CFV50C AND HASSELBLAD V SERIES CAMERAS
The various models in the Hasselblad V series have various capture sequence requirements depending on the situation.
These can involve just a setting or a combination of setting and cable attachment. For example a 503CW only needs a set-
ting but additionally needs a cable if a Winder CW is fitted and exposure via Phocus is desired.
Eight Hasselblad V models are listed plus the option of view/large format camera attachment. See chart in this chapter for
an overview and the separated descriptions of the various Hasselblad V models below.

SETTINGS > CAMERA
The exposure time set on the CFV-50c sets the maximum
length of exposure. The default setting is 1/8 sec and this is
the setting that can be kept for all exposures from 1/8 sec
through 1/2000 sec. However, this setting should be changed
in accordance with the time required if it exceeds 1/8 sec.
If you prefer, you can connect the ‘Flash sync input cable’
between the lens PC socket and the CFV-50c which allows
you to retain the default setting of 1/8 second while still be-
ing able to use exposure times longer than 1/8 second. This
method also allows the use of the B setting. However, see
special note CFV-50c with all camera models on following
page concerning long exposures.
Model setting variations
Look in the list below for the camera model you are using
and make the appropriate settings change. Do not forget to
change the setting if you change camera model!
Winder CW
For use with 503 CW models:
• Make a Winder CW setting.
• If you want to control the camera from Phocus, connect the ‘Exposure cable 503´ be-
tween the CFV-50c and the Winder CW as in the illustration.
• Do not use the winder at rapid sequence setting.
ELD
For use with ELD models:
• Make an ELD setting.
• A B setting exposure can be made by choosing the ‘Bulb’ in the ‘Exposure Time’ setting.
• Only the single shot function (A or AS mode camera settings) should be set on the camera. Rapid
sequence shots are not possible.
• Use a Battery Adapter (optional accessory 3054668) to provide the necessary extension beyond the
motor housing of the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to the CFV-50c in the same man-
ner as a battery, and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the illustration.

Note
Capture Sequence in Phocus functions in the same manner
as an interval timer. It applies only to a motor or winder driv-
en camera model and Pinhole mode.
Initial delay: Controls the amount of time required to elapse
before the first exposure.
Delay: Controls the amount of time required between each
exposure.
Count: Controls the total number of exposures required.
See Phocus user manual for further details.
