Using a Video Light
For the DSR-500WSL/500WSPL, you can use the
Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 or equivalent. Use a video
light powered by 12 V with maximum power
consumption of 30 W.
• If you connect the video light to the video light
connector on the DSR-500WSL/500WSPL (page 23)
and set the LIGHT switch to AUTO (page 13), you
can turn the light on and off automatically as you
start and stop VCR operation.
• The output of the video light connector on the DSR-
500WSL/500WSPL is controlled to 12 V even when
the camcorder is supplied with 12 V or more power
(through the DC IN connector or battery pack). The
brightness or color temperature of the light will not
change according to voltage increase.
Notes
• Do not use the video light with power consumption of
over 30 W.
• The brightness or color temperature of the light will
change when the supplied voltage is under 12 V
(through the DC IN connector or the battery pack).
To fit the video light
Fit the video light to the camcorder grip and connect
the video light cable to the video light connector.
