503CW..Do I need to set the ISO when shooting film?

[Deano]

I have a Hasselblad 503Cw. I was wondering if I really need to set the ISO when shooting film. The reason I ask is that my friend has a 500 and there is no ISO button. You just load the film set the aperture and shutter speed and shoot. Can anybody shed any light on this matter?

Thanks in advance

Haven't I just answered this elsewhere?

No the ISO control is only for use if using TTL flash.

Thanks for your help ED. Yes I posted this on TP also.

It might be worthwhile to read the owners manual of your camera.

Assuming things have not changed in the meantime these are for download on www.hasselblad.com (you have to register but that is worth it)

See Post #2. That setting is used for TTL flash.

It does not cost you more than a couple of minutes to register as a user with hasselblad.com
There is no charge.



Deano,

I certainly hope you got the same answer at both forums.
The answer posted here is correct.
