䡵 Attaching the clamp filter

䡵 The power to the KY-F75 can be supplied through the IEEE1394 connector of the

computer. However, the following precautions must be adhered to.

Precautions on power supply

• When supplying the KY-F75 with power though the IEEE1394 cable, make sure that the capacity on
the supplying side is sufficient to meet the consumption by the KY-F75 (approximately 600 mA in the
case of DC 12 V).
When supplying the KY-F75 with power from the computer, make sure that sufficient power is sup­plied to the power supply connector of the IEEE1394 host adapter card.

For details, see the instructions for the IEEE1394 host adapter card.

• When the motorized lens is used, make sure to supply the power from the camera’s [DC IN] connector.

2. Preparations (continued)

Connecting the AC adapter

It is possible to supply power to the KY-F75 from the computer via the IEEE1394 cable, but
when a motorized lens, etc., is used, the DC cable should be used to connect the KY-F75’s [DC
IN] connector and the [TO CAMERA] connector on the AC adapter (AA-P700).
