UH... where is the external AC Power input for AC-5VX? I purchased specifically for the 1000fps slow motion feature, but read about battery-life problems, and so opted to purchase the AC-5VX external power supply for this unit, which is also mentioned in the user manual from fujifilm. Got the camera and power supply, but in looking all over the thing there does not appear to be any external power receptacle. Can someone point out what they might have found, or otherwise advise if the 1000 fps is going to gobble up batteries as some reviewers have warned? The manual references this specific external power supply in several places but nowhere is mentioned where the jack is located on the camera. In the section on "input/output terminals" nothing is mentioned for an external power input. The manual is terribly contradictory, and it seems there is no external power input possible. Thanks.

Dear Valmore, thanks for your comments. I did get the external adapter and another coupler that was necessary, and got it to work on the noted external power supply. However, I found the slow-motion options to be impossible except when working under open strong daylight. Otherwise, the amount of light entering each frame was way to low to do anything with. One would have to post-process the image files to increase their brightness and contrast, so I decided to return the camera.

According to HS10 manual the CP-04 DC coupler is required, buTT a search of Amazon only gives the CP45 coupler which is stated to be for another Fuji camera. See Amazon link @Fujifilm CP-45 Battery Coupler for Fuji Z10fd and Z100fd Digital CamerasI can not find any way to contact Fuji Support at Fuji.com so I it is a Catch22? Anyone have an email addy for Fuji Support?? TIAErnie, not Bert

I don't know. As I mentioned in my review, video is bad (strong device noises) for me, and moreover not much interested in that feature. That being said, I have a rather strong feeling (based among others from statements from Fuji executives that they need to strongly improve their video capabilities), that no, there isn't be such a feature.

This is not an external battery pack for your camera. It is exclusive to 5xx and 6xx flashes.Edit: reading @seldom satisfied's answer, it makes me think you might have had a different use intended for this. If you wanted to make this battery pack attach to your camera, then as @seldom said, it's going to be difficult. You should have the battery pack (if you have a compatible flash and want to use it for that purpose) either strapped to your person (it has a belt strap that works great) or strapped to your light stand, if you take that approach. You could loop it around your neck using any sort of supplementary strap, strap it to your arm, put it in a large pocket, whatever. This is not an external battery pack for your camera.

I ended up not using this device. The device cam e less power supply. I tried to contact the manufacturer to no avail. After may efforts they were to send a power supply but I got another unit instead. As I remember all inputs were hdmi. I hope this helps. I would not do any business with this company. They are also off shore.Good LuckHoward

I got it 2 days ago from Amazon. &gt;&gt; Is it true this model doesn't have front facing video camera? NO front facing video camera &gt;&gt;Also does this use flash memory or a mini harddrive? I did not disassemble to find out, but I can heard little noise when extremely quiet and saving large files. So, I think it is mini harddrive.

Thanks, I thought so. A friend of mine ordered a pkg deal from eBay and it didn't come with the charger. I guess she got ripped off with that. She ended up having to go out and buy one.One more question... I've been looking on here to find the best memory card for the camera without paying too much money for an actual Panasonic one. Is the Transcend memory card compatible? (The Transcend 16GB SDHC memory card with USB plug-in). I've read mixed reviews about which ones work or don't work.Thanks in advance & thanks for the previous response.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

I bought one. I didn't have any trouble finding the settings in the A7 menu and my battery is installed properly without the plastic interrupter strip and I couldn't get it to work. If they shipped it with a dead battery, shame on them. I don't have another. Where is the camera reading the IR signal? Through the lens? Are you supposed to see a light on the front of the remote when you push the button?

The Wasabi charger for the NP-FW50 is rated 120/240AC 50/60 HZ. It is 2 pin US (self storing), so will need the AC plug adapters for UK rectangular pins/Europe , no transformer needed, it does come with 2 pin US to 2 pin round for Europe. But I have not used it in Europe. BTW these batteries work ok, shows discharging rate on Sony a6000 camera. Cannot give good answer for how many photos per charge on Wasabi batteries, because I am still getting used to the camera, but it is long enough for me. If the NEX camera takes the NP-FW50, then it will work. There is no USB port for charging iPad etc, and the charging voltage is for 7.2 / 7.7v dc batteries.

The SONY TCM-200DV does not have a jack for an external power source. It is strictly battery-powered (2 AA batteries). However, this recorder seems to use power sparingly as the batteries last a long time. I would suggest after you've used it for a longer period of time to carry extra 2 AA batteries with you in your briefcase, purse, etc.

There is a mini-USB plug in the side of the camera; when plugged into a computer you can read it as external memory and either copy the files to computer memory, or look at them directly from the camera (which is slow on mine).Doug K

Yes I picked it up yesterday. Black only. Best Buy at Willowbrook in Houston. Went to BB site, searched for cam, and it gives list of local stores. Sunday there two store, Monday just one, but I have cam in hand. Haven't had chance to play with it yet, tonight is the night. Few quick obs, don't like that battery has to be charged in camera, so had to purchase charger, no case at all. At first glance I don't see a lot pof capability for aperture or shutter priority, but it may be in a menu screen somewhere. Will report back after trip this weekend.

I'm sorry Bonnie, but for some reason my message to you got cut off so here is the most important part for you. I also use it for home surveillance. The short answer to your question is NO! you cannot connect an external power supply to these cameras. Hope this was of some help. Pete

I have performed the firmware update and the camera still has the battery problem during a video session. As some of the other respondents have said, zooming during video is the killer for the battery. I have just learned that I need to have a fresh charge on my batteries before I go to shoot. I try to hold the zooming to a minimum during the shoot (You should do this anyway if you want a more professional looking shot; zooming during a shot looks very amateurish). Just zoom in on your subject to frame it like you want it before you start to video record. Not to diminish the problem, I am not happy with the battery issue. I do however, really like the camera in most other aspects (other than the flash placement). I have learned how to get around it's shortcomings. I really love the beautiful shots I am able to get. The zoom capability is amazing for a small camera like this. I would stack the quality up there with my sons Canon Rebel SLR.
