The H1D can be used together with most flash units. Connection is either by the PC socket or by
the hot shoe if the unit is compatible (see note below).
The viewfinder houses an integral fill-flash with a guide number of 12 and features OTF/TTL
flash control. This unit is capable of providing enough illumination for simple indoor shots at
shorter distances as well as many fill flash functions outdoors. Flash output can be adjusted
separately from ambient exposure for optimum control. Separate flash units can be used in
dedicated mode when connected to the hot shoe if the unit is compatible with the SCA3002
(Metz) system using a Hasselblad SCA3902 adapter. This provides a cable free link up for in-
formation transfer.
Automatic flash works equally well with digital capture as well as film backs.
Flash synchronisation can be set to normal or rear (the beginning or end of an exposure).
Please see the relevant user manuals for information regarding separate flash units.

As with all strobe/studio flash use, very particular attention should be taken to ensure cor-

AB can accept no responsibility whatsoever for accidents that might occur when Hasselblad
equipment is used in combination with third-party units of any description.
