MIC 1 connector
1) MIC 1 (microphone channel 1) connector
Accepts the signal from an external microphone. Normally, this is
used to connect the microphone supplied with the optional BVF-
10/10CE, BVF-C10W or BVF-20W/20WCE Viewfinder.
2) Microphone power switch
Controls power fed to the microphone connected to the MIC-1
connector.
+48 V: When the microphone supplied with the optional BVF-
10/10CE, BVF-C10W or BVF-20W/20WCE Viewfinder is
connected. Also use with any other type of microphone
requiring an external +48 V power source.

external power.
3) Lens connector (12-pin)
Connector for the lens remote control cable.
4) VTR START button
When a camera control unit is connected using an optional camera
adaptor, the intercom 1 audio signal is normally sent to the CCU
while this button remains pressed. However, this function can be
changed via the Set-up Menu displayed on the viewfinder screen.
This provides a choice of sending either the intercom 1 or the
intercom 2 audio signal, or the return video 2 signal to the CCU
while this button remains pressed. With a VTR connected using a
CA-553/553P Camera Adaptor, pressing this button alternately starts
and stops the VTR recording. This is the same function as that of the
VTR button on the lens. For details, refer to the system manual.
