Sony has introduced two new camera power supply solutions for the Alpha series and Cinema Line cameras using NP-FZ100 batteries, designed to meet the increasing demands of content creators. The new products include the BC-ZD1 battery charger, which can charge two batteries simultaneously, and the DC-C1 DC coupler, providing direct power to the camera from an external source.
The BC-ZD1 is a high-speed charger for Sony’s high-capacity NP-FZ100 batteries. It can fully charge two batteries in approximately 155 minutes when connected to a USB Power Delivery (PD) compatible power supply with 30W or higher output and a USB PD-supported cable with a current rating of 3A or above.
The DC-C1 DC coupler provides continuous, reliable power to cameras compatible with NP-FZ100 or NP-FW50 rechargeable battery packs by using an external power source, such as a USB PD-compatible AC adapter (65W or higher) and a USB PD-supported cable (5A). This ensures a stable power supply during long shooting sessions or live streaming.
By expanding its range of power solutions, including genuine battery products, Sony is focused on enabling extended photo and video shoots, contributing to a more efficient workflow for creators.
