Title: Hasselblad CF-II 39 and Phocus
Post by: gabehill on August 30, 2015, 04:26:52 pm

Hi all
I just bought a Hasselblad H2F with a CF-II 39 back as a backup cam for my H3D-II 31 and I can't get it to connect with Phocus.
I tried everything...shorter Firewire cable..Firmware update to Version 270..even tried to connect it to Flexcolor on an older Mac but
still I can not get it to show up in Phocus. The digiback gets power from the firewire cable as its also working without battery..also I tried to clean the firewire port but still nothing.
Does anyone have an idea what I could try or had the same problem?
Thanks for your help
Gabriel

Just a wild guess, but apparently there is a setting in the miscellaneous menu: interface: camera or disk.
When this option is set to disk, the camera will show as a mass storage device on the computer.
