AC Adapters FAQs
Can I use a generic AC adapter with my camera?
It's not recommended unless the voltage, amperage, and connector type match your camera's specifications exactly. Using an incorrect adapter could damage your equipment or void the warranty.
Are AC adapters better than using batteries?
For extended use in a studio or static setup, yes. AC adapters eliminate the need to monitor battery levels or keep spares on hand. However, they aren't practical for mobile or outdoor use where outlets are unavailable.
Do all AC adapters come with a dummy battery?
Not always. Some adapters include dummy batteries tailored to specific cameras, while others may require a separate purchase. Be sure to check the product description or consult with a Samy's expert.
