XF Camera System | Readying the Camera

Charging the batteries
When working untethered, the standard power source of both
the XF and IQ back is the 7.2v (3400mAh) BP-911/914/915 type
rechargeable Li-ion battery.
To maximize battery performance, charge both batteries before
use with the supplied Twin V Pro charger. Approximately 2.5 to 3
hours are required to fully recharge exhausted batteries.
1. Slide open the charger base cover and fold back to form
a stand.
2. Slide the batteries into the charger slots from the top
down. If charging only one battery, either slot can be
used.
3. The charge percentage indicator will blink and display the
capacity of the battery that’s charging.
4. Charging is complete when the charge indicator stops
blinking and the capacity level displays “100%”.
Two batteries in the system
Both the XF and the IQ use identical 7.2v (3400mAh) BP-915
rechargeable Li-on batteries and therefore share the same
charger for additional convenience.
XF and IQ3 Power Share
The XF and IQ3 digital back are designed to share power from
the two batteries in the system, thereby providing improved
operation time for the full system. Another benefit of having
separate batteries is that the IQ backs can be operated inde-
pendently on a separate camera system by using their own,
independent, power source.
IQ1 and IQ2 backs cannot share power with the XF camera, and therefore
operate on their own battery, independent from the camera body.
NOTE:
In low temperatures, keep spare batteries close to body temperature by storing in
an inside jacket pocket - Li-Ion tend to lose eciency under cold conditions.
