Using a CMA-8A/8ACE camera adaptor
Connect the CMA-8A/8ACE Camera Adaptor and the
VTR/CCU/CMA connector on the camera adaptor
using the optional camera cable. Then the power is
automatically supplied to the camera. (See page 34.)
Priority of power sources
When two or three power sources are simultaneously
connected to the camera, the camera operation only
uses one of the power supplies according to the
numerical priority listed below (starting with DC
power first). The other power sources are
automatically cut off.

Power Sources
Using Power Supplied Through
the Camera Adaptor
To use the following equipment, make sure you have
attached a CA-537/537P Camera Adaptor.
Using a portable VTR
Connect the VTR/CCU/CMA connector on the camera
adaptor and the VTR 14-pin Q-type camera connector
on the VTR using the optional CCZQ Camera Cable.
Then the power is automatically supplied from the
VTR to the camera.
For the power source for the VTR, refer to the
operations manual for the VTR.
See the connecting diagram for “Connecting a Portable
VTR” (page 33).
Note
Before operating the camera, make sure that the power
supplied from the VTR to the camera is sufficient. If
the power supply capacity of the VTR is not sufficient,
the camera must be powered independently.
Note on the operating time
The continuous operating time depends on the
operation on the VTR. Fast-forwarding or rewinding
tape may reduce the operating time.
Battery life indication
The life of the batteries installed in the portable VTR
is indicated by the BATT indicator on the viewfinder.
If the BATT indicator starts flashing, replace the
battery with the charged one. If the camera continues
operating without replacing a battery, the BATT
indicator will stay lit. On some VTRs, the battery life
is not indicated. (See page 38.)
Using a CCU-M5/M5P and CCU-M7/M7P
camera control unit
Connect the camera control unit and the VTR/CCU/
CMA connector on the camera adaptor using the
optional camera cable. Then the power is
automatically supplied to the camera. (See page 34.)
