Requirements for CF and CFV Sensor Units on Different Hasselblad Cameras
A Flash sync input cable is necessary when using CF backs on Superwide, ArcBody,
FlexBody, 2000, 2003, 201, 203, and 205 cameras with C type lenses and 500, 501, and 503
model cameras. This cable is also needed with CFV backs on ArcBody, FlexBody, 2000, 2003,
201, 203, and 205 models with C type lenses.
When a 503CW model with a power winder and a CF or CFV digital back is used with
a computer, you must also use exposure cable 503CW. For computer control of EL, ELM, and
ELX models with CF and CFV digital backs you need exposure cable ELX. The above men-
tioned cables are also necessary with CF backs even if used without a computer.
Consult the Hasselblad Web site or the Hasselblad agent in your country for exact details
about using the CF digital back on other makes of medium-format or view cameras.
POWER SUPPLY
The digital sensor unit (digital back) on any Hasselblad camera model needs power even
when used on manually operated camera models. Whether you work in the studio or on loca-
tion, make certain that you have this power available for the entire shooting session.
On H3D Cameras
On H3D camera models, the batteries in the camera's power grip supply the necessary power
to the digital back or, when attached to a computer with the FireWire cable, the power comes
from the computer.
For CF and CFV Digital Backs
When the CF and CFV backs are connected to a computer via FireWire cable attached to the
socket on the side of the digital back, the power comes from the computer eliminating the
