About this manual
This manual describes how to work with
Hasselblad 503CW/503CWD model cameras
and Hasselblad CFV digital backs. CFV-39 and the
CFV-50 digital backs are the currently available
models and are therefore reflected in this manual
together with the current firmware update (as
of 09/2011). Please refer to previous manuals
for details concerning older firmware versions.
The manual explains specific practical aspects of
camera operation and control, the menu system
and suchlike details regarding these products.
It is assumed that reasonable levels of general
analogue and digital photographic knowledge
as well as computer skills are already acquired,
so these are not dealt with here.
