Attaching and removing the viewfinder
While holding the viewfinder at a slight angle and resting it on the top of the camera,
slide the viewfinder forward until the front locating pin is in position in the recess in the
front edge of the viewfinder screen aperture on camera body. Press the rear part of the
viewfinder firmly downwards until it clicks into place.
Ensure that both sides of the viewfinder are seated correctly and that it has been firmly
attached. Failure to do so could cause an intermittent malfunction if the databus interface
connections between the viewfinder and camera body are not positively secured.
To remove, grasp the viewfinder in the right hand and while depressing the viewfinder
release button, lift the rear of the viewfinder up and away from the camera body.
Eyepiece adjustment
No corrective lenses are needed to adjust the eyepiece to suit most requirements. The
diopter range is from -4 D to +2.5 D. Eyeglass wearers can rapidly and accurately change
the settings according to whether they wish to wear eyeglasses for viewing or not.
Personal eyepiece adjustments can be carried out by pointing the camera at the sky or
similar smoothly toned area. While holding the camera in your left hand, you can with
your right thumb turn the adjustment wheel until the markings on the viewfinder screen
reach the optimum sharpness for your eyesight.
If you normally wear eyeglasses for distance viewing and intend to wear them for camera
use then do not remove them for the above procedure. If, on the other hand, you prefer
to remove your eyeglasses for camera work, then repeat the above procedure without
wearing your eyeglasses.
Rubber eye cup
Two rubber eye cups are available for the H2. The one supplied is suitable for users who
do not intend to use eyeglasses when photographing. The second shorter eye cup is for
those who either prefer to position their eye further from the viewfinder and those who
wish to wear eyeglasses.
The eye cups can be rapidly changed by a Hasselblad Authorized Service Center.
Integral flash unit
See section on ‘Flash’ for full details.
