Since the battery seems to be the main gripe with the camera. Is it possible to run it connected to AC power?

Yes, the camera has a 12 volt dc input for use with AC power adapters and external DC power packs. Some people construct a camera rig with an external battery pack attached for longer power times. Obviously both options make the Pocket less "pocketable". I find that using the internal battery and having a couple extra charged batteries on hand is all I need for most occasions. A single battery usually lasts long enough for me to fill a 64 GB memory card.

No. The battery is very weak, the camera shuts down in a few seconds when not connected to power.

The camera itself plugs in with an AC adapter. The monitor can be run off the battery or an included AC adapter.

Yes, both the camera and receiver need to be plugged into an AC outlet. I do not know any means of transmitting 12 volt DC current wirelessly.

it does require outlet power but it can run off of battery - but there is no other sign of a camera

You need to use the DC power adapter. The camera does not have its own internal battery.

No, you can only charge the battery by removing it from the camera and using the AC charger.

yes if the camera has power, I powered mine with the back up lights so it will not function that way.

No, the camera runs on 6 volts dc. You could just use the appropriate adapter. I'm sure you could find one.

Yes, take the batteries out and plug in the USB cable. Turn the camera on. The computer will power the camera :-)

Yes you can. The battery cam be recharged via wall socket as well. Works great!

The one I purchased did not come with an AC Power cord. I did get a power cord but it is for the charger that comes with the kit. The camera runs off a battery. However, Adapters and couplers are available. I purchased them ! Suggest that you contact a Canon dealer for all the details. Most people will not answer such a rudimentary question. A dealer is your best source for information including how to use the camera and take pictures!

I don't know I hadn't thought of trying that, it has a 2 hour battery according to the instructions. But you can run it on AC also. Sorry I wasn't much help.

1) Yes Input: AC 100V~240V Output: DC 7.6v / 3.0A2) It connects to camera, so it will only charge the battery if there's one in the camera. It is intended as an alternate power source for long videos, etc.

Yes. However, the adapter is only for charging...you cannot use the this camera while the AC adapter is plugged in (this isn't much of an issue, considering the battery charge lasts pretty good).

No, an AC adapter is not included. However, the camera is powered/recharched via the USB port, so any USB AC Power Adapter should work.

Yes, there is a hole at the bottom so that you think you could plug into an ac outlet. Moultrie told me not to do it. Then I ask about connecting to a 6v or 12v large battery source. They told me no also. They only recommended the sun solar power source that I did not want. Let me know if it works. I would love to figure out how to reduce the current in a 110 to plug into an outlet. Otherwise, great camera!KC
