This diagram points out the power button on the top of the camera, and the power and mode indicators. It explains that holding the power button initiates startup, and steady lights on both indicators confirm the camera is ready.

1.3 Connecting to Power Supply

Connect the charger to the Type-C port on the back of the YN433 II. The camera also supports installing an external LP-E6 (7.4V) battery for power supply. Note that the YN433 II cannot charge external batteries; a specified charger is recommended for battery charging.

If using other chargers, ensure they support the USB QC3.0 protocol and have an input voltage of 9V or above. The USB interface marked 'DC IN' can supply power to the YN433 II.

This image illustrates two power supply methods: connecting a charger to the Type-C port and installing an LP-E6 (7.4V) external battery. It highlights the Type-C power interface and the battery compartment, clarifying that the camera does not charge external batteries.

1.4 Installing an Interchangeable Lens

The YN433 II camera features an interchangeable Micro Four Thirds (M43) lens mount. To install a lens, align the lens mount with the camera's mount and rotate until it clicks into place. Ensure the lens is securely attached before operation.

Operating Instructions

2.1 Live Streaming via UVC (USB Video Class)

The YN433 II supports UVC protocol for direct live streaming. Follow these steps to set up UVC live streaming:

1. First, connect one end of the power cord to the power interface of the device, tighten the upper and lower fixing screws. Press and hold the power button to turn on the device.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Type-C interface on the side of YN433 II.
3. Connect the other end of the USB3.0 cable to the computer.
4. Press the mode switch button until the UVC mode indicator lights up.
5. Open your live broadcast software (e.g., OBS) on the computer and import the UVC camera to start live streaming.

Note: If the computer does not detect the UVC Camera, please delete the original camera settings and ensure that the camera is not occupied by other programs, and then restart the camera. To ensure picture quality, it is recommended that you use the USB3.0 interface on the computer motherboard and the USB3.0 cable. If you use the USB2.0 interface, the video stream can only support 720p 10fps. The UVC function mainly supports the following video stream formats: 1920x1080@30fps, 1280x720@30fps, 640x480@30fps.

This image provides a step-by-step visual guide for connecting the YN433 II camera for UVC live streaming. It shows connecting power, then the USB-C cable to the camera and computer, activating UVC mode, and finally configuring live broadcast software like OBS. Important notes on USB versions and supported resolutions are included.

2.2 Live Streaming via HDMI Interface

The YN433 II also supports live streaming via its HDMI interface. There are two methods:

• Method 1: Connect the YN433 II and the live streaming box with an HDMI cable, and then start streaming through the live streaming box. Prepare for the live broadcast.
• Method 2: Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI interface of YN433 II, and then connect to the computer through a video capture card with a PCIe interface.

After completing any of the above operations, switch the mode to "MTP" (the upper left corner of the camera body). Then short press the Fn button on the front of the camera body to enable the camera to output video to the computer to realize the live streaming function.

Note: The maximum resolution supported by connecting the camera through an HDMI cable is 1920x1080p.

This section of the image (from the previous UVC image) details two methods for HDMI live streaming: connecting to a dedicated streaming box or using a video capture card with a computer. It also explains how to switch the camera to MTP mode and use the Fn button to enable video output for streaming. A note specifies the maximum HDMI output resolution as 1080p.
