Using an AC Adaptor

You can connect the unit to an AC power source for use without worrying about the need to recharge the battery pack.

Illustration of connecting AC adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor (A) to the DC IN connector (B) on the unit, and connect the power cord (C) (supplied) to an AC power source.

If the output voltage from the AC adaptor becomes low

If the output voltage from the AC adaptor falls below a certain level during operation ([DC Low Voltage1] state), a message appears informing you that the AC adaptor output voltage has dropped, and the recording/tally lamp starts flashing.

If the output voltage from the AC adaptor falls below the level at which operation cannot continue ([DC Low Voltage2] state), a message appears informing you that the AC adaptor output voltage is too low.

If this occurs, the AC adaptor may be faulty. Check the AC adaptor, as required.

Changing the warning voltages

The [DC Low Voltage1] level is set to 16.5 V and the [DC Low Voltage2] level is set to 15.5 V by factory default. You can change the warning level settings using [Technical] – [Camera DC IN Alarm] in the full menu.

About the AC adaptor

  • Do not connect and use an AC adaptor in a confined space, such as between a wall and furniture.
  • Connect the AC adaptor to the nearest AC power source. If a problem occurs during operation, immediately disconnect the power cord from the AC power source.
  • Do not short-circuit the metal parts of the plug of the AC adaptor. Doing so will cause a malfunction.
  • The battery cannot be charged while attached to the unit, even if the AC adaptor is connected.
  • When disconnecting the AC adaptor from the unit, grasp the plug and pull it straight out. Pulling on the cable may cause a malfunction.
