Setting the battery type
f
Set the battery type with the [BATTERY SELECT] item on the setting menu [BATTERY SETUP] screen.
f
When using a battery that is not in the [BATTERY SELECT] item, set [TYPE A] or [TYPE B], and set each item according to the characteristics of the
battery. (The default value of [TYPE A] is set to ENDURA HL9 of the IDX battery.)
For details, refer to “[BATTERY SETUP] screen” (page 130).

Using external DC power supply
1
Connect the external DC power supply to the <DC IN>
terminal of the camera.

Turn on the external DC power supply switch (if there is an
external DC power supply switch).
3
Turn the <POWER> switch of the camera <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 using 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 cord, use a dual-core shielded wire of AWG18 (nominal cross section
area 0.824 mm
2
) or thicker.
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
If the +12 V power supply is connected to the GND terminal in error, it
