Viewfinder screen 14, 15, 16
The H3D is fitted with a Spherical Acute-Matte D viewfinder screen
for extreme brightness, clarity and even illumination. An optional
accessory screen with a grid pattern is also available.
To change a viewfinder screen, remove the viewfinder to access
the viewfinder screen. To remove the screen, place the tip of a
ballpoint pen or similar in the viewfinder screen removal lug and
pull upwards. To replace the screen, position the right side of the
screen in place so that it sits correctly in the recess. Place the tip
of a ballpoint pen or similar in the viewfinder screen replacement
indentation and press downwards until the screen snaps into
position. Try to avoid touching either surface of the screen with
bare fingers.
Do not attempt to clean the screen by immersing it in water,
or use any kind of cleaning fluid. If the screen becomes damp,
do not use hot air to dry it. Use a soft cloth on the upper sur-
face only. Seek advice from an Authorized Hasselblad Service
Center if the screen becomes particularly soiled. Remember
that particles or greasy marks on the screen might impair the
viewfinder image but have no effect whatsoever on the recorded
image.
Accessory connection 16, 17
On the left hand side of the camera body are two accessory retaining
screw threads (M5), as well as a databus connector, protected be-
neath a cover. The screw threads are a future-safe design feature for
new products while the connector is for service purposes only.
The cover can be removed by inserting a pointed object, such as
a pen, in the small hole and then sliding it to the left, as in the il-
lustration. The retaining clip can then also be removed to access
the connector.
PC-connector
A PC connector for non TTL-flash synchronisation is located on
the left side of the body. It is protected by a captive rubber plug.
Protective base plate 18, 19
To attach the protective base plate, slip it over the camera foot
until it stops. To remove it, lift the securing catch while pushing
the plate back as in the illustration.
