Pyxis 6K Power Issue

Hello,

Just got my pyxis all up and running. However I noticed the camera does not charge the battery when on AC Power. Is that normal behavior ?

I tested several Sony BP batteries

I’d venture to guess this is normal. Mainly because it’s normal with the URSA series and either V or Gold Mount Batteries. When plugged into AC you can’t charge the on camera battery. Seems the PYXIS inherited this trait. Most cinema cameras function this way. The Pocket was a rare beast in this regard.

Hello,

Congratulations on your purchase. Looking forward to hearing from you about your impressions of the camera and how you expect to be rigging it for your purposes.

Will it charge when plugged into mains but not "on" ?
