Setting Aperture And Shutter Speeds - Hasselblad Digital Camera Manual

The IR remote release. (1) Release button, (2) IR windows, (3) mode selector, and (4)
battery compartment.
The remote control uses one CR2 battery. To save battery power, the mode selector
should be set back to L or to S, C, or M as soon as the remote release is no longer used.
The IR remote must be coded to the specifi c motor winder on the camera. Set the mode
selector to RC, aim the IR windows in the remote control at one of the IR sensors in the
motor, and press both the release in the remote control and the release in the motor at
the same time for three or four seconds. If you want to operate more than one camera from
one release, code each motor with the remote release in the same fashion.

SETTING APERTURE AND SHUTTER SPEEDS

CFi and CFE Lenses
On CF, CFi, and CFE shutter lenses shown in Figure 9-6 you set and change the aperture, the
shutter speed, or the EV value by turning either the aperture and/or the shutter speed ring.
The aperture can be set at the engraved fi gures or between for ½ stop settings. The shutter
speed ring must be set at the engraved fi gures. To interlock the two rings, you press the aper-
ture/shutter speed interlock control. The shutter speed ring stops at B. To move the ring to F
for using the focal plane shutter or out of F, press the locking button, which is green on CF
lenses and orange on the CFi and CFE types. The aperture can be manually closed down as
shown in Figure 9-7 so you can evaluate the image on the focusing screen at different aper-
ture settings. Figure 9-7 also shows the fl ash cable lock on the latest lenses.
When any type of shutter lens is set to shutter speeds 1, 2, and 4 (corresponding to
1-second, ½-second, and ¼-second shutter speeds), you must keep the camera release pressed
until you hear the sound of the shutter closing; otherwise, the rear curtain closes before the
exposure cycle is fi nished. This also applies to focal plane shutter camera models when
the exposure is made with the shutter in the lens. The focal plane curtain functions like the
auxiliary shutter. The release cycle illustrated in Figure 9-8 shows why this is necessary.
