Re: EOS R5: External Battery USB-C Power

Is there any way to prove whether the camera is using the external power supply to power itself whilst it is on? Are there any indicators or menu systems that display that the power is being delivered from the power supply?

Has anybody had any luck using MacBook power adapters for this?

My small MacBook power adapter does seem to charge the device whilst off so long as it has the LP-E6N battery installed (not with LP-E6). If it's not charging the battery, but is powering the device whilst it's on, that would be fine for me. Not sure if this is possible with the LP-E6 installed.
