IMPORTANT
Before Using the Camera
• Before making important recordings for the first time, make test recordings using the video configuration(s) you
plan to use to check that the camera operates correctly. Should it fail to operate correctly, refer to
Troubleshooting
• Copyright notice: Unauthorized recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of copyright
owners and be contrary to copyright laws.
• About the LCD screen: The screen is produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with
more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Very rarely, pixels may misfire or light up
permanently. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
• CFexpress cards can become hot due to the high operating temperature inside the camera. Removing a
CFexpress card immediately after using it for recording may cause burns or cause you to drop the card,
resulting in damage to the card.
• Observe the following precautions while an access indicator (A 44, 45) is illuminated or flashing in red. Failing
to do so may result in permanent data loss.
- Do not turn off the camera and do not remove the battery or other power source.
- Do not open the card compartment cover.

Color Grading with the ACES Workflow
You can perform color grading using ACES2065-1, the color encoding system defined by the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. This workflow allows you to perform on-set color grading* while continuing to
shoot.
* Requires monitors compatible with ASC-CDL and 3D LUT color correction.
23
ACESproxy: ACESproxy video data that is output from the camera’s output terminals when performing
on-set color grading. Select the [ACESproxy] option for the LUT setting, depending on where
the video is to be output (A 151).
Input Transform: Refers to the table used for converting color information of the input device to ACES2065-1
color space.
Output Transform: Refers to the table used for mapping ACES2065-1 color space information to the specific
color information scheme used by the display device.
ASC-CDL: Refers to the list that contains color grading adjustment data. This step requires equipment
compatible with ASC-CDL.

Preparing the Power Supply
You can power the camera using a battery pack or the DC IN 12V terminal. Even when a battery pack is
attached, if a power source is connected to the DC IN 12V terminal, the camera will not draw power from the
battery pack.
Using a Battery Pack
You can power the camera using the supplied BP-A60 Battery Pack or the optional BP-A30 Battery Pack. Both
battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery usage
time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time, charge
it fully and then use the camera until the battery pack is completely depleted.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge battery packs using the supplied CG-A20 Battery
Charger and CA-CP200 B Compact Power Adapter. Before
charging, remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 Connect the compact power adapter to the battery charger
and plug the power cord into a power outlet.
2 Attach the battery pack to the battery charger.
• Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of the
arrow until it clicks.
• The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates the
battery pack’s approximate charge. The indicator will stay on
when charging has completed.
25
3 Disconnect the compact power adapter from the battery charger and unplug the power cord.
4 Remove the battery pack from the battery charger.
• Do not connect to the battery charger any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this
camera.
• When using the battery charger or compact power adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may
cause a malfunction.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied battery charger or
compact power adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on
aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.

approx. 50% to 74%: Flashes twice every 2 seconds
approx. 75% to 99%: Flashes 3 times every 2 seconds
Preparing the Power Supply
NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF).
Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
• If there is a malfunction with the battery charger, compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator
26
will go out and charging will stop.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to
(A 219).
• For approximate charging times and usage times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to the
Ta bl es
(A 231).
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• Repeatedly charging and completely depleting a battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can

Using the DC IN 12V Terminal
When selecting commercially available AC adapters, make sure the external power source meets the following
specifications and all the safety standards of the country/region where it is used. Closely follow the
manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use and maintenance of AC adapters.
For information about the camera’s power consumption, refer to
Specifications
(A 228).

1 Turn off the camera.
2 Connect the AC adapter’s 4-pin XLR connector to
the camera’s DC IN 12V terminal.
• Make sure to turn off the camera before connecting or
disconnecting an external power source to/from the
camera’s DC IN 12V terminal.
Checking the Power Supply Levels
B
You can check the voltage level of an AC adapter on the screen (A 55). You can use the > [
System
Setup] > [DC IN Warning (V)] setting to set a critical power level for the AC adapter. When the power input to the
camera reaches the predetermined level, the onscreen power indicator will change to red and an error message
will appear.
Preparing the Power Supply
NOTES
• If the power supplied to the camera is at or below the level set for the power level warning (A 196), the
camera will not start recording. If the power supply’s voltage falls below the level necessary to operate the
28
camera while recording, recording will stop and the camera will turn off.
Preparing the Handle Unit and LCD Monitor
NOTES
Preparing the Handle Unit and LCD Monitor
The LCD screen is necessary to complete the initial setup of the camera, so how to attach the supplied handle
and LCD monitor will be explained in this section. To learn more about using other optional and supplied
accessories, refer to
Guide (PDF file), available for download from your local Canon website.
Preparing Other Accessories
Attaching the Handle Unit
1 Slide the mounting base at the bottom of the handle unit into
the camera’s top accessory shoe and gently push it all the way
forward.
2 Tighten the locking knob to firmly secure the handle in place.
• The handle unit has 0.64 cm (1/4") sockets, giving you the option to
attach a variety of commercially available accessories.
• If you plan to attach to the handle unit multiple heavy accessories
(optional or commercially available), reinforce the handle using a
0.64 cm, 1/4" hex socket head bolt (supplied) through the rear
mounting hole.
• If necessary, use the supplied hex wrench for 0.64 cm, 1/4" screws to
tighten the locking knob and the rear reinforcement mounting bolt.
