Well, to be sure you don't fry the camera you need to at least borrow a volt-meter from someone, and adjust the single potentiometer on the board to get 3 volts. Then you never need to touch it again :-)

Then again, for my Canon there is a battery sized replacement unit that goes into the camera that then plugs into - via a box - to a 12V cigarette lighter socket, maybe there is a similar product for your camera?

Somehow you need to get the power to the camera, like gutting a batterypack and solder the leads into it. Nothing too scary really.

Hope you get it sorted cuz these are expensive little batteries!

You could try contacting Andy at Astronomiser as he may be be able to put together just what you need
