Checking the Camera’s Power Levels
You can check the voltage level of the power source used on the camera’s HOME screen and on the shooting
screen that appears on monitoring devices (A 57, 59).
You can use the [System Setup] > [Low Power Warning] settings to set a critical power level
independently for the DC IN 12V terminal and battery. When the power input to the camera reaches the
predetermined level, the onscreen power indicator will change to red and a message will appear in the
[LIVE] screen. When using a battery compatible with BMS (battery management system), you can even set the
warning level as a percentage of the remaining battery charge instead of voltage.
