Hasselblad CF22 CF39 - Manual (Page 47)


MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > Camera
The camera choices that appear on the menu are automatically restricted to the adapter you have
fitted. So, if you have have fitted an adapter specifically intended for Hasselblad models, then only
Hasselblad models will appear. The following is a description of settings and action needed when
working with the various Hasselblad models.
The exposure time set on a CF digital back sets the maximum length of exposure. The
default setting is 1/8 sec and this is the setting that can be kept for all exposures from 1/8
sec. However, this setting should be changed in accordance with the time required if it
exceeds 1/8 sec. Times of up to 32 seconds can be set.
If you prefer, you can connect the ‘Flash sync input cable’ between the lens PC socket
and a CF digital back which allows you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second while
still being able to use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This method also allows
the use of the B setting.

tings change. Don’t forget to change the setting if you change camera model!
