Getting Started
This chapter deals with getting to know the various items in
your equipment, their fitting and function. The ArcBody is
supplied with a front protective cover and a Rear cover
MultiControl. When storing the ArcBody without lens or fo-
cusing screen adapter it is advisable to keep the covers in
place for protection. Set up the ArcBody on a tripod or cam-
era stand and proceed as follows:
Front protective cover
Turn the cover (bayonet fitting) in the direction of
the arrow in the illustration, and lift it out. To avoid
leaving the camera body unprotected, do not re-
move the cover until you are ready to attach a lens.
Reattach by fitting and turning clockwise.
Rear cover MultiControl
While depressing the top section, tilt the cover
backwards, and lift it off. To avoid leaving the cam-
era body unprotected, do not remove the cover un-
til you are ready to attach the focusing screen
adapter or a
magazine.
Attaching a lens
Align the red index on the lens with the index on
the camera body as in the illustration and allow it
to drop into the bayonet fitting. Rotate it clockwise
until it stops with a faint click as the lens catch
locks it into place.
Only Rodenstock lenses with a
Hasselblad bayonet fitting can be
used with the ArcBody.
Always use an ArcBody camera and
lens front protective cover (57692)
with Rodenstock lenses and not con-
ventional Hasselblad front pro tective
covers.
