Chapter 5 Preparation — Connecting the <DC OUT> terminal with the external recording start/stop switch

Connecting the <DC OUT> terminal with the external recording start/stop switch

It is possible to retrieve 1.5 A current from the <DC OUT> terminal of the camera. Recording start/stop can be controlled by connecting an external switch to this terminal.

Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting an LED to this terminal, it is useful for shooting video when fixing the camera on a crane.
