EQUIPMENT CARE & SERVICE
EQUIPMENT CARE
Hasselblad equipment is designed to withstand the rigors of professional
use in most environments. To avoid the possibility of damage however,
it should be protected from harsh conditions and in particular avoid oil
fumes, steam, humid conditions and dust.
Extremes of temperature: High temperatures can have an adverse ef-
fect equipment. Avoid frequent and severe temperature changes and be
particularly careful in humid environments. If entering damp or humid
conditions from dry and cold conditions, seal all equipment in a plastic
bag or similar first before entering and then wait until the equipment has
acclimatized to the new temperature before removing. Failure to do so
can cause condensation internally as well as externally which can lead to
problems particularly in regard to the CFV 50c. Try to ensure the environ-
ment or conditions are as dry as possible when storing.
Dust and grit: Take care to prevent dust and grit from getting into your
equipment. In coastal areas take measures to protect your equipment
from sand and salt water spray. Impact: Your equipment can be damaged
by severe physical shocks so practical protective precautions should be
taken. Some form of protective case or camera bag is advised for trans-
portation.
Loss: Hasselblad equipment is much sought after and you should take
obvious steps to prevent theft. Never leave it visible in an unattended car,
for example. Separate and specific camera insurance cover should be con-
sidered by professional users.
SERVICE
Return your equipment to a service centre for occasional checking and
preventive maintenance to ensure optimal reliability. You can easily keep
a check on service intervals by looking under 'Info' in the menu. If your
equipment is used constantly and intensively, regular periodic check-ups
are recommended at one of the Hasselblad Authorized Service Centers.
They have the expert staff and specialised equipment necessary to ensure
that your equipment remains in perfect working order.
CAUTION
• Keep all equipment and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
• Do not place heavy objects on the equipment.
• Do not use the batteries except as specified.
• Use only the batteries specified for use.
• Remove the batteries when cleaning the equipment or if you in-
tend to leave the equipment unused for a long period.
• Take particular care when working with strobe / studio flash units
to prevent damage to equipment and personal injury.
• Do not attempt to open the CFV 50c.
• Keep the CFV 50c and all other computer equipment away from
moisture. If the CFV 50c becomes wet, disconnect from power and
allow it to dry before attempting to operate again.
• Always replace the protective sensor/filter cover when the CFV 50c
is not connected to the camera.
• Never try to remove the glass IR filter from the front of the sensor
as this will probably ruin it. If dust manages to get between the
sensor and the IR filter, please contact your Hasselblad dealer for
assistance.
