NOTE
t Contact your dealer for information about the V-mount type battery plate.
t When the V-mount type battery plate is used, % (percent) is not displayed even if batteries with a battery level indicator function are used.
t When removing the plate, keep the release lever of the battery holder completely down, slide the plate in the opposite direction of when you mounted
it.
t When using a battery that is not in the [BATTERY SEL], set to [other], and set [FULL VOLT]/[NEAR END VOLT]/[END VOLT] according to the

Using external DC power supply

<DC IN> terminal
1
Connect the external DC power supply to the <DC IN> terminal of the camera.
2
Turn on the power switch of the external DC power supply (if the external DC power supply has a power switch).
3
Turn the power switch of the camera to < j > (ON).
r External DC power supply
Connect after making sure that the output voltage of the external DC power supply is compatible with the rated voltage of the camera.
Select an output amperage for the external DC power supply with a margin above the total amperage of the connected devices.
The total amperage of connected devices can be calculated with the following formula.
Total power consumption ÷ Voltage
When the power of the camera is turned on, inrush current is generated. Insufficient power supply when turning on the power may cause a malfunction. We
recommend that you use an external DC power supply that can assure double the capacity of the total power consumption of the camera and connected devices
that are turned on by interlock when the power of the camera is turned on (such as lenses, wireless microphone receivers). For the DC cable, use a dual-core
shielded wire of AWG18 (nominal cross section area 0.824 mm
f Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the external DC power supply and the camera <DC IN> terminal, and connect the polarity
correctly.
If the +12 V power supply is connected to the GND terminal in error, it may cause fire or malfunction.
