camera is cooled by convection from the camera body assisted by a fan contained in a sealed air duct.

utes and a REDVOLT
®
XL battery will run the camera and accessories for about 90 minutes.
POWER PRIORITY
When multiple power sources are available to the camera, power consumption is prioritized as follows:
