The ILX-LR1 accepts DC power for long periods of operation without having to change batteries, and power and recording indicator lamps provide a visual status check. The camera's Power and Control Terminal provides power supply, exposure output, focus, and trigger from a single terminal for remote applications that require an instant response.
To prevent unintended changes to camera settings, it is equipped with a LOCK switch. There are screw mounts on each of its six surfaces, and micro-HDMI, top-lock USB-C, and button controls are grouped together to maximize mounting options.
