USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

A5D User Manual

Medium format photography is about professionalism. Camera

systems have to be professional, handling has to be professional

and captures have to be professional in quality.

Hasselblad knows it and delivers it; professionals know that too. The

Hasselblad series of cameras consists of building new developments on

the shoulders of the previous generation. In this way all the previous work-

experience based and branch-demanding features are automatically included.

So, just when you think things can’t get much better, they do. And the A5D is

that model - all the good things from before and then some!

The A5D heralds a step up that is noticeably greater than before. There are

changes and many are ‘from the ground up’. The A5D provides a reliable

connection to the eeting environment of digital imaging technology so when

the wind changes direction, the A5D remains as the safeguarding companion

to provide support.

Today’s aerial photography is more demanding than ever and Hasselblad

continues to rise to the occasion, introducing more and more advanced

products and applications for this exciting segment. This is especially true

of the Hasselblad A5D, the latest evolution of Hasselblad aerial cameras

designed for these special applications.

The new camera has been developed to deliver the image quality and

reliability required by our surveying and mapping customers. Listening to their

feedback we have developed a camera to encompass these needs and much

more.

Hasselblad’s best kept secret is knowing that every link in the chain that

leads to the page in the magazine has to reach a certain standard; it is

that simple. That’s why Hasselblad spends so much time and energy into

checking those almost endless behind-the-scenes details and standards

because we understand this simple concept. There is no magical formula

to Hasselblad’s success other than an understanding of what is required to

produce the best results available in the world today, and an acceptance that

there are no short cuts in this process. Hasselblad does its best to produce

the best; there is no other way to achieve the Hasselblad star quality.

WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• Keep the A5D 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 unit for cleaning

as the exposed sensor protective lter is vulnerable to damage.

• Keep all cables connected to or from your camera out of the way where

they will not be tripped over.

• Your new Hasselblad camera may have been supplied in kit form or as

separate items. There are a number of possible combinations depending

on factors such as offers, bundles etc. Please ensure that all the items

noted on the accompanying packing information have been

supplied and are correct.

• Contact your Hasselblad dealer or distributor immediately if anything

is missing or seems faulty in any way, quoting the serial numbers and

purchase details where appropriate.

• Please keep purchase details and the warranty in a safe place.

• Become familiar with the various parts and components. Leave protective

covers on as much as possible and avoid touching glass surfaces and

inserting ngers into the camera body. Hasselblad cameras have a robust

construction and are capable of withstanding fairly rough treatment but

nevertheless are precision instruments and will serve you longer if treated

with respect from the beginning.

FIRMWARE UPDATES

If you have registered your camera you should automatically receive e-mail

informing you of the latest developments. Otherwise you are advised to make

regular checks regarding rmware updates to the camera body, the sensor

unit and the viewnder.

The aim is to ensure you have the latest rmware updates for camera

body, sensor unit and viewnder, which naturally ensures the optimum

in performance. When updating you should also study the accompanying

‘Release Notes’ or ‘Read Me’ les where you will nd details about

improvements, developments and changes.

GETTING STARTED

MOUNTING THE LENS

The A5D lens mount contains a locking mechanism that securely holds

the lens in place with an even pressure all around the barrel.

Locate the lens mount locking bolt.

Before mounting a lens

ensure the metal collar

is in position and the

joint is aligned with the

location lug.

To mount a lens, locate the red dot on the rear lens mount and ensure

it is facing upwards. Offer up the lens into the camera body and rotate

clockwise until a click is heard.

To detach the lens,

press the lens release

button on the side of

the camera and turn the

lens anti-clockwise.

Insert the supplied Allen key into the bolt and rotate clockwise half a

turn to engage the lens mount lock.

ATTACHING THE LENS SHIELD

There are three lens shields

available depending on the lens in

use. To mount the shield for the

50, 80 or 100mm lens, simply

offer up the shield to the outer

lens mount and rotate the shield

clockwise until the shield locks.

NB: Do not overtighten as damage

to the lens mount may occur

To mount the shield for the 35mm

lens it is rst necessary to mount

the adaptor ring to the existing outer

lens mount. This adaptor ring is held

in place with 4 screws.

Once this has been mounted, you

can attach the lens and then mount

the shield and secure it with a turn

in the clockwise direction.

A5D User Manual

ATTACHING THE ADAPTER PLATE (P1)

To attach the A5D camera unit to an existing OEM camera mount

point you will need the adaptor plate (P1). This plate is attached

to the camera body with 4 bolts. You must ensure that the plate is

correctly oriented – please see the image below and align the plate

correctly.

Secure the plate with the 4 supplied bolts, ensuring that you tighten

them one turn at a time to provide even pressure. Once the plate is

secure you can mount the lens. Attach the lens shield and the unit is

now ready to mount in the camera pod using the existing P1 bolt layout.

POWER CONNECTION

The A5D camera unit is equipped with three connectors. The connector

furthest away (left hand side of the camera and coloured grey) is the DC

power connector. The unit requires a power source of 12-30 VDC to operate.

This will normally be supplied via the aircraft power system.

SYNCHRONOUS CONNECTIONS

The remaining two connectors are used to synchronise additional

daisy chained camera units so that all exposures take place within 20

microseconds of each other. The centre connector is the signal input and

the right hand connector is the signal output for the next unit.

SAVING IMAGES TO A COMPACTFLASH CARD

If you do not wish to transfer the captured images to a remote computer, the

CompactFlash card slot is available to allow in camera storage up to 128GB

(UDMA7 compatible cards).

FIREWIRE & LINK TO PHOCUS OR SDK BASED APPLICATION

Located on the left hand side of the camera you will nd the Firewire socket.

Using the supplied cable ensures the connection will be securely locked.

Once the connector is locked in place and the other end of the cable

attached to your computer system, the camera should show as connected

and camera controls should be congurable via Hasselblad Phocus software

or your own application designed from the SDK.

DC power connector

NB: Correct voltage AND polarity must be

applied to the power connection or

damage to the camera will occur
