Connect the CBK-WA01 cable to a USB connector on 
the camera. Wrap excess cable length around the cable 
holder. 
2-7 Preparing the Power 
Supply
This camera operates at 12 V DC (10.5 V to 17 V).
To supply power to the camera, attach the supplied 8-pin 
power cable connector to a commercially available 
shielded cable, and then connect the cable to the DC IN 
connector (LEMO 8-pin) on the camera. 
For details on connector pin assignments, see “Connector 
Pin Assignments” (page 63) in the Appendix. For details 
on the pin connections, consult your local Sony 
representative. 
• Use of a power supply with 150 W or higher supply 
capacity is recommended to safely drive the camera. The 
specifications for the power supply cable should be 
chosen such that the voltage drop is less than 2 V.
Example: If a 5-meter (16 ft 5 in.) AWG 18 × 3 cable is 
used to supply the camera and SR-R4, the voltage drop 
will be 0.5 to 1.0 V. 
• If using the camera’s 24 V DC output to drive 
peripherals, 12 V DC and 24 V DC power supplies must 
be connected to the camera via the DC IN connector 
(LEMO 8-pin) of the power cable (supplied).
• When using the SR-R4 docked on the camera, the 
connection of a 13 V to 17 V DC power source is 
recommended.
To turn on the camera
Set the CAM POWER switch to the ON position, and the 
camera is turned on.
Power is also supplied to viewfinder connected to the VF 
connector.
12 V or 24 V power can be fed to accessories via the DC 
OUT connectors. To supply 24 V power to accessories, 
12 V and 24 V DC input power supplies must be connected 
via the DC IN connector of the camera. 
For the pin assignment for the 24 V power supply DC IN 
connector, see “Connector Pin Assignments” (page 63) in 
the Appendix.
