DC OUT Connector and External REC Start/Stop Switch Connection
The DC OUT connector on the camera can output a 1.5 A
current.
Connecting an external switch to this connector enables
REC Start and Stop control.
An LED can be connected and used as a tally lamp, which
is convenient when the camera is mounted on a crane
during recording.
