Using Instant Approval Architec Ture - Hasselblad CF DIGITAL CAMERA BACK RANGE User Manual

Using Instant Approval Architecture
The Instant Approval Architecture system helps you to classify your images as quickly as
you take them. It works by supplying immediate audio feedback, which tells you instantly
whether each new picture is exposed correctly or likely to be over- or underexposed.
Thereafter, the system enables you to assign each image one of three status levels. Though
you can use the system any way you like, the intention (based on the 'traffic light' conven-
tion) is that you should assign the levels as follows:
• GREEN for your best shots.
• YELLOW ( AMBER )
• RED for images that should probably not be used.

Please note, when the current storage medium is full, red-status images will be de-
leted (one at a time) to make room for new shots. You can continue shooting until no
red-status images remain; if you then try to take additional new shots you will get a
medium-full message.

Please note the two different actions of pressing (or quickly clicking) the approve but-
ton to change the status and pressing and holding to change the browse filter!
One of the greatest advantages of digital photography compared to film is that it costs
no more to shoot 100 images that it does to shoot one. Photographers therefore tend to
take many more pictures when shooting digitally. By assigning approval levels as you
work, it can be much easier to sort through and select images when you get back to your
computer.
Standard Instant Approval workflow
The standard method of working with the Instant Approval Architecture is as follows:
1. Take a shot.
2. The camera analyzes the shot to find out if it seems to be over- or underexposed. If it
suspects a problem, it does the following:
