Hi all,
I have joined to ask the knowledgeable people here about powering my Z7 from a power bank.
I have been led to believe this is a normal part of the Z7's abilities once Power Delivery is turned on in the menu.
My problem is there is no such setting in my menu on my Z7 which is running firmware 3.80 (the latest unless there's been a sudden update).
I have tried a 140 watt power bank with a 100 watt USB-C PD cable which I believe meets the requirements from all I have read but no icon comes up on the rear screen to say I am now running on externally supplied power as I believe is supposed to happen. I therefore presume that I am not getting external power?
Of course if a requirement is turning on Power Delivery and I don't have that in the menu then obviously its going to be impossible? Correct?
Or am I missing something? (other than the menu entry!). Or does this only apply to the Z7II and discussions I have read did not make that clear? Therefore I am chasing ghosts? (wouldn't be the first time!).
Also I run the twin battery pack grip, am I able to plug into this and get external power that way? I have tried this but have no way of knowing what is happening i.e. If power is coming from the external source or if the Z7 is just running from the normal batteries.
Thank you in advance for any help you maybe able to offer to help clarify my situation.
