Hasselblad X1D manual Manual Exposure Mode

Functions

MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE

Manual mode provides total user control of the shutter and

aperture settings. In this mode the aperture settings and

shutter speed are manually chosen by turning the front and rear Exposure Modes scroll wheels.

The standard exposure setting is obtained when the pointer over the exposure scale is positioned above the central index (in the viewfinder display).

Any deviation from this standard setting is displayed by:

●● The pointer appearing elsewhere than above the central index

●● Figures above the scale representing the amount of adjustment in EV's.

A ‘+ 0.7’ above the scale in the display, would indicate a ‘0.7 EV overexposure’ setting. Conversely, a ‘-2’, for example, would indicate a ‘2EV underexposure’ setting. Note that the appearance of a +/- symbol on the display and in the viewfinder, in manual mode, means that a change has been made to the exposure compensation setting. See later section on Exposure compensation.

The actual aperture settings and shutter speeds are indicated to the right of the exposure scale in the conventional manner.

Note!

Full-stops, half-stops and third-stops are also displayed, according to setting (see increment setting). For example, a setting between f/8 and f/11 will appear as f/9,5 if half-stop is chosen.
