, which provides
stabilized 12 V DC with 2.5 A maximum load.
The 11-pin accessory socket power output is not
electrically isolated from camera ground.
Ground loops may cause damage to camera or
connected 12 V equipment.
Note: When the camera is powered from mains and
a 12 V onboard monitor is powered from the
camera, running a video connection between
this monitor and another device that is also
powered from mains is likely to cause a ground
loop. The Isolating Power Adaptor IPA-1 (see
chapter 14: Accessories) provides a 12 V isolated
output from the camera to avoid ground loops.
Note: The 11-pin accessory socket can only be used as
an output socket. Accessories that feed signals
into the camera will not function at this socket.
