All Hasselblad EL models except the ELD
require an Exposure Cable EL.
Also illustrated here is the use of the Adapter
EL to hold the battery.
Exposure Cable EL
• Only the single shot function (A or AS mode camera settings) should be set on the camera.
Rapid sequence shots are not possible.
• Use the
Adapter EL
(supplied with adapter) to provide the necesssary extension beyond the
motor housing of the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to a CF digital back in
the same manner as a battery, and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the
illustration.
ELX
For use with 500EL/ELM and 500/553ELX models:
• Make an
ELX
setting.
• The
Exposure Cable ELX
(supplied with adapter) should be connected.
• All exposures times, including the B setting, function correctly without having to alter
the “Exposure Time” setting.
• Rapid sequence shots are not possible.
• Use the
Adapter EL (supplied with adapter) to provide the necesssary extension beyond the
motor housing of the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to a CF digital back in
the same manner as a battery, and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the
illustration.
Pinhole
For use with lenses/cameras with no shutter. Intended primarily for use in a studio en-
vironment where complete darkness can be achieved and exposures made accordingly
(also useful for ‘light painting’). In this mode a CF digital back uses the exposure time (as
well as other required stages in a capture sequence) set in the Capture Sequence dialog.
The back can be triggered either via the
START
(MENU/EXIT) button or from FlexColor
(see later section for full description of Capture Sequence settings procedure).
Flash sync
For use with an ArcBody, a FlexBody or view cameras with a Hasselblad adapter.
• Make a Flash sync setting.
• A Flash sync input cable should be used.
• All exposures times, including the B setting, function correctly without having to alter
the “Exposure Time” setting.
• Do not use a winder at rapid sequence setting.
500
For use with 500C/CM, 501C/CM and 503 CX/CXi/CW models.
• Make a 500 setting.
H
• Make an
H-series
setting.
SWC
For use with the 903 SWC and 905 SWC models.
• Make an SWC setting.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the mechanical design of the SWC, pressing the exposure release button
too slowly may cause a faulty capture with a magenta cast. Either press the button much more
distinctly or alternatively change the setting from
SWC to Flash sync and use the Flash input
sync cable to connect the lens to the digital back.
200
For use with modified 202, 203 and 205 models together with F-lenses / CF-lenses in
F-mode. (Only these three models can be modified for cable-free compatibility with
the CFV/503CWD digital back. Please contact your Hasselblad dealer for further
information)
• Make a
200
setting.
• A
Flash sync input cable
should not be used.
• All exposures times, including the B setting, function correctly without having to alter
the “Exposure Time” setting.
• Do not use a winder at rapid sequence setting.

Please note that although the
903SWC and 905SWC models
work in conjunction with CF
digital backs, the combination
is not recommended for critical
work.
The Biogon 38 lens was de-
signed for film use where the
unusually close proximity of
the lens to the film plane was
of no consequence. However,
digital sensors and their pro-
tective filters make very dif-
ferent demands on the angle
and travelling distances of
the peripheral rays exiting the
rear lens element. Gradual un-
sharpness consequently occurs
towards the edges of the frame,
particularly noticeable with
flat subjects (typically copying
situations, 90º shots against
building façades, etc) though
these effects will be naturally
less obvious with more three-
dimensional subjects. Slight
green and magenta casts are
also caused, though these
can be removed digitally in
FlexColor/Phocus.
