sensor unit with your fingers. As you do this, the card will be pushed out a few mil-

Working with an ImageBank CF
e Ixpress Image Bank CF is an optional add-on for the H2D. It is essentially an external
FireWire hard disk optimized for digital photography, providing extensive storage space
and high-speed data transfer. It is small, light and battery powered. You can easily clip it
to your belt, so the solution is nearly as portable as the stand-alone camera.
To use an Image Bank-CF, simply assemble it as described in the manual and connect
with a standard FireWire cable. See the Image Bank-CF manual for complete details.
 Please note that only the ImageBank-CF model is compatible with the H2D. Earlier models
of the ImageBank are not compatible.
Connections for using the sensor unit with an Image Bank or external
FireWire hard disk.
To remove the Image Bank-CF, simply disconnect the FireWire cable.
Working with a standard FireWire hard disk
Although Hasselblad recommends the Image Bank CF because it has a high read and write
speed, you can actually connect any external FireWire disk to the sensor unit. Various
models are available, but they are not usually battery powered and the camera cannot
supply power over the FireWire cable (as a computer can for some hard disk models).
ese disks must therefore be plugged into a wall socket, which limits portability.
To use an external FireWire disk with an H2D, simply set up the disk as described in its
manual and connect the two with a standard FireWire cable. See your hard disk manual
for complete details.
To remove the disk, simply disconnect the FireWire cable.
 A good way to use a FireWire disk with your digital camera is to shoot in untethered mode
using the internal card and then, when the card is full, connect the disk and copy the contents
of card to the disk. No computer is required. This enables you to backup your shots and then
clear space on the card to keep on shooting. See ‘Transferring Images’ section for details.
