What is the Sony DC Coupler DC-C1?
The DC-C1 is a USB Power Delivery (PD) DC coupler that provides continuous power to compatible Sony cameras through a plug-in coupler inserted into the camera's battery slot, making it ideal for long photo and video sessions.
Which batteries and cameras is the DC-C1 compatible with?

What power supply do I need to use the DC-C1?
A 65 W or higher USB PD power supply and a 5 A USB PD-supporting cable are required. The power lamp flashes if the connected supply cannot provide more than 65 W or if the cable cannot support 5 A.
Do I need to make any adjustments when using an NP-FW50 camera?

Does the DC-C1 affect my camera's monitor brightness?
Yes. Sony notes that the camera monitor brightness will be fixed at maximum while using the DC-C1.
Can using the DC-C1 help reduce camera overheating during long recordings?
The DC-C1 supplies power externally via USB PD rather than from the internal battery, which can help provide stable power during extended recordings. It also includes a power indicator lamp that shows when power is being delivered.
