WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS • If you want to power the H5D 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.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY GRIP The environmentally approved Battery grip Li-ion (3043356) is the standard power source for the H5D camera. The H5D requires a power supply for all actions as there is no me- chanical reserve facility. When working untethered, it is therefore advisable to keep a reserve rechargeable battery grip at hand.
Page 21: Charging The Battery
  CHARGING THE BATTERY With the battery removed from the camera, insert the jack plug from the battery charger into the socket on the battery grip. Insert the battery charger into a standard (100–240V~ /50–60 Hz) domestic socket. During the charging procedure, the lamp on the charger signifies the following: N o t e ...

Page 23: Power Modes
  POWER MODES The H5D can be set at three active modes − ON, Display Off and Sleep. In these active modes, battery consumption is least in Sleep mode and most in ON mode. Both the grip and the sensor unit displays are dimmed accordingly. How-...
Page 24: Eyepiece Adjustment
  RUBBER EYE CUP Two rubber eye cups are available for the H5D. The one sup- plied is suitable for users who do not intend to use eyeglass- es when photographing. The second shorter eye cup is for those who either prefer to position their eye further from the viewfinder and those who wish to wear eyeglasses.

4 /60MBs (400x) or better. Please see the Appendix in this manual for a list of recom- mended cards. The H5D is shipped with an 8GB (or larger) compact-flash card, which is capable of holding approximately 50 − 100 captures (according to model). Lossless compression is applied to the images, so the actual size of each capture can vary, thereby affecting the total number of shots you can fit on the card.
Page 26: Format Ting Cf Cards
In either case, you must reformat a CF card in the sensor unit for H5D use.   FORMAT BUTTON Press the Format button on the camera grip. It is purposely recessed to avoid unintentional use, so use a ball-point pen or similar.

(typically by way of Phocus) to obtain complete development. If developed in Phocus, 3FR files become Hasselblad 3F files – denoted by each file now bearing the suffix “.fff”. If developed by other RAW proces- sors, the 3FR files are not converted to 3F but can be exported directly to TIFF, PSD etc according to requirements.

Phocus combines with Hasselblad Natural Color Solution the result is exactly what you would expect from Hasselblad – (HNCS) and Digital Auto Correction (DAC) to provide ultimate simply stunning image quality.

FOCUS ASSIST As well as the conventional view on the focusing screen to ensure a sharp image, the H5D also features an LED focus assist capability appearing as two arrowheads Lens focus setting too to the right of the viewfinder display (except for lenses with a maximum aperture far beyond the distance of f/6.7 or smaller).
Page 34 However, a warning is dis- played which disappears after confirmation. T i p To expand your range of lenses, consider using a CF adapter to allow you to use most of the lenses from the Hasselblad V- system.
Page 35: Manual Focus
  MANUAL FOCUS There is both a Manual focus mode setting and a manual override capability. Front scroll Manual focus is a specific setting that you actively make, whereas manual over- wheel ride is always available as a temporary override of an autofocus setting. SAVE In Manual focus mode, focusing is carried out by rotating the focusing ring in the conventional manner.
Page 36: Single Shot
  SINGLE SHOT At Single Shot setting (AF S), the shutter release will be blocked until the camera finds the optimum focus setting. This ensures that no captures can be made that are not finely focused. However, this delay will normally be only a fraction of a second in good lighting conditions with a clear focusing pattern.
Page 37: True Focus, Absolute Position Lock
True Focus uses yaw rate technology and by way of the Absolute Position Lock (APL) processor, logs camera movement as the basis for an extremely rapid compensatory focus reset without any shutter lag. The H5D’s firmware then further perfects the focus using the precise data retrieval system found on all HC/HCD lenses.
Page 38: True Focus And Camera Handling
  TRUE FOCUS AND CAMERA HANDLING To obtain the maximum benefit from True Focus you should ✘ try to work within the requirements of the system. This might need a little practice but it will improve the accuracy of the measurements and thereby provide better results. Firstly, try to remain as still as possible when making the first True Focus measurement and wait for the audio signal or ready light to show green again before continuing.
Page 39: True Focus, Four Methods
FOUR TRUE FOCUS METHODS ACTIVATED BY SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON – TRUE FOCUS RETAINED MENU > SETTINGS > CUSTOM OPTIONS > # 31 In this mode the autofocus function is effectively converted into the True Focus function. That is, focus is set by half-pressing the shutter release button.
Page 40 FOUR TRUE FOCUS METHODS – CONT ACTIVATED BY TRUE FOCUS BUTTON – AUTOFOCUS DEACTIVATED In this mode the True Focus function is activated by pressing the True Focus button. Normal autofocus is de-activated, therefore, pressing the shutter release button will not reset the focus. Useful when many shots are required with the same focus setting.
Page 42: Iso & White Balance On Grip
  ISO & WHITE BALANCE Both ISO and White Balance can be set either via the grip, the sensor unit or, when tethered, via Phocus. On the grip, the ISO/WB button provides immediate access to ISO and White Balance settings. The front and rear scroll wheels are used to make the desired changes.
