5-1-2 Using an AC power supply

When the AJ-B75 AC adapter made by Panasonic is used

1 Connect the DC OUT connector on the AJ-B75 AC adapter to the DC IN socket on the unit.

2 Set the power of the AC adapter to ON.

3 Set the unit’s power switch to ON.

When using an external power supply other than the AJ- B75 AC adapter, check the pin signals of its external DC input connector and use the polarities correctly.

Supplying +12V power to the GND terminal by mistake may give rise to ignition, resulting in a fire, or it may cause injury.

<Notes>

≥Power from the AC adapter takes precedence when both a battery pack and AC adapter have been connected. It is also possible to attach/remove a battery while the AC adapter is being used.

≥When using the AC adapter, be absolutely sure to first set the power of the AC adapter to ON and then set the unit’s power switch to ON.

If the power is turned on in the reverse sequence, the output voltage of the AC adapter will rise gradually, and the unit may malfunction as a result.

5-2 Attaching the viewfinder and adjusting its position

Refer to the instructions accompanying the viewfinder.

A slide rail is required for attaching a viewfinder (AJ-VF15 or AJ-VF20W) other than the AJ-VF15B or AJ-VF20WB.

O If you wish to install the slide rail, ask your dealer to obtain it as an accessory part.
