The HI camera body is a robust construction of cast aluminium with
a stainless steel shell for extreme durability. The workings of the
camera are controlled by silicon chips that provide tremendous op-
portunities for sophisticated operation. To take just two examples,
the mirror return is slowed down at the last moment by controlling
the motor to decrease vibrations and the current usage of the cam-
era, lenses, film magazines, etc is recorded and freely accessible for
service intervals, etc.
The integral ergonomic grip houses the main control interface and
also contains the battery holder. An auxiliary shutter in the rear
opening of the camera body protects the film from exposure during
the various camera procedures. Please take extra care when handling
the camera body without protective cover or magazine in place to
protect the auxiliary shutter. Likewise, the front opening of the cam-
era body reveals the mirror when unprotected by a cover or lens. Do
not touch or attempt to clean the mirror. Slight marks or some dust
particles on the mirror will not affect results. More noticeable prob-
lems, however, should be taken care of by a Hasselblad Authorized
Service Center. The camera body also contains the viewfinder screen,
which can be easily removed or exchanged without the use of special
tools or adjustment procedures.
