dennyg Posted June 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I see I can get a power adaptor for the handgrip and the info implies it will power the camera. What I'd like to know is if it also will charge the camera battery. Would be nice not to have to pull the baseplate to charge the battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted June 17, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 17, 2014 It won't charge the battery. When in use with the AC power supply the book recommends having a battery installed in the camera as well. During charging the battery gets warm and I suspect that is not good inside the body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reasoning about the recommendation as regards to having a battery installed during AC adapter use is that if the power supply stops for whatever reason, it will switch over to the battery and hopefully eliminating loss of work occurring.

I knew that from reading the instructions that came with it. I suspect the charging was not implemented due to the heat inside the battery compartment.
