All Hasselblad V-system cameras can communicate with the 503CWD digital back
without the need for extra cable connections except:
• Unmodified 200 series models using CF lenses in C-mode
• ArcBody
• Flexbody
View cameras (with the appropriate adapter and cables) can also be used.
The exposure time set on the 503CWD digital back sets the maximum length of exposure.
The default setting is 1/8 sec and this is the setting that can be kept for all exposures from
1/8 sec through 1/2000sec. However, this setting should be changed in accordance with
the time required if it exceeds 1/8 sec. Times of up to 32 seconds can be set.
If you prefer, you can connect the ‘Flash sync input cable’ between the lens PC socket and
the 503CWD digital back which allows you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second
while still being able to use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This method also
allows the use of the B setting.
