The 16 Mpix based digital back is custom built to fit the design and functionality of Hasselblad cameras from the V-series with its range of high performance, leaf-shutter based lenses. However, it can also fit onto view cameras using the V-system interface plate for mechanical attachment and flash sync connection to trigger the digital capture for optimum compatibility and economy. It provides both cable free and computer tethered options to suit all types of work. The back offers an ultra high level of integration, image quality and flexibility to the specialist professional photographer or highend amateur user. [. . . ] For complete details see MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Copy. Transferring to an Imagebank The CFV enables you to work in the field, shooting to the internal card, and then transfer images to an external hard disk even if you do not have a computer with you. In this way, you can combine the total flexibility of shooting without any external connections with the massive storage capacity of an external hard disk. When the internal card gets full, just connect the camera to a Imagebank, transfer the images, clear the card and return to shooting. Images are not automatically deleted from the card after copying. If you want to delete some or all images to free up some space, then use MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Delete. See also MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Delete. 29 Working with the menu settings Menu system overview The main menu contains those settings that you will need to access most often as you work on an assignment.
