15. Attach a fully-charged battery to the Image Bank by placing it in the
central depression and then pushing it towards the electrical contacts
until it clicks into place.
16. Take one end of the Link Cable and attach it to the socket on the Image
Bank. Rotate the connector a little until the pins find the correct posi-
tion, then push the connector into place.
17. Attach the other end of the cable to the socket on the sensor unit of the
camera in the same manner.
18. Press the ON/OFF button on the Image Bank (please remember this rou-
tine sequence). After a few seconds the indicator lamp beside the button
should display green to indicate correct function.
19. Press the ON.OFF button on the camera grip for half a second to activate
the camera. If the camera was already activated but in STANDBY mode,
it will now automatically be reactivated by the image bank being acti-
vated.
If the camera enters STANDBY mode (the LCD screen will show the H1D
symbol only), reactivate it by pressing the shutter release button half-
way (or the ON.OFF button or Stop down button).
You can now explore the menus, buttons, control
wheels, etc observing the changes on the LCD on the
grip as well as the LCD in the viewfinder.

20. From the inactive mode, press the ON.OFF button until you see the H1D
logo on the grip LCD. The LCD then in turn displays the ‘standard’ screen.
If the camera is already in STANDBY mode (the H1D logo will be visible
on the grip LCD) click on either the shutter release button or the ON.OFF
button to activate it again. (Note that a ‘click’ action is a quick press. See
later section for a description of different button pressing actions)
Your Hasselblad H1D is now operational in fully auto-
matic, untethered mode. In average lighting conditions
the camera will act as a point and shoot camera produc-
ing extremely fine results without the need to touch any
other button than the shutter release!
21. After composing your picture, gently press the shutter release button.
The camera will automatically focus the lens, take a light reading, make
an exposure and reset the camera ready for the next exposure.
22. If the exposure was judged as correct by the sensor unit, you will hear a
short indicating sound. The image will also appear on the rear LCD.
that’s it ...
The image is now stored in the Image Bank until trans-
ferred or deleted.
