charging the battery in between shots is feasible. However, the best way to
provide sucient power delivery from the port is to buy a USB-C device with
its own power supply like the OWC USB-C Dock which can supply plenty of
power via a USB-C cable.
You can also buy a USB-C power supply and plug it into the USB-C port on
the IQ4, and it will serve as a power supply. As an example, you can use the
power supply that comes with newer MacBook Pro’s to power and charge the
IQ4. The IQ4 will automatically take as much power as possible.
Using a USB-C Power bank
You can attach a USB-C based power bank to the USB-C port on the IQ4 to
deliver power. The IQ4 will be using the USB Power Delivery (PD) standard to
negotiate how much power it can draw from the power bank. Note that it can
accept up to 16V as a max, so if your power bank can supply 20V, 9V and 5V,
the IQ4 will draw 9V.
External XF Power Supply
You can get power delivery from the XF Power Supply accessory by
connecting it to the 12 pin multi connector port on the IQ4.
If you need to have both a cable release and the XT Power Supply attached
using the same 12 pin multi connector port, the Phase One Break Out Box
(B.O.B.) accessory will solve that as you can connect the XT Power Supply to
the B.O.B. accessory.
Note that IQ digital backs older than IQ4 uses an 8 pin multi connector port
and thus need an adapter to use the XT Power Supply or the BOB accessories.
With the IQ4, the port has been aligned to use a 12 pin multi connector like on
the XT Camera Body.
Power input priority for the XT Camera System
1. External XF Power Supply: If the XF Power Supply is connected to the
IQ4 through the 12 pin multi connector port, this power source will be
used.
2. Power Over Ethernet: If you have a Gigabit Ethernet connection and no
XF Power Supply is connected, the Power over Ethernet feature will be
the preferred power source.
3. USB-C: If neither the XF Power Supply or Power over Ethernet is available,
power deliver over USB-C will be used.
Charging LED indicators
The LED on the back of the IQ4 will indicate the charging status of the
battery:
• An orange pulsating light indicates that the battery is charging normally.
• A green-yellow pulsating light indicates that the battery fully charged.
• A red pulsating light indicates that the battery is close to being depleted
but is charging. It is not recommended to run the IQ4 with this battery
level, and the IQ4 might in fact not power on.
