Using The Import Window - Hasselblad CF DIGITAL CAMERA BACK RANGE User Manual

When shooting away from your computer, older Ixpress cameras save images
using a proprietary raw-file format on the Image Bank.
When you shoot connected to your computer, all of your shots are saved only
as 3F files on your hard disk. They are not saved on your CF card or Image
Bank.
When you connect your camera, camera back or image bank to your computer,
the Import window will usually appear automatically, showing the contents of
your camera or Image Bank.
Some cameras can be configured to look like standard hard disks when they
are connected to your computer. When configured in this way, the
window will not appear automatically. You must therefore open it manually
(for example, by selecting
navigate to the camera storage medium, which to your computer will look like
a hard disk.
During the import, your images will automatically be converted to 3F and
saved locally.
You can copy camera images using the computer file system rather than
FlexColor if you prefer (e.g., using a CF card reader rather than connecting the
camera). You must then use the
images to 3F.
