7. Launch 'Phocus' (Always at the END, this is the last step ALWAYS)- Navigate to destination folder

If you have a red light on the imagebank this indicates a problem, seek help.

ALWAYS use a low voltage flash system such as Broncolor or Metz

The Hassleblad HD1 set up (note 'User' button set to focus lens via a custom setting). I found the autofucus  cumbersome with the shallow depth of field we were using.

Front of the system (flash sync on the LH side, conventional viewfinder set up, battery in the handgrip on the RH side, display panel on the RH side using a menu system and contol wheels to navigate the menus, with duel purpose command buttons)

If I look grumpy I had an epic back pain (which makes learning more difficult) and I suffered all day
