Notes
A warm battery pack may not be able to be fully
recharged.
Even when fully charged, battery packs gradually
lose their charge naturally. Use the battery packs as
soon as possible after recharging.
To prolong the life of battery packs, store them in a
cool place (about 20°C (68°F)), and charge in a place
with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C
(50°F and 86°F).
At low temperatures, the usable time of battery packs
decreases. The usable time of battery packs increases
if they are warmed to the room temperature (about
20°C (68°F)) before use at low temperatures.
Compared to the BP-L40A, the BP-IL75 offers better
performance at low temperature. The BP-IL75 is
recommended for use at low temperature.
Carrying a spare battery pack is recommended.
The BP-L40A and BP-IL75 are free from memory
effect. There is no need to discharge it fully before
recharging.
Camera Adaptor Power Supply
The camera adaptor automatically operates on power
supplied to the CCU/VTR/CMA connector from the
portable VTR, CCU-D50/D50P Camera Control Unit,
CMA-8A/8ACE AC Adaptor or other connected
device.
Note
Before use, check that the device connected to the
CCU/VTR/CMA connector is able to provide the
power required by the camera.
If it is not able to provide the necessary power, or
when it is necessary to prolong the operating time, use
the camera with a separate power supply.
