DC coupler supplies power directly from an external power source such as a USB PD compatible AC adapter (65 W or more) to a camera body that supports NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50. To prevent accidental cable disconnection, the DC-C1 is equipped with the locking screw hole, or an anchor loop can be used to secure the cable to the USB port. The 1.6 m cable connects plug-in plate to the power supply assembly for flexible setup during shooting and is equipped with a Power Indicator Lamp that shows the power supply status. The compact and lightweight design makes it easy for portability.

USB Power Delivery (PD) DC coupler supplies power to a camera for long periods, providing continuous, reliable power to cameras compatible with NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 batteries. The DC-C1 can supply power to cameras that use NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 batteries, by inserting the plug-in plate into the cameras battery slot. The lockable USB cable prevents disconnection and the compact and lightweight body is suitable for outdoor shooting. The length-adjustable cable and Power Indicator Lamp add to the convenience and functionality of the DC-C1.

USB Power Delivery (PD) DC coupler supplies power to a camera for long periods

The DC-C1 provides continuous, reliable power to cameras compatible with NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 batteries, enabling extended photo and video shooting.1 A USB PD power supply (65 W or more) and USB cable with USB PD support (5 A) (sold separately) are required.2

Supply power to cameras that use NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 batteries

The DC-C1 can supply power to cameras that use NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 batteries, by inserting the plug-in plate3 into the camera’s battery slot. [A]: plug-in plate adaptor for NP-FZ100; [B]: plug-in plate for NP-FW504.

Lockable USB cable prevents disconnection

To prevent accidental cable disconnection, [A] a USB connector with a locking screw can be fixed to the locking screw hole on the DC-C1, or [B] an anchor loop can be used to secure the cable to the USB port.

Compact and lightweight body for outdoor shooting

The DC-C1 is smaller and lighter than the AC-PW20 despite the added functionality to secure the USB cable against accidental disconnection, making it convenient for outdoor shooting.

Length-adjustable cable for a variety of needs

A 1.6 m cable connects the plug-in plate to the power supply assembly of the DC-C1, allowing for flexible setup during shooting. The length of the cable is adjustable by bundling the cable band, to meet the needs of various shooting situations.

Power Indicator Lamp shows power supply status

The lamp on the power supply assembly turns on when power is being supplied to the camera through the DC-C1. The lamp flashes if a USB PD power supply incapable of delivering more than 65 W power output, or a USB cable with USB PD support incapable of delivering an electric current of 5 A, is connected.

When connected to an external power source such as a USB PD compatible power supply with multiple output ports, unplugging or plugging in the terminals at other ports may interrupt the power supply to the camera and cause data corruption. Please refer to individual manufacturers’ specifications for details of external power sources, such as USB PD power supplies and cables.
