  • Page 18 AT TAC H TH E C F V TO TH E C A ME R A Prepare the camera by first removing the film magazine. (A) This is to shorten the time needed to attach the CFV in order to collect as little dust as possible on the sensor. Note! If this is the first time the CFV is used, please remove the protective film from the sensor before attaching to the camera. Remove the protective cover from the CFV by sliding the Lock Button to the left (the protective cover is facing you). Swing the cover free from the CFV and put it aside. (B) To minimize dust on the sensor, try to keep the time until you have attached the CFV to the camera, as short as possible. Also perform this procedure in a dust free environment. Attach the CFV to the camera in the same way as a normal film magazine. Hold the lock button in the open position (C) until the CFV is fully mounted on the camera, then release the lock button (D). Make sure the CFV is securely fixed to the camera. CFV II 50C USER GUIDE CONTENTS www.hasselblad.com...

Please study the separate Phocus user guide for more information. 8 One unique tool is the lens correction tool where you can correct the image from any distortion, chromatic aberration or vignetting. Simply enter a few parameters for the lens in the lens correction tool. The image will then be corrected for any distortion, lateral chromatic aberration and vignetting. As an alternative you can also use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop to directly open the images from the card. In this case you will however, lose the possibility to correct the images for any lens distortion, vignetting or chromatic aberration. CFV II 50C USER GUIDE CONTENTS www.hasselblad.com...
