About Power Supply to the Camera
The camera runs on 8.4 VDC. Always use the supplied NP-F550 lithium-
ion battery or PCS-AC08 AC power adaptor as the power supply.
A CR-2025 button battery is supplied for backing up the settings.
Battery drive
Running on the battery, the camera works as a standalone unit. Fully
charged, the NP-F550 allows about three hours of continuous playback.
For consecutive shooting at ten-second intervals, the NP-F550 allows
hundreds of shots to be taken.
As the battery runs out, it takes longer to charge the built-in strobe. In
addition, the camera may start charge-assisting operations, for instance,
temporarily turning off the LCD.

battery power.

Tips
To maximize the service life of the button battery, it is recommended that
you keep the NP-F550 set in the camera even during operation on an AC
power supply.
Role of the button battery
The camera needs power to keep the following settings in memory: flash
mode, H/S mode, zoom rate, EXPOSURE, APERTURE, WHITE
BALANCE, and SET UP.
Usually, power is fed from the AC power adaptor or NP-F550. When the
AC power adaptor is unplugged or the NP-F550 runs out, the button
battery feeds power to the memory.
1
Tips
The button battery should run out in about six months if no power is fed
from the AC power adaptor or NP-F550. To maximize the service life of
the button battery, it is recommended that you keep the NP-F550 set in the
camera even when it is not used.
To replace the button battery, use a charged NP-F550 or connect the AC
power adaptor beforehand.
