Hasselblad 503CW Instruction Manual

Pre-release
and
Cable
Release
Considerable
efforts
have
been
made
to reduce
camera
vibrations
caused
by moving parts
in the
exposure
sequence.
However,
if you
wish to
avoid
these
vibrations
completely, you
can
pre-release
the mechanism
by
pushing
the
pre-release
button
upwards.
This
causes
the following
sequence:
1) the
mirror
folds
up
2) the
shutter
closes
and remains
closed
3)
the diaphragm
closes
to lts
preset
aperture
4)
the auxiliary
shutter
opens
When
you
subsequently press
the
release
button,
only the
shutter
then
operates
at the
preset
speed.
As
shown in
the illustration,
you
can
also attach
a
cable release
to further
reduce
vibrations.
Double
Exposure
As
the
camera has
been
designed
to
prevent
acci-
dental
double
exposure you
will
have
to carry
out
the following
procedure
in
order
to make
multiple
exposures
on
the same
frame:
1)
Depress
the
main release
button
and make
the
initial
exposure.
2) Insert
the magazine
slide
and remove
the
mag-
az7ne.
3) Wind
the camera
with
one full revolution
of
the winding
crank.
4) Replace
the magazine
and remove
the slide.
The
unit is
now ready
to make
a second
exposure
on the
same frame.
You
can make
additional
exposures
in
the
same manner.
