General advice for the battery and charger
Charge the batteries before use
Batteries discharge when not in use. For optimum performance, charge the
batteries before using the XF Camera and IQ4 .
Charge the batteries indoors
Only charge the batteries indoors (and away from moisture) at ambient
temperatures between 5–35 Celsius (41-95 Fahrenheit).
Remove batteries when not in use
Never leave the battery in the charger for an extensive period of time. When
charging is complete, remove the battery and unplug the charger from power
outlet. When the battery is left in the XF Camera Body or the IQ4 a small
amount of current is drawn, resulting in accelerated discharge and shorter
battery life. Remove the batteries when not in use.
Only use approved batteries
Use only 7.2 V BP-915 type batteries. Capacity in excess of 3300 mAh is
recommended. Some third party batteries may not fit into the XF Camera
Body or IQ4’s battery compartment, due to dierences in the manufacturing
tolerances. Do not try to force a battery into the compartment. When pressing
the battery release button it should slide out without being hindered. If a
battery can’t be removed, levering the battery out may cause damage. Please
contact your Phase One dealer for advice.
Dirt and fingerprints on battery terminals may cause loose connection and
corrosion. Clean the contacts with a soft-cloth before loading the batteries.
Shooting tethered
Always keep a battery in the IQ4 when shooting tethered to a computer via a
Gigabit Ethernet or USB-C connection. Please read the Power Connections
chapter for more information.
Use in foreign countries
The AC power adapter is supplied with several power plug adaptors for
international use. The power adaptor is compatible with 110 to 250 V AC
(50/60 Hz) power sources.
Only use the original power adapter or 12 V DC car adapter (supplied)
It is not recommended to use a portable voltage transformer with the battery
charger. Battery charging from a car’s 12 V electrical socket is possible but the
car battery will discharge if the engine is not running.
Powering On and O from the XF Camera Body
Powering up both the XF and the IQ4 simultaneously is achieved with a short
press of the On/O button located on top rear of the grip on the the XF
Camera Body. A long press of the same button will power o the XF. The IQ4
will follow and power-o automatically after a few seconds. The XF and IQ4
may also powered on and o from the IQ4, using the back’s power button.
NOTE:
In low temperatures, keep spare batteries
close to body temperature by storing
in an inside jacket pocket. Li-Ion type
batteries tend to lose eciency under
cold conditions.
NOTE:
There can be a low number of shutter actuations reported on a brand new XF Camera
Body or Leaf Shutter Lens. This is normal behavior as the shutter mechanism has been
tested during final quality check procedures. The shutter count on a new XF Camera
Body or Leaf Shutter Lens should never exceed 99.
For a Certified Pre-Owned Camera System that includes a physical shutter (Leaf Shutter
Lens, XF Camera Body) or recorded digital capture count (Digital Back), the actual
capture count should never exceed 5,000 actuations.
