Canon 1000d power

[GrantEb]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can power the 1000d through it's cable that connects to the PC?

My battery only lasts about 2 hrs.

Many thanks

cheers

You can build a power supply for the camera. You need a dummy battery to which you attach the cable, then insert the dummy in place of the normal battery.

The best guy to ask about this is Psychobilly, or Peter as he is called.

Drop him a PM I'm sure he will advise you further.

He was a big help wth mine.

Ron.

Cheers for that. I will ask him.

Astronomiser sells them for all the Canon cameras. You can make your own if you sacrifice an old camera battery but you would still need to put together a voltage regulator to supply the camera with the correct voltage. None of the Canon cameras are powered via the USB lead
