Hasselblad 503CW - Attaching and Removing Back; Batches; Current Batch

56
Current batch
The camera always works with a current batch. This is the location
at which the camera will save all new shots and the natural location
in which you can browse using the navigator. A newly created batch
automatically becomes the current batch. You can browse any batch
but not reassign them as target folders to store new files.
When tethered, the equivalent of a new batch is automatically cre-
ated in Phocus.
Batches
When working untethered, captures are stored in named and dated
folders called batches on a CF card. They help you to organize your
shots as you work and function exactly as folders on a computer.
Batches have the following properties:
