The Hasselblad XPan Panoramic Cameras 391
POWER SUPPLY
The XPan camera’s built-in motor is powered from two 3 V lithium batteries type CR-2. Two
fresh batteries will provide power for about 3,000 exposures with battery condition indi-
cated in the viewfi nder (see Figure 20-3). The camera does not operate without batteries.

Figure 20-3 Batteries and battery checking. The CR-2 batteries are inserted after the cover is
removed using a small coin. The battery condition shown in (2) after the mode selector is set
to S. The batteries are in good condition (top), the batteries are low (center), and the batteries
are exhausted (bottom).
You turn on the power by moving the mode selector to either S (for single pictures),
C (for sequences), or to the self-timer symbol (see Figure 20-4). To save power, the camera
switches automatically to a standby mode after three minutes. Set the mode selector to OFF
whenever the camera is stored or not used for longer periods of time.
