Using a Household Power Outlet

  1. Attach the DC coupler.

    • Attach DC Coupler DR-E6P (sold separately) the same way that batteries are loaded.
    • Only one DC coupler can be installed, in the position shown.
    • Pass the DC coupler cord out of the cord hole.
    • Close the battery compartment cover.

  2. Connect the DC coupler to the USB power adapter.

    • Securely connect the DC coupler receptacle to the plug of USB Power Adapter PD-E2 (sold separately).

    Note

    • To help prevent disconnection, use a cable tie to secure the cords of the DC coupler and USB power adapter as shown.

    • Connect the power cord to the USB power adapter and plug the other end into a power outlet.

Caution

  • While the camera is on, do not connect or disconnect the power cord or plug, and do not remove batteries.

Setting Up a Cooling Fan

Setting up a cooling fan

  • The FAN indicator is lit when the cooling fan is in use.

Caution

  • Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
  • While the cooling fan is on, warm air is discharged from the camera exhaust vent.
  • Do not block the cooling fan intake vent or the camera exhaust vent with your hand or other objects while the cooling fan is in use.
  • Fan noise may be included in movies that you record, in some shooting conditions. If so, it may help reduce these sounds if you use an external microphone and position it away from the cooling fan.
  • The sound of the cooling fan operating at a different speed may be recorded when you start recording after standby, depending on the cooling fan settings.
  • The cooling fan may not operate in cold conditions.
  • Before recording, always confirm that the FAN indicator is lit.

Using a USB Power Adapter for Charging/Power

Using USB Power Adapter PD-E2 (sold separately), you can charge Battery Pack LP-E6P without removing it from the cooling fan. The camera can also be powered.

Charging

  1. Connect the USB power adapter.

    • With the camera power switch set to Power off, insert the USB power adapter plug fully into the camera Digital terminal.

  2. Charge the battery.

    • Connect the power cord to the USB power adapter and plug the other end into a power outlet.
    • Charging begins, and the cooling fan charge lamp is lit.
    • [Charging in progress] is displayed on the camera LCD panel.
    • When charging is finished, the charge lamp turns off.

Supplying power

To power the camera without charging batteries, set the camera power switch to Power on. However, batteries are charged during auto power off.

The battery level indicator is gray when power is supplied.

To change from powering the camera to charging, set the camera power switch to Power off.

Caution

  • The camera cannot be powered without a battery pack in the cooling fan.
  • Charging is not possible with LP-E6P loaded or DC Coupler DR-E6P connected.
  • When batteries are depleted, the adapter charges them. In this case, power is not supplied to the camera.
  • To protect the battery pack and keep it in optimal condition, do not charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
  • Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when they are not used.
  • If the charging lamp fails to light up or a problem occurs during charging (shown by the charge lamp blinking), unplug the power cord, reinsert the battery, and wait a few minutes before plugging it in again. If the problem persists, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.
  • The charging time required and the amount charged vary depending on ambient temperature and remaining capacity.
  • For safety, charging in low temperatures takes longer.
  • The remaining battery level may decline when power is supplied to the camera. To avoid running out of battery power, use a fully charged battery.
  • Before disconnecting USB power adapters, set the camera power switch to Power off.
  • Some commercially available power adapters have been confirmed to charge and power the camera. For details, check the Canon website ().
  • You can also charge Battery Pack LP-E6NH/LP-E6N ().

Note

  • You can also charge a single LP-E6P battery at one time.
