Computer System Requirements; Before You Start - Hasselblad CF DIGITAL CAMERA BACK RANGE User Manual

Warnings and restrictions
• If you want to power the back from a PC laptop (as opposed to a Macintosh laptop), you must ensure that the FireWire port
on the computer is capable of supplying power.
• Keep the digital back (and all computer equipment) away from moisture wherever possible. If your camera becomes wet,
disconnect from power and allow it to dry before attempting to operate again.
• Always take great care when you remove the sensor back for cleaning—the exposed CCD sensor protective filter is vulnerable
to damage.
• Keep all cables connected to or from your camera and computer out of the way where they will not be tripped over.
• Never cover the ventilation openings on a CF digital back when it is running.

Before you start

Leave protective covers on as much as possible. A CF digital back, in line with all Hasselblad products, has a robust construction and
is capable of withstanding fairly rough treatment but nevertheless is a precision instrument and will serve you longer if treated with
respect from the beginning. Please keep purchase details and the warranty in a safe place.
In addition to the digital back itself, a CF User Manual CD, the FlexColor sofware CD and a FlexColor user manual CD, the items illustrated below
are also included. If anything is missing or seems faulty in any way then you should contact your Hasselblad dealer immediately.
CF-Flash card
FireWire cable

Computer system requirements

Digital files naturally end up on a computer for processing. Image-storage and correction
requires a certain minimum standard regarding computer capabilities. Large images
will require a high-performance computer with plenty of memory, advanced graphics
capabilities and a recent operating system. In most cases, the computer should include
a FireWire 800/400 connector, which will enable you to load images directly from the
camera or ImageBank-II. To load images stored on the removable compact-flash card,
you could instead use a compact-flash card reader, but FireWire is recommended for
maximum flexibility.
A CF digital back saves images as 3FR files which are Hasselblad raw digital-camera
capture standards. From FlexColor, you can optimize the files and export them into other
formats. A CF digital back includes the Hasselblad FlexColor image-capture and editing
application and native versions of FlexColor are provided for both Macintosh and Windows
platforms. Please see the FlexColor manual for complete system requirements.
