Hi all!

How can i make camera power supply from external source? For example, if i want to do some long videos i want to do with socket power or power bank?

Greetings ,

If you're indoors, Canon has a USB C /ac adapter.

If you need something for the outdoors, a USB- C PD or v-mount are your best options.

Are you looking to power the camera using the USB port? I don’t think the camera allows for that. You can charge batteries using the USB port, but I do not think you can use the camera at the same time.

You might want to look into the Canon AC adapter and DC battery eliminator.

Greetings,

It can. 😃 You can either power the camera, or charge the battery, but not both at the same time.

Thanks.

OK, one options is ac adapter.

What is USB- C PD? Can i do it with ordinary power bank (like 20000mah)?

Your battery or charger has to have a USB-C PD port that outputs 45W. See the following article that references this (specifically for the original R6, but the spec hasn't changed):

Greetings,

@Stephens post is correct. My PD is 45w, 9.0v and 3A. The R5 C is currently the most power hungry device in Canon's MILC line up. 😀

Don't skimp. Mine fits in a shirt or coat pocket. They also sell small V-Mounts now with a belt clip. Make sure you use the cable relief attachment. If the R62 doesn't come with one, put the camera into a small rig cage. You will bump the connection, pull it out unintentionally etc unless you are on a tripod.
