Changing The Focusing Screen; Winding Crank (503Cw Only); Accessories - Hasselblad 501CM User Manual

Changing the focusing screen

1. Detach the magazine and viewfinder.
2. Push the two screen clips to the side into their
recesses.
3. Place your hand over the screen, and invert
the camera. The screen will now drop into
your hand.
4. Insert the replacement screen, ensuring that
the smooth f lat side is uppermost and the
sharp-edged corners down. Ensure that all
four corners of the screen are positively seat-
ed on their supports.
You need not return the screen latches. This is
done automatically when the viewfinder is re-
placed.
Should the screen refuse to drop out by itself,
ensure that the camera is fully wound, remove
the lens and check that the mirror is in the
down position. Put a finger through the lens
mount and push gently on the screen from un-
derneath, preferably with a soft cloth between
the screen and the finger.
Do not immerse the screen in water, or use any
!
kind of cleaning fluid.
Do not use hot air to dry the screen if it becomes
!
damp.

Winding crank (503CW only)

The winding crank on the 503CW can be re-
moved. Push the catch lever downwards while
rotating the crank counter-clockwise and pull
16
the crank straight out from the shaft. To at-
45, 46
tach it, align the small triangular index mark
against the red dot on the camera body. Keep
the crank pushed against the camera while
turning it clockwise until the larger triangular
mark is aligned with the red dot where it will
click into position.
