The Hasselblad 503CW uses lenses from the
Hasselblad C and CF series. These lenses have
built-in leaf shutters with speeds from ls to
1/500s and B. Flash synchronization occurs at full
shutter opening via the PC flash terminal. Suitable
electronic flash units can be used at all shutter
speeds from 1s -1l500s as well as B.

Infrared (IR) rays (wavelengths longer than 800
nm) form an image on a plane further away from
the lens than the image plane for visible light. To
compensate for this difference you have to align
the chosen distance against the red IR index and
not the normal central index. Proceed as follows:
1) Focus as usual on the focusing screen.
2) Note the distance on the focusing scale that is
opposite the central index line.
3) Now rotate the focusing ring to set this dis-
tance opposite the red IR index line instead
of the central index line.
