Charging the batteries
When working untethered, the standard power source of both the XF Camera
Body and IQ4 back is the 7.2 V (3400 mAh) BP-911/914/915 type rechargeable
Li-ion battery.
To maximize battery performance, charge both batteries before use with the
supplied Pro Cube 2 charger. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours are required to fully
charge exhausted batteries.
1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the charger and insert the
batteries into the charger slots. If charging only one battery, either slot
can be used.
2. The charge indicator will blink and display the battery’s approximate
capacity as a percentage.
3. Charging is complete when the charge indicator stops blinking and the
capacity level displays “100%”.
4. Remove the batteries and unplug the cable from the charger.
The Pro Cube 2 will display how much the batteries have been charged in mAh
since the charging session started. This can be useful if you are in a hurry and
know from experience that a particular amount of mAh is enough to get you
100 captures, for example. The three dots over a battery icon indicates on the
display which one is currently being measured.
Dual battery system
The XF Camera Body and the IQ4 use identical 7.2 V (3400 mAh) BP-911, 914,
915 type rechargeable Li-ion batteries and share the same charger for
convenience, however the IQ4 requires a battery to be loaded prior to use,
also when working tethered to a computer using a bus-powered interface
cable (Gigabit Ethernet or USB-C).
XF and IQ4 Power Sharing
The XF Camera Body and IQ4 are designed to share power from the two BP-
915 type batteries in the system, thereby providing improved operation time
for the full system. Make sure the feature is active on the IQ4 by setting
Power Management > Power Share With Camera ito On in the IQ4 Menu.
Charging a device by USB
The XF Pro Cube 2 can also be used to charge a device like a smartphone by
connecting it to the USB port on the charger. The display will show USB when
doing so. Note that the Pro Cube 2 will charge any inserted Li-ion batteries
fully before starting to charge the attached device over USB.
