Charge a GX7, battery or AC adapter?
3 Attachment(s)
Do you need a battery to use the GX7 or can you just use a AC adapter to power the GX7
the manual says to plug the AC adapter directly from mains to camcorder but i cant see any connection on the back of the camcorder to connect the AC adapter to. |
The AC adapter connects in the battery slot. It's like a very flat battery with a wire that connects to the power brick. as you can see on the illustration.

i bought GX7 without a charger batteries or accessories would a AC adapter be suffice, do i need to connect something else to the back of the GX7 to use AC adapter, as the ones ive seen dont look like they are the right ones

You would need an adapter that comes with this thing (image from a long gone ebay ad):
Attachment 12726 The battery-looking part connects to the camcorder battery slot, while the barrel plug connects to the battery charger. Part number seems to be k2gj2dz00011 according to the manual. Rather than having a AC input plug on the camcorder, they used a dongle that connected to the the battery slot instead. It was a common method of providing power from AC on older camcorders. If you are very adventurous and cant find an adapter you could maybe jerry-rig something that connects to the battery terminals on the camcorder with the right DC voltage. |
thanks for the help for the price of the k2gj2dz00011 its much cheaper to buy a battery and usb charger both for £15
