Hot and cold temperatures affect your battery life, as does
continuous shooting and shooting long takes.
Your battery icon displays the percentage charge of the battery.
It will also update while charging, until the battery is full (100%).
We suggest plugging into your AC power adapter when the
battery life drops below 10% to ensure continuous shooting.
To maximize the shooting time and life of your internal battery,
we suggest keeping the camera powered down when not in
use, keeping AUTO SLEEP mode activated, and having the AC
power adapter connected when possible.
Auto Power Off
The D16 has the ability to auto power off after 1 or 5 minutes
of inactivity. This helps to save power between shots. You can
activate or disable auto power off by navigating to the POWER
MGMT submenu. (See “Displays anD Menus” on Page 25.)
Note: You can temporarily put your display to sleep and save
power by pressing and holding the DISP button for 3 seconds.
To wake the camera from sleep, press the MENU button once.
Using external power sources
The Digital Bolex D16 is designed for use with external power
sources for versatility while shooting in different conditions.
THE BATTERY 13
Any 12V power source or battery with a 4-PIN XLR connection
can be used to charge your camera. We recommend keeping
the camera plugged into your AC power adapter or an external
power source whenever possible to ensure long battery life.
Replacing the battery
Your Digital Bolex D16 comes with a standard 1 year warranty.
While your camera’s internal battery comes with an estimated
shelf life of 5 years, after a certain number of charge cycles, or
if a problem occurs, your battery may need to be replaced.
Replacement of the D16 battery requires professional repair
services, which must be performed at an authorized repair
center. Use of an unauthorized facility will void your warranty, if
you are still within your one year warranty period.
Please contact us if you are in need of assistance regarding
your battery via our website, www.digitalbolex.com/contact.
Storage & Inactivity
The D16’s LiPo battery is designed for continual use, and will
degrade if left unused for long periods of time. If planning to
store the D16, it is optimal to store the camera at a 40% to
50% battery charge. Storing at 0% or 100% may decrease the
longevity of the battery more rapidly.
