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).

NOTE
t
Contact the point of purchase for information about the V-mount adaptor plate.
t
When the V-mount adaptor plate is used, % (percent) display is not possible even if batteries with battery level indicator function are used.
Using NP type batteries
1
Mount the V-mount adaptor plate onto the camera.
For details, refer to “Using V-mount type batteries” (page 90).
2
Mount the holder plate onto NP type battery case.
f
When packing comes with the holder plate, apply the packing to the
battery case beforehand.
1) Remove the screw on the bottom of the cover, and remove the
cover.
2) Align the holes in the battery case and the holder plate, and
tighten the mounting screw.
3) Tighten the screw for power supply contact.
4) Insert the top of the removed cover in the direction of the arrow.
5) Align holes on the bottom of the cover (metal part) with holes on
the case and mount with the screw.

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

External DC power supply
2
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
may cause fire or malfunction.
