@@NOTE
tt Other batteries can be supported by changing [BATTERY SELECT] in the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [BATTERY/P2CARD]. Use of batteries that are already verified as connectable to the camera is recommended.
tt Before you use a battery, charge it with a battery charger. (For details on charging, refer to each instruction operation.) tt When using the light (Ultralight 2), using a battery of 90 Wh or more is recommended.
tt When using a studio system (AG‑BS300, AG‑CA300G) to turn the light on, attach the battery plate to the AG‑CA300G before attaching the battery. Supply the light power supply from the battery plate. When supplying the light power supply from the light output terminal on the camera, overcurrent when the light is turned on sometimes prevents the camera from starting because of the overcurrent protection of AG‑BS300 and AG‑CA300G.
