Hasselblad H3DII User Manual

Computer system requirements
Digital les naturally end up on a computer for processing. Image-storage and
correction requires a certain minimum standard regarding computer capabilities.
Large images will require a high-performance computer with plenty of memory,
advanced graphics capabilities and a recent operating system. In most cases, the
computer should include a FireWire 800/400 connector, which will enable you
to load images directly from the camera or ImageBank-II (see note below). To
load images stored on the removable compact-ash card, you could instead use
a compact-ash card reader, but FireWire is recommended for maximum ex-
ibility.
Warnings and restrictions
■ If you want to power the H3D II from a PC laptop (as opposed to a Macintosh laptop),
you must ensure that the FireWire port on the computer is capable of supplying power.
Please note the following:
• Most recent Macintosh computers are compatible, both desktops and laptops.
• Most recent desktop PC computers are compatible.
• Most laptop PC computers are NOT compatible (but can be modified in many
cases).
■ Keep the H3D II and all other computer equipment away from moisture wherever
possible. If your camera becomes wet, disconnect from power and allow it to dry before
attempting to operate again.
■ Always take great care when you remove the digital capture unit for cleaning
—the exposed CCD sensor protective lter is vulnerable to damage.
■ Keep all cables connected to or from your camera and computer out of the way where
they will not be tripped over.
■ Ensure the ventilation openings remain uncoverd on the digital capture unit when it is
active.
■ Your new Hasselblad camera may have been supplied in kit form or as separate items.
There are a number of possible combinations depending on factors such as oers, bun-
dles etc. Please ensure that all the items noted on the accompanying packing informa-
tion have been supplied and are correct.
■ Contact your Hasselblad dealer or distributor immediately if anything is missing or
seems faulty in any way, quoting the serial numbers and purchase details where
appropriate.
■ Please keep purchase details and the warranty in a safe place.
■ Familiarise yourself with the various parts and components. Leave protective covers
on as much as possible and avoid touching glass surfaces and inserting ngers into
the camera body. Hasselblad equipmentthas a robust construction and is capable of
withstanding fairly rough treatment but nevertheless is a precision instrument and will
serve you longer if treated with respect from the beginning.
