Battery status (rechargeable battery only) 15
An immediate full-screen information and battery status check
appears on the grip display by holding down the illumination/
battery status button. This screen displays:
• the firmware version
• the number of captures taken since the last battery recharge / change.
• a rechargeable-battery status icon that provides a quick visual check as well as a
figure estimate in percent.
The information regarding the number of captures taken is intended
to help you make an estimate of the number of possible remaining
captures according to your way of working. For example, if you
regularly browse a great deal when shooting or you leave the camera
in ON-mode with no standby, you would naturally expect to drain
the battery sooner than others who don’t. You should soon be able
to build up a picture of how you usually work and can therefore
estimate that after X number of captures, you normally expect to
be able to take Y captures before the battery is exhausted (when
working in a similar manner in similar conditions).
The percentage information, however, provides another kind of
estimate based more on the amount of power left in the battery
rather than on your normal way of working.
Remember that these are only estimates and that there are a number
of factors affecting remaining battery, ambient temperature for
example, as well as general practice.
Viewfinder screen 16, 17
The H3D II is fitted with a Spherical Acute-Matte D viewfinder
screen for extreme brightness, clarity and even illumination. An
optional accessory screen with a grid pattern is also available.
To change a viewfinder screen, remove the viewfinder to access the
viewfinder screen. To remove the screen, place the tip of a ballpoint
pen or similar in the viewfinder screen removal lug and pull upwards.
To replace the screen, position the right side of the screen in
place so that it sits correctly in the recess. Place the tip of a ballpoint
pen or similar in the viewfinder screen replacement indentation and
press downwards until the screen snaps into position. Try to avoid
touching either surface of the screen with bare fingers.
Do not attempt to clean the screen by immersing it in water, or
use any kind of cleaning fluid. If the screen becomes damp, do
not use hot air to dry it. Use a soft cloth on the upper surface only.
Seek advice from an Authorized Hasselblad Service Center if the
screen becomes particularly soiled. Remember that particles or
greasy marks on the screen might impair the viewfinder image
but have no effect whatsoever on the recorded image.
