Operating Instructions
very care-
fully. This will enable you to use the camera to best advantage and it will prevent disruptions that may result
from improper operation.
1.1.1 Range of applications
The Sinar arTec camera is a professional camera system that was designed specifically for digital architectural
and landscape photography. It features a viewing- and an exposure position. The viewing position is used for
composing the image precisely on the focusing screen and the exposure position is then used for making the
actual photograph. To change from the viewing position to the exposure position, a slider is moved to the
right, so that the digital back will “see” the exact same image that you composed on the focusing screen.
The
Sinar arTec Hy6
version can be used with Sinar or Leaf digital backs that are equipped with Sinar Hy6 or
Leaf AFi interfaces, respectively.
The Sinar Rotation Adapter enables you to change from the vertical to the horizontal format without having to
remove the digital back, which guarantees a secure and
dust-free
operation.
The
Sinar arTec HB-V
version can be used with Sinar, Hasselblad, Leaf or Phase One digital backs that are
equipped with a Hasselblad V camera interface.
