(FiS.

The
curtains of the
focal
plane
shutter
(D)
can be seen through
the opening
in
the camera b,ody
rear
plate.
These curtains
are
mad,e of tough but extremely
thin
titanium
(13/
1000 mm)
and
must be
pro-
tected
against any
damage.
So
always
use
a
protective
cover
when there
is no
magazine
on the
camera.
NOTE:
The
MagaTine 80
f
or Polaroid
film
must
not be
used
with
the Hasselblad
2000FC
since
its
projecting
glass
plate
will destroy the
shutter curtains.
Gear
(C)
actuates film advance in
the mag-
azine. The
pin
(E)
actuates the
film ad-
vance
indicator
(8)
and the
double
expo-
sure
prevention
detent. Make
sure
(C)
and
(E)
are kept
free
from
dust and dirt
which
could hamper
their
important
functions.
Camera
release
(Fig.
46)
Pressing
the
release
button
(
14)
triggers
a sequence
of operations. While
part
of
this
sequence is
predetermined
by the
photographer (selection
of
shutter
speed,
diaphragm
and
mirror
action
program),
part
of
it
is
governed
by
internal camera
mechanisms
(stopping
down to
a
prese-
lected
aper,ture,
film
indication
changes
and reopening
of the
diaphragm
to
maxi-
mum
aperture
after exposure).
A
cable release
should be used to trigger
the
camera
when long
shutter speeds are
employed.
The
camera should
then be
mounted
on
a sturdy
tripod.
NOTE:
IVhen
the leaf
shutters of C lenses
are
used
at
long
shutter
speeds
(l/
4
s or
Ionger), the
camera's
release
button
must
be
kept depressed
until
the exposure
has
terminated
fully.
If
the
release
button
is
released
too
soon,
the
focal
plane
shutter
will
interrupt
the exposure
before
the
leaf
shutter
has finished
working.
Pre-release
operation
(Fig.
47)
Pressing
the
pre-release
latch
(
1 1) to
the
rear
pre-releases
a
number
of
camera
operations
which
make
up
the
normal
release sequence.
Pre-release
leaves only
one
such
operation,
actual
shutter release,
to
be
carried
out
when the
release button
is
pressed.
The
shutter
producing
the
exposure
is the
focal
plane
shutter
with
F
lenses
and
the'
leaf
shutter
when C
lenses are
used.
The
pre-release
of certain
camera
func-
tions
reduces
camera
reaction
time
to a
bare
minimum.
Blurring
due
to
camera
motion
is
also
reduced to
a
minimum.
