Re: Where can I find a "dummy battery" for the NX500?

NX500 doesn't work without a battery, unfortunately, but if the battery is full, the camera will happily work from USB power without extra heating (that I noticed). This does block the port for shutter, but there's a fairly simple and robust option to trigger the shutter via Bluetooth (that is, from smartphone but without the need for wifi, etc).

Blank batteries might be present at some retail stores that had nx models as they used them for display units, but that's quite iffy.
