Camera body 555ELD Link to: VHABSTS Adjustment
Control/calibration should be carried out each time the camera has been in for repair.
The tolerance for the flash meter is ±0.3 EV at all settings.
If the Hasselblad Service System 970600 is used, follow the step by step instruction in the
STS user manual.
Note! For calibration work use ISO 400/LV12.
Lens Shutter B or F
Aperture f 5.6
Light box LV 12
K-factor 1.3
Calibration
On pressing the MEASURE button one of the three LED´s will light. The variable resistor in the camera (access
behind the leather beside the ISO dial) should be turned so that the green LED lights when the MEASURE
button is pressed again.
If the red LED lights, the resistor is turned anticlockwise and if the yellow LED lights, it is turned clockwise.
At least two seconds must be allowed between measurements.
Control
To ensure the ISO dial functions, the measurement should also be made for two other ISO settings (100 and
1600). In each case the green LED should light when the MEASURE button is pressed.
