Using a Video Light

For the DSR-300/300P, you can use the Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 or equivalent. Use a video light powered by 12 V with maximum power consumption of 30 W.

•If you connect the video light to the video light connector on the DSR-300/300P (page 22) and set the LIGHT switch to AUTO (page 12), you can turn the light on and off automatically as you start and stop VCR operation.

•The output of the video light connector on the DSR- 300/300P is controlled to 12 V even when the camcorder is supplied with 12 V or more power (through the DC IN connector or battery pack). The brightness or color temperature of the light will not change according to voltage increase.

Notes

•Do not use the video light with power consumption of over 30 W.

•The brightness or color temperature of the light will change when the supplied voltage is under 12 V.

To fit the video light
