hi,
i have a digital camera that runs on 4 AAA batteries. this thing eats up batteries like anything, 6-7 pics with flash and they are all dead...
anyways, i wanted to use a dc adapter instead of the batteries, so i opened the camera, put in a fresh pack of 4 AAA batteries and measured the voltage at the red and black leads going directly form the battery holder to the pcb and the voltage was little over 6 volts (camera was off). I then turned on the camera and measured the voltage: 4.32 v.
if i use a 6 v adapter will it work? i was thinking of building a small circuit and using a 6 voltage regulator but if the VR is supplying 6 volts constant with the camera on, will it be damaged?
is amperage to be considered? if so, how much?
im new to electronics, any help is appreciated
