Hasselblad H4D200MS user manual Grip Buttons and Controls, Example

GRIP BUTTONS AND CONTROLS

Note that some of the buttons are modal and so have multiple functions according to the setting be- ing made.

1  Shutter release button

This button has half-press and full-press positions. By pressing half-way (or softly) the camera, auto focus function and exposure meter can be activated. By pressing all the way down (or more firmly) the shutter will be released (or the chosen exposure procedure for example, the self timer is activated with this but- ton).

2  Front scroll wheel

The front and rear scroll wheels are used to make changes in exposure settings, provide access to the grip menu for settings, navigate the sensor unit’s menu as well as acting as browse controls. The effect of the wheels’ direction is customizable.

3  FLASH / (Control Lock) button) / (EXIT)

This is a triple function button. If you press the button for one second, the beeper will sound (if set) and a key symbol will appear on the grip display signifying that the controls (except the shutter release) have been locked and therefore cannot be altered unintention- ally in use. Press the button for one second again to unlock (this function can be altered to lock all controls or scroll wheels only in Custom Options #18 on grip). Quickly clicking the button will access the flash set- tings information on the display from the main screen. See under Flash /Strobe - controls and displays for full details.

This button also acts as the EXIT button for many other settings including an EXIT button when navi- gating the sensor unit menu.

This is a triple function button. Press this button to directly access the autofocus/manual focus choice screen from the main screen. See under Lenses for full details. It also acts as the ON and SEL. (= select) but- tons for many other settings.

5  ISO/WB button  /  (SAVE)  /  (ENTER)

This is a triple function button. It provides direct ac- cess to the ISO and White Balance settings (see under Light Metering & Exposure Control for full details).

A quick ‘click’ on the button will access the Profiles feature (see later section for deatils).
