Charging the batteries
When working untethered, the standard power source of both the XF Camera
Body and IQ Digital Back 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 Twin V Pro charger. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours are required to fully
charge 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 indicator will blink and display the battery’s approximate
capacity as a percentage.
4. When the first battery is recharged the charger will automatically start
charging the second battery.
5. Charging is complete when the charge indicator stops blinking and the
capacity level displays “100%”.
6. Remove the batteries and unplug the cable from the charger.
Twin battery system
The XF Camera Body and the IQ Digital Back use identical 7.2 V (3400 mAh)
BP-911, 914, 915 type rechargeable Li-on batteries and share the same charger
for convenience, however the IQ Digital Back requires a battery to be loaded
prior to use, also when working tethered to a computer using a bus-powered
interface cable (FireWire 800 or USB 3.0).
XF and IQ power sharing
The XF Camera Body and IQ Digital Back are designed to share power from
the two BP-915 type batteries in the system, thereby providing improved
operation time for the full system. IQ1 and IQ2 backs cannot share power with
the XF Camera, and therefore operate on their own battery, independent of
the camera body.
IQ Digital Backs continue to feature their own power source, so that they may
also be used with third-party camera systems.
