Friday 24th February 2012 HD1 workshop with JS and SP

Equipment that we used for this workshop :
 
Hasselblad H1D Body and lens
Imagebank x1
Link Cable x1
Firewire (FW) 400 Lead
Handgrip (usually supplied with HD1 body)
Quicl Release Plate
Block (Wooden)
Tripod bush
Light meter
Grey card
 
 
Set Up……

Turn Mac on
Set up Folder Hierarchy (Must be on desktop)
Attach Firewire cable from Mac to Imagebank
Attach Link cable form Imagebank to Sensor Socket on Camera
Route cable over tripod
Turn on camera
Launch 'Phocus' (Always at the END, this is the last step ALWAYS)- Navigate to destination folder
If you have a red light on the imagebank this indicates a problem, seek help. ALWAYS use a low voltage flash system such as Broncolor or Metz

The Hassleblad HD1 set up (note 'User' button set to focus lens via a custom setting). I found the autofucus  cumbersome with the shallow depth of field we were using.
 
 
Front of the system (flash sync on the LH side, conventional viewfinder set up, battery in the handgrip on the RH side, display panel on the RH side using a menu system and contol wheels to navigate the menus, with duel purpose command buttons)
