Could Somebody please do this...

Idea: look into some cheaper power-supply option from the local electronics store. It's just the pin configuration I'm not sure of.

Maybe someone here can measure their SAC-4 pin diameter and take a macro shot? And measure the voltage to find out the pin polarity but remember that the open circuit voltage could be considerably higher than the on-load voltage. It's unlikely that the SAC-4 has the best regulated voltage on the planet especially if the camera has a regulator inside.

I myself would be leery of taking any advice from the local electronics store. People like Tom Schum here can help much better, I reckon.

An alternative is to get another fully functional camera and keep this one as a back-up, as I have done with the SD9 so as to have two battery carriers ...

Both good points, Ted. The output voltage and current is listed on the specs of the product, but the pin dimensions are not. - And from looking at the camera, it's a veritable* pinhole in size.

Ta in advance to any obligers.
