NOTE When no lens is attached to the camera, the glass filter covering the
sensor is exposed to dust and other debris so you’ll want to keep the dust cap on
whenever possible.
Turning Your Camera On
Now that you’ve attached a lens, you will need to supply power to your camera. Pocket Cinema
Camera 6K Pro can be powered by inserting an NP-F570 battery, and Pocket Cinema Camera
6K and 4K can be powered by inserting an LP-E6 battery. You also have the option of powering
your Pocket Cinema Camera from the supplied AC power adapter or from two NP-F570
batteries in a Blackmagic battery grip. For information about adding a battery grip to your
Pocket Cinema Camera, see the ‘using a battery grip’ section.
Inserting a Battery and Powering your Camera
Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro uses a standard NP-F570 battery, and Pocket Cinema Camera
6K and 4K use a standard LP-E6 battery. A battery is included with the camera, but if you need
additional batteries, they can be purchased from your Blackmagic Design reseller or from most
video or photography equipment stores.
1 On the underside of the camera, press the door release to open the battery door.
2 With the contacts facing the terminal, insert the battery until you feel it click into place
under the locking tab.
TIP To release the battery, push the locking tab towards the front of the
camera and the battery will eject.
3 Close the door to the battery terminal and gently push until it clicks into place.
4 Move the power switch on the top of your camera to the ‘on’ position. To turn off the
camera, move the power switch to the ‘off’ position.
Powering Your Camera with the Included Power Cable
The included 100-240 volt AC plug pack can be used to simultaneously power the camera and
charge the internal battery or two batteries if you have a Blackmagic battery grip attached to your
camera. The DC power connector locks to the camera so it cannot be accidentally disconnected.
To plug in external power:
1 Connect the AC to 12V DC adapter plug to your mains power socket.
2 Open the rubber protector on the left side of your camera and rotate the locking
DC power connector so that it lines up with the recess on the top of the 12VDC
power input. Gently push the connector into the input until it clicks.
3 To unplug the connector, pull the sheath away from the connector and remove the
connector from the input.
If you have both external and battery power connected, only external power is used. If you
remove external power while a charged battery is connected, your camera switches to battery
power without interruption.
