ALL: IF you lose power to your camera ....heads up

If you lose power to your camera when on AC: you should know if you're on manual focus and manual iris, etc... all those settings will be lost/off.
I didn't realize it until about 5-10 minutes into recording that the camera was on auto-iris (although it tells you on the screen I wasn't paying much attention.) then after I corrected that I noticed my focus distance was off, also. So just remember if you lose power you just can't power right up and continue.. you need to re-do some of your manual settings. I think my white balance was still ok.... too bad I lost several files in the power loss. I guess this camera is not designed for sudden loss of power.

Now I wish they designed it with a small battery reserve to finish the last file, close it and initiate emergency shut down without losing any other settings. (Jan make that a suggested change for 160b/130b)
