on the battery. This is the normal mode when transporting or
storing the camera or where there might be a risk of inadver-
tently activating the camera. (However, remove the batteries if
you are going to store the camera for a period of more than a
few weeks).
In this mode neither the viewfinder display nor grip display infor-
mation is available.
Viewfinder screen
The H4D is fitted with a Spherical Acute-Matte D viewfinder screen
for extreme brightness, clarity and even illumination. An optional
accessory screen with a grid pattern is also available.
To change a viewfinder screen, remove the viewfinder to access
the viewfinder screen. To remove the screen, place the tip of a
ballpoint pen or similar in the viewfinder screen removal lug and
pull upwards. To replace the screen, position the right side of the
screen in place so that it sits correctly in the recess. Place the tip
of a ballpoint pen or similar in the viewfinder screen replacement
indentation and press downwards until the screen snaps into po-
sition. Try to avoid touching either surface of the screen with bare
fingers.
Do not attempt to clean the screen by immersing it in water, or
use any kind of cleaning fluid. If the screen becomes damp, do
not use hot air to dry it. Use a soft cloth on the upper surface
only. Seek advice from an Authorized Hasselblad Service Center
if the screen becomes particularly soiled. Remember that parti-
cles or greasy marks on the screen might impair the viewfinder
image but have no effect whatsoever on the recorded image.
Accessory connection
On the left hand side of the camera body are two accessory-re-
taining screw threads (M5), as well as a databus connector, pro-
tected beneath a cover.
The cover can be removed by inserting a pointed object, such
as a pen, in the small hole and then sliding it to the left, as in the
illustration. The cover-retaining clip can then also be removed to
access the connector.
PC-connector
A PC connector for non TTL-flash synchronisation is located on
the left side of the body. It is protected by a captive rubber plug.
Protective base plate
To attach the protective base plate, slip it over the camera foot
until it stops. To remove it, lift the securing catch while pushing
the plate back as in the illustration.
