The Viewfinder System

The 503CWD is supplied with a light, compact and
foldable viewfinder, providing a through-the-lens
laterally reversed image. It is easily interchange-
able with alternative viewfinders including the prism
finders, which produce a laterally corrected image.
Please see 'Accessories' for further details about
prism finders.
The focusing hood on the standard viewfinder has a built-in 4.5x magnifier for accurate focusing
and this can easily be changed to suit individual eyesight. The 503CWD is equipped with an Acute-
Matte D focusing screen which produces an exceptionally bright and sharp image. The markings on
the screen indicate the format of the sensor for correct composition with digital capture. While this
normally covers most needs, the Hasselblad system offers a range of alternative screens for various
specific applications. Each item is easily and quickly interchangeable without the need for special
tools or facilities.
Changing the focusing hood or viewfinder
To remove the focusing hood so as to attach any other viewfinder in the Hasselblad
system, proceed as follows:
1. Detach the digital back.
2. Fold down the focusing hood to protect it from damage and remove it by sliding it
to the rear in its guide slots.
3. Slide the replacement viewfinder into the slots and push it forward until it stops.
When fully inserted the viewfinder is retained in position by a spring-loaded catch until
you have reattached the magazine.
Changing the magnifier
Mounted lenses with dioptre correction from +3 to -4 are available, and are easily in-
terchanged as follows:
1. Remove the focusing hood from the camera and open it by lifting the lid.
2. Release the magnifier by pushing the catch to the right.
3. Push the magnifier halfway back down to its folded position.
