The camera doesn't react at all.

All info om image, but here are in text too:

- The AC adapter (from my "adapterstock") has the correct numbers (5.0 v DC out, max 3.8 A) Ideally it should have been 4 A...

- I measure output to 5.25 v unlaoded. I assume it will drop to ca 5.0 v when loaded with up to 3.8 A)

- Polarity correct

Well, that's it... All according to demands...but no reaction from camera (Canon EOS 5Ds R)

If you need 4A less than that won't do, you are better of using a power supply that has considerable excess capability I'd look at 6A models for a 4A requirement.

In addition I'd definitely want a regulated power supply that gives the correct voltage regardless of loading.
