General Introduction
Computer system requirements
Digital files naturally end up on a computer for processing. Image-storage and correction
requires a certain minimum standard regarding computer capabilities. Large images
will require a high-performance computer with plenty of memory, advanced graphics
capabilities and a recent operating system. In most cases, the computer should include
a FireWire 800/400 connector, which will enable you to load images directly from the
camera or Imagebank. To load images stored on the removable compact-flash card,
you could instead use a compact-flash card reader, but FireWire is recommended for
maximum flexibility.
e CFV saves images as 3FR or 3F files which are Hasselblad raw digital-camera cap-
ture standards. From FlexColor, you can optimize and then export the files to DNG or
TIFF or JPEG formats instead if you wish. e CFV includes the Hasselblad FlexColor
image-capture and editing application and native versions of FlexColor are provided for
both Macintosh and Windows platforms. Please see the FlexColor manual for complete
system requirements.
Warnings and restrictions
• Keep the CFV (and all computer equipment) away from moisture wherever possible.
If your camera becomes wet, disconnect from power and allow it to dry before
attempting to operate again.
• Always take great care when you remove the sensor back for cleaning—the ex-
posed CCD sensor is vulnerable to damage.
• Keep all cables connected to or from your camera and computer out of the way
where they will not be tripped over.
• Never cover the ventilation openings on the CFV when the unit is on.
