The H3D camera body is a robust construction of cast aluminium
with a stainless steel shell for extreme durability. The workings of
the camera are controlled by silicon technology that provides tre-
mendous opportunities for sophisticated operation. For example,
mirror return is slowed down at the last moment by controlling the
motor. Usage status of the camera body is automatically recorded
for service intervals and so on.
The integral ergonomic grip houses the main control interface
and also contains the battery holder. An auxiliary shutter in the
rear opening of the camera body protects the sensor unit from ex-
posure during the various camera procedures. The camera body
also contains the viewfinder screen, which can be easily removed
or exchanged without the use of special tools or adjustment
procedures.
Please take extra care when handling the camera body without a
protective cover or the sensor unit in place to protect the auxiliary
shutter. Likewise, the front opening of the camera body reveals the
mirror when unprotected by a cover or lens. Do not touch or at-
tempt to clean the mirror yourself—marks or dust particles will
not affect results in any case. More noticeable problems, however,
should be taken care of by a Hasselblad Authorized Service Center.
