1. Prodotto finitoview

The Panasonic LUMIX DMW-DCC18 DC Coupler is an essential accessory designed to provide continuous power to your compatible Panasonic LUMIX S-Series and G-Series digital cameras. This coupler replaces the standard DMW-BLK22 or DMW-BLF19 battery, allowing the camera to be powered directly from an external USB Power Delivery (PD) AC adapter. This is particularly useful for extended shooting sessions, studio work, live streaming, or external SSD recording, eliminating concerns about battery life.
