Power Module

Operating Instructions

 Please connect the power cable correctly, or reverse connection and over- voltagewill damage the camera!

1. Press the Power Switch to “I” to turn it on( you can power down the camera when the power supply is normal, without Pressing the Power Switch. but ensure that the shooting indicator is off before power off), and press the Power Switch to “O” to turn it off.
2. After changing the camera settings(such as shutter speed, ISO etc.), you need to press the Power Switch to turn it off and restart to save the settings. Power off the camera directly if you don’t want to save the settings.
3. The default shutter signal(white wire) is low-level short-circuit signal. A converter module is needed if the signal flight controller generates is not low-level short-circuit signal. Such as using PWM trigger or using electric relay.
4. Manual trigger is supported, by connecting the shutter release cable and GND wire.
5. The camera will take a picture automatically, then it can be used via flight controller or manually.
6. Before using a new SD card, it should be connected to the computer to format it, and then imported the camera configuration files. After safely ejecting the SD card, it can be inserted into the camera.
7. You can adjust the camera parameters on SONY software, or connecting the camera to a monitor with HDMI wire, i. e. using buttons to change setting(each button port on four sides is correspond to the camera on the left side).
8. The default setting is suitable for most tasks in different environments, so you don’t need to adjust it if you are unfamiliar with it at the beginning.
9. When debugging the camera, it is recommended to connect the camera to the monitor via HDMI or to PC(phone) using acquisition card.
10. The HDMI port and the corresponding button have the same letter label.

Camera Shutter Setting

Triggered by Relay

1. Connect the shutter release cable to AUX OUT 5 on flight controller. If there is no PPK module, connect the PPK cable to AUX OUT 6 on flight controller.

2. Connect the flight controller to the computer using USB or other data links and open the mission planner.

3. Proceed to the CONFIG > FULL PARAMETER LIST and locate the CAM_TRIGG_TYPE parameter. This parameter must show as “1”. If it is not set to 1, change this parameter to 1 before proceeding to the next step.
   

4. Locate the BRD_PWM_COUNT parameter in the same category, and set it to “4”, meaning that only the top four of AUX ports will emit PWM signal.
   

5. Locate the RELAY_PIN in the same category and set its value to “54” which means the shutter release cable connects to the flight controller via AUX OUT 5.

6. Locate the CAM_FEEDBACK_PIN parameter in the same category, and set it to “55”, which means the PPK module connects to flight controller via AUX OUT 6.
   

Triggered by PWM signal

1. Connect the shutter release cable to AUX OUT 5 on flight controller. If there is no PPK module, connect the PPK cable to AUX OUT 6 on flight controller.

2. Connect the flight controller to the computer using USB or other data links and open the mission planner.

3. Proceed to the CONFIG > FULL PARAMETER LIST and reset these four parameters:

4. Set the value of BRD_PWM_COUNT in the same category to “5”, meaning that only the top five of AUX ports will emit PWM signal.

5. Locate the SERVO13_FUNCTION in the same category and set its value to “10” which means the shutter release cable connects to the flight controller 13 port.

6. Locate the CAM_FEEDBACK_PIN parameter in the same category, and set it to “55”, which means the PPK module connects to flight controller via AUX OUT 6.
