The mirror should be locked by the mirror catch lever 22335 13362
(13356-1). Movement can be increased or reduced by
adjusting the mirror actuating lever (13362).
Adjustment is carried out by holding the arm fixed
using tool V-2205 and gently bend the forward part of
the arm using tool V-2201. Bend downwards for
increased mirror movement.

Final checks
Place the camera in the focusing gauge V-2229.
Zero the dial indicator by placing it on surface ”A”. "B"
Mount the front plate ”B” into the front bayonet of the
camera. Place the ruler with indicator clock onto the
gauge and move the indicator around the periphery of
the front plate and check that the length is within the
tolerance ± 0.03 mm. If to long, the camera can be
shortened by carefully striking the plate with a plastic
"A"
hammer. (Focal length is 71.40 mm).
Note! If the camera is to short it must be taken out Fig. 51
from the shell again for an adjustment.

Then fit tool V-4151 into the camera’s front bayonet Green line
plate. The tool should be powered by 6 volt DC.
Ensure when filing that tests are made often and finally
that the magazine fits snugly otherwise it will result in
play between the camera body and the magazine.
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 100 and LV15. * (ISO 400/LV12).

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 (50 and 800). * (100 and 1600).
In each case the green LED should light when the MEASURE button is pressed.

Fit the front gear on the front bayonet plate using one
screw (823019) in the front and one (820018) from the
rear. Check the freedom of operation. Do not tighten
the screws to much.
