User Manual Supplement H3D-ll V6 2008-01-15 / V6 H3D-ll User Manual Supplement V6
Introduction One of the great strengths of the H-system of cameras is its continual development. This is one of the keys to retaining the system’s forefront position in the world of digital medium format photography. Normally, upgrades are to the firmware but this time there is an even larger leap forward with the introduction of hardware improvements too. This supplement explains the new features that the H3D-ll has compared to the H3D model.
New sensor unit user interface This latest change provides a completely different user interface for the sensor unit. The display screen is now much larger than its predecessor. Although there is also a change in the user buttons, the functions remain the same. It therefore follows that although the step-by-step instructions in the present user manuals are correct for the various procedures, they show another layout of buttons.

The rear control wheel navigates up and down the menu list and the front control wheel navigates sideways in the direction of the menu arrows.
