Storage & Shooting

Image storage modes / shooting

e H3D II can store captured images in three ways:

1. Untethered / Compact ash card mode

In this mode the H3D II acts independently of other connections. Images are stored on

the internal, removable compact-ash card.

and the size of the card’s holding capacity.

Please note that the recommended types of CF cards are Sandisk Extreme-III/IV or Lexar

Professional 133x/233x. Other cards will work but oer a reduced capture rate.

2. Semi-tethered / Imagebank-II mode

is mode enables you to attach the camera to a portable Hasselblad ImageBank-II via a

FireWire cable. e ImageBank-II features massive storage capacity (100GB) and high-

speed data transfer. It is small, lightweight, battery powered and easily clips to your belt,

so the solution is just as portable as the untethered option.

3. Tethered / Studio mode

is mode enables you to connect your H3D II directly to a computer and to operate the

system using Hasselblad Phocus soware and store images on a computer hard-disk.

Selecting the current medium

e current storage medium is the location to which new shots are saved and from which

you can browse using the navigation button. In many cases, the destination medium is

selected automatically, for example:

 • Whenyouareconnectedtoacomputer,thenimagesarealwayssaveddirectlyto

the computer hard disk.

 • Whenonlyonemediumisconnected(e.g.,acompact-ashcard),thenthismedium

is automatically selected.

However, if you are working away from your computer and have several media attached

(e.g., both a card and an ImageBank-II, then you may need to select a medium explicitly

if you want to browse its contents and store images new to it).
