Reserve lithium battery grip 9, 10, 11
e reserve lithium battery grip is attached and removed in the
same manner as the rechargeable grip.
Press the red battery cassette retaining button inwards on the
holder to release the battery cassette (fig 9). Load three CR-123
lithium (or equivalent) into the cassette, ensuring the polarity
of each battery is correctly oriented (see the ‘+’ markings on the
batteries and the cassette) (fig 10, 11). Re-insert the cassette into
the battery holder, ensuring that it is seated properly in place and
that the red button returns fully into the locked position. Holding
the battery holder flat against the grip and aligning the two upper
lugs with the slot in the grip, slide it back into position as far as it
will go. Swing back the battery holder retaining lever as far as it
will go into the locked position.
Battery life 12, 13
Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and
therefore cannot be exactly predicted.If the camera is le in the
active state instead of standby for long periods, for example, then
battery life will be reduced. A low-battery state is indicated as a
symbol on the grip LCD (fig. 12).
When the batteries are almost completely exhausted, a warning
message ‘Low battery’ will appear on the grip LCD (fig. 13). e
camera will not function at all when this message appears and
battery change is essential.
Viewfinder screen 14, 15, 16
e H2D 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 replace-
ment 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.
