The Hi»$selbiad 2000FC can be used with
electronic or expendable flash wiili F or
C (enses.
F lenses
The Hosselblad 2000FC has X synchrom-
zalion. Flash ■ units are triggered via tlic
camera’s recessed synchroniiatlon termi¬
nal (32, Fig. yi). The contact on the flash
unirs synch cord is pressed snth a twisting
motion into the flash tofinmaJ (32) on
the camera's left side. Tliis flash terminal
feaiirrcR a friedon device which keeps tbs
enrd contact firndy in place.
The Hassclblad 200DFC synchronizes with
ciccironic Vaski at shutter speeds of 1/90
s or longer (1/60 s, 1/30 s etc ). 1/90 s is
desigmitcd with a red V engraved on the
shutter speed ring between 60 and 125.
Flash operation at shutter speeds faster
than 1/90 s (e.g. 1/125 s) is automatically
blocked. Expendable flash, such av flash
cubes, can ^Iso be used at shutter speeds
of 1/io s or longer (i/l5 s, l/S s cic.)
C lenses (Fig, 38)
With a C lens on your 200()FC you can
elect to use tbc synchromzdlion available
via the lens or via the camera. When you
wori with the ieaf shutter in the C lens,
you have access to electronic flash syn¬
chronisation at all shutter speeds (1-1/500
s). The flash unit's synch cord contact is
attached to the flash tcnninal (F) on the
lens. The teafshutter's. X synchronization
setting (H) Is to he used for electronic
flash (at all shutter speeds) and even for
expendable flash (at shutter speeds up to
1/30 s). When the camera's shatter speed
ring (25) is set at C, the synch cord con¬
tact must Qtvays be connected to the
synchronization terminal (F) on the C
lem.
Tlic tea/shutter's M synchronization set¬
ting (C) rs onJyfor use yvith expendable flash
(e.g. flA»h bul1:« or cubes) at shutter speeds
fasterthna l/30s (l/dlH—l/500s).Thp M

MIRROR PROGRAMS
The BasseIblad 2000FC has three differ¬
ent progranis for mirror action. Programs
arc selected using che mirror program disc
(13, Fig. 39).
Setting 2 Instant return mirror (view¬
finder image restored instantly) after
camera release (with F tenses only).
Setting } Tlie mirror remains in ihc raised
position following camera release. Il flips
down, thereby restoring the viewfinder
image, when the film is advanced and the
slnitlcr cocked (with both F and C lenses).
Sefhng 0 Mirror locked in the raised posi¬
tion. The mirror flips down and the \icw-
finder image is restored only when an¬
other program is selected and the camera
)s cocked both F and C lenses).
Use a coin to rotate the mirror program
disc (13) nested within the unfolded crank
(2) to the desired program setting. When
(he disc has been correctly positioned, its
slot pointing towards the chosen mirror
setting, the red deicnl button in the middle
of the disc (13) will pop up again to the
same le\^I as the disc.

Setting 2—Instant return mirror (Fig. 40)
With mirror program 2. the mirror is
raised when the camera is triggered and
Flips dow'n again after conclndcdcxposuie.
The viewfinder image is therefore instant-
ly restored (with F lenses) and the dia¬
phragm reopens to its maximum aperture
after the exposure sequence.
(When C lenses are used with the 20(M)FC,
the viewfinder image Is not restored until
the fjini hi advanced and the shutter
cocked following an exposure.)
Changes from another mirror program
should be made with the camera in a
triggered state. This will also cause the
mirror to descend.
