Hi All,
my D850 will be used in the polar region for timelapse photography and also for takiang videos of the Northern Lights. It will be veeeery cold, so I need a reliable power source.
The camera is currently equipped with a EN-EL18a battery in a MB-D18 battery grip but I need to reduce the size/weight of the body. So I purchased an EP-5B dummy battery which can be connected to an external power source.
My power bank has a 5V USB-A, a USB-C with PD and an external port with 12-24VDC (which would be the easiest connection).
Can the D850 handle 12VDC? I have read everything between 7.2V to 9.4VDC and even 12VDC was mentioned once - but I don't want to fry my camera...
