Powering Your Blackfly S

Power can be provided over the USB3 connector to the host computer. The ideal input voltage is nominal 5 V DC. For the USB3 connector to provide power, the host controller must be connected to the computer's power supply.

The camera does not transmit images for the first 100 ms after power-up. The auto-exposure and auto-white balance algorithms do not run while the camera is powered down. It may therefore take several images to get a satisfactory image.

When the camera is power cycled (power disengaged then re-engaged), the camera reverts to its default factory settings, or if applicable, a saved user set.
