (and consequently lost) if you do so and new formatting may also be necessary.
