To change the balance between ash output and camera exposure requirements to
produce a variety of eects, use the exposure compensation function. For various long
exposure eects use the sync function. To make ash exposure tests use the ash meas-
ure function.
Only flash units specially adapted for use with the H2F should be connected to the hot shoe
on the camera.
General
When using the A or S setting together with ash, the exposure requirements of the camera
will dominate which might produce slow shutter speeds indoors, for example, requiring
the use of a tripod. If, on the other hand, you select P or Pv instead, then a shutter speed
of 1/60 or faster is automatically chosen by the camera enabling you to hand hold.
When using ash close up or when using larger aperture settings, remember that the
ash unit’s output has a specic minimum duration which might still be too great for
correct exposure. Read the unit’s output specications for further information regarding
any potential restrictions.
You can use the ash metering capability with external ash units of all kinds (TTL
ashes must be set to Manual mode).
Rear sync is a useful feature used either for eect or to produce a more ‘natural’ look
when combining long exposures involving light trails and ash.
When using suitable dedicated units (compatible with SCA3002), adjustments are made
automatically and governed by the settings on the camera. is applies to whether the
ash unit is set to TTL or whether it is set to its own integral metering system (A).
Control of either the integral ash unit or separate SCA3002 compatible ash unit re-
garding the two functions, exposure compensation and shutter sync, is via the grip. e
ash measure function can be used for ash units that are not SCA 3002 compatible or
for SCA 3002 compatible units at manual setting.
As with all strobe/studio flash use, very particular attention should be taken to ensure cor-
rect connections and general handling practice. Potential dangers might decrease when
cameras are connected to strobe/studio flash units by way of IR and similar wireless flash
release devices.
Victor Hasselblad AB and Hasselblad A/S can accept no responsibility whatsoever for accidents
that might occur or damage caused when Hasselblad equipment is used in combination
with third-party units of any description.
Do not attempt to connect a flash unit dedicated for use with another camera brand via
the hot shoe. The flash unit and / or camera could be damaged.
The H2F can be used together with most ash units in manual mode. However, to make use of a
TTL automatic function, you must ensure the flash unit is compatible with the SCA 3002 system.
Connection is either by the PC socket or by the hot shoe (see warning note below).
The viewnder houses an integral ll-ash with a guide number of 12 and features OTF/TTL ash
control. This unit is capable of providing enough illumination for many ll ash functions outdoors
as well as simple indoor shots at shorter distances.
Flash output can be adjusted separately from ambient exposure for optimum control.
Separate ash units can be used in dedicated mode when connected to the hot shoe if the unit is
compatible with the SCA3002 (Metz) system using a Hasselblad SCA3902 adapter. This provides a
cable free link up for information transfer.
Flash synchronisation can be set to normal or rear (the beginning or end of an exposure).
Please see the relevant user manuals for information regarding separate ash units.
