Most ﬂash units are suitable for use with the 503CWD. However, for the sake of safety, care should be
taken when using studio ﬂash units (strobe) and tethered to a stationary computer.

Portable units

Attach the ﬂash sync cable to the lens (or camera body if you ae using the 503CWD digtial

back on a Hasselblad 200 series model) and make the appropriate settings according to

the unit.
This also applies when using studio units when:

a) tethered to a computer not connected to a regular electricity supply system.

or

b) tethered to an Imagebank or laptop computer running on batteries.

With studio type ﬂash units (strobe) and tethered to a computer

If the 503CWD is tethered to a computer that is connected to a regular electricity supply

system as well as a studio ﬂash/strobe unit that is also connected to a regular electricity

supply system/generator system, then make the following connections instead:
a) Connect the

ﬂash sync input cable

from the sync contact (PC connector) on the lens

to the

ﬂash sync IN terminal

on the back.

b) Connect the

ﬂash sync output cable

from the

ﬂash sync OUT terminal

on the back

to a regular ﬂash sync cable that is connected to the unit.

TTL function

The reﬂective characteristics of the digital sensor are diﬀerent to ﬁlm surface charac-

teristics for which the TTL function was originally designed. However, by changing (in

eﬀect, ‘tricking’) the setting, TTL exposures can be made. Proceed as follows:
Move the ISO selector on the 503CWD so that is becomes approximately 1⅔ f/stop higher

than the ISO setting on the digital back. Therefore, for example, when the back is set at

50ISO, the ‘ﬁlm speed setting’ on the camera should read 160ISO, and so on. Testing for

the most suitable compensation that suits you is recommended.

Viewﬁnder indicator

Flash operation and ﬂash battery−check are indicated by a red light, located under the

left edge of the focusing screen. It is operative only when a dedicated ﬂash is connected

Flash / Strobe

The 503CWD can be used together with most studio
or portable units.
It also oﬀers a TTL function if required.
