In-Viewfinder Battery Status
Battery state-of-charge can be shown as a percentage of available
capacity in the viewfinder/LCD of cameras designed to accept this
data. Different data standards are used by camera and battery
manufacturers. Mini PAGlink batteries automatically adjust to support
the following: SMB (Sony and Red), I2C (IDX), analogue 0V to 5V
(Anton/Bauer).
When the batteries are linked, the data displayed is for the combined
capacity available. If there are 2 linked batteries, one at 100% SoC
and one at 60%, available capacity is 160% of 200%, which is equal
to 80%. It will always display as a fraction of 100%. If both batteries
were 100% the display would still say 100%.
If the data does not display, it could be because your camera has not
been set-up to communicate with the battery, or the camera mount
does not have the required contacts to deliver the information to the
viewfinder/LCD. Certain manufacturers do not include the data pins in
their V-Mount connectors.
