EOS M6 Mk2 with external power supply
1

Having recently acquired an M6 Mk2 I have been having fun taking time-lapse videos.

I am confused however:

  • In the user manual they suggest using a household power supply for long time-lapse videos (obviously to avoid emptying the battery before the end), but...
  • They also say that using the PD-E1 external power supply will stop charging the battery while the camera is in use...

So, before forking out for the PD-E1 (which doesn’t come cheap) can anyone confirm that it will power the camera indefinitely (even if it won’t charge the battery during this time).

I must admit that I would have liked the possibility to use an external USB battery to do this, but my tests did not work...
