WARNING:
Ensu re that all the correct voltages at fu ll load are p resent at the cam era p ow er connector
(irresp ective of cable len gth) accord ing to the p inou t d efined in section 2.2.3 Pow er
Connector. A com m on system p roblem is that the voltage d rop across the p ow er cable is
large enou gh that the voltage at the cam era d oes not m eet the p ow er i np u t voltage
