Notes on DC power supply (battery)  
yyVerify that the output voltage matches the  
unit’s voltage rating before connection.  
yyUse a rated output current that is equal  
to or higher than the unit’s input current  
rating.  
yyUse a shielded cable that is less than 2 m  
in length for the DC cable connecting the  
unit to the DC power supply (battery).  
yyAn inrush current is generated when the  
digital camera is turned on. An insufficient  
power supply capacity when the power is  
turned on may result in malfunction. We  
recommend using a DC power supply  
(battery) that can provide at least twice the  
power consumption value of the unit.
