Exposure Cable 503
Hasselblad 503CW plus winder CW
Adapter EL
All Hasselblad EL models
Exposure Cable EL
All Hasselblad EL models except ELD
The exposure time set on the CFV sets the maximum length of exposure. The default set-
ting is 1/8 sec and this is the setting that can be kept for all exposures from 1/8 sec through
1/2000sec. However, this setting should be changed in accordance with the time required
if it exceeds 1/8 sec. Times of up to 32 seconds can be set.
If you prefer, you can connect the 'Flash sync input cable' between the lens PC socket and
the CFV which allows you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second while still being able to
use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This method also allows the use of the B setting.
Model setting variations
Look in the list below for the camera model you are using and make the appropriate set-
tings change. Don't forget to change the setting if you change camera model!
Winder CW
For use with 503 CW models:
• Make a Winder CW setting.
• If you want to control the camera from Phocus, connect the 'Exposure cable 503´ between
the CFV and the Winder CW as in the illustration.
• Do not use the winder at rapid sequence setting.
ELD
For use with ELD models:
• Make an ELD setting.
• A B setting exposure can be made by choosing the 'Bulb' in the 'Exposure Time' setting. The
maximum exposure time remains at 32 seconds however.
• Only the single shot function (A or AS mode camera settings) should be set on the camera.
Rapid sequence shots are not possible.
• Use the Adapter EL (supplied) to provide the necesssary extension beyond the motor housing of
the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to the CFV in the same manner as a battery,
and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the illustration.
ELX
For use with 500EL/ELM and 500/553ELX models:
• Make an ELX setting.
• The Exposure Cable EL (supplied) should be connected.
• All exposures times, including the B setting, function correctly without having to alter the
"Exposure Time" setting.
• Rapid sequence shots are not possible.
• Use the Adapter EL (supplied) to provide the necesssary extension beyond the motor housing of
the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to the CFV in the same manner as a battery,
and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the illustration.
Pinhole
For use with lenses/cameras with no shutter. Intended primarily for use in a studio environ-
ment where complete darkness can be achieved and exposures made accordingly (also
useful for 'light painting'). In this mode the CFV uses the exposure time (as well as other
required stages in a capture sequence) set in the Capture Sequence dialog. The CFV can be
triggered either via the START (MENU/EXIT) button or from Phocus (see later section for full
description of Capture Sequence settings procedure).
