Hasselblad XPan II
Become familiar with the various components on
the camera by checking them against figs 1- 3 and
the component list. Avoid touching the lens surfac-
es and take care regarding the focal plane shutter
and format blind when opening the camera back.
Begin by loading the batteries so that you can go
through all the camera's functions. The XPan II is a
very simple camera to operate following well-es-
tablished routines and most photographers should
be able to successfully operate it straight away
without any problems.
The mode selector switch is the main ON/OFF
control, which activates the camera. Information
is provided by two LCD panels and an LCD display
in the viewfinder. Read quickly through the main
items in this manual for a general overview of
the information system and the mechanics of
the camera. Then read again more carefully the
relevant sections to gain a firmer understanding
of individual procedures. Fluency in operation of
the camera will allow you to concentrate more on
picture taking.
In the text, the main LCD on the back of the camera
is referred to as camLCD and the small exposure
counter LCD as expLCD and the viewfinder display
as viewLCD.
Positions of components and orientation are
described in relation to the camera as seen when
taking a photograph, i.e. with the lens at the front,
unless otherwise stated.
The relevant illustrations are indicated by the fig-
ures beside the small headings in the text.
Please read 'Film processing' before sending your
exposed film to a film laboratory.
