Why doesn't my Hasselblad XPAN II Film Camera react when I press the release button?
If your Hasselblad Film Camera doesn't react when you press the release button, it might be because the mode selector is in the 'OFF' position. Set the mode selector to 'ON'. Alternatively, the batteries may be omitted or exhausted. Try inserting new batteries.
Why is my whole film under/overexposed with my Hasselblad Film Camera?
If the whole film is under or overexposed on your Hasselblad Film Camera, it could be due to a manual film speed (ISO) set incorrectly. Make sure to set the manual film speed (ISO) correctly. Another cause might be that the exposure compensation is not set at zero; in that case, set it to zero.
What to do if new film has not wound on to first frame on Hasselblad XPAN II?
If the new film hasn't wound onto the first frame in your Hasselblad Film Camera, it might be because the film tip was incorrectly positioned before closing the camera back. Ensure you correctly position the film tip before closing the camera back. It could also be because the ISO setting is set to DX position with a non-DX coded film cassette. Try using a DX coded film cassette.
