under the locking tab.

Camera 6K, refer to the ‘using a battery grip’ section in this manual.
Powering Your Camera with the Included Power Cable
The included 100-240 volt AC plug pack can be used to power your Blackmagic Cinema
Camera 6K and to charge the internal battery when your camera is powered off. Two additional
batteries in an optional Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Battery Pro Grip will also charge
when attached.
The DC power cable 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.
