Does the DC car lighter adapter give power to the camera, or is it only a battery charger?

I'll be honest, I don't know. I don't think I even have it anymore. Sorry :(

The cigaret lighter is to power the charger. Don't buy it. I got to use it once. The battery dies with in 5 minutes after a full charge

That's all it is, 12v, plug into car lighter. Doesn't get hot enough for me, maybe because of the low voltage.

I do not own a DC adapter for it at all. I have been using solely battery power. Thanks

Its just a small 5volt DC connector charger. I'm sure you can find an adapter from an AC to DC if your going to be traveling. :D Btw, i've had mine for about a month or so now and its still working great!. :D

This charger needs to plug into an outlet so if you don't have that available in your car, then it won't work. Your camera may sell a car charger, but you'll have to do a search online for it.

the battery charger is built in the camera. the power cord is for that purpose only. no built in memory.

I have, without problem. Like the charger MUCH more than the OEM charger that came with the camera. It is much lighter, more compact, doesn't require a long AC cord, and comes with a cigarette lighter plug for use in a car, all of which are a plus for travel.

it usally takes about 2 hours to recharge the battery. i do not know if usb or car lighter port can be used. i would purchase a spare if taking many pictures.

The adapter does not consist of actual batteries - it only has this shape to let you slide it conveniently into the space normally occupied by 2 of the usual 4 dry batteries. The camera normally needs 4 individual batteries to get the power (wired in series to give you 4 x 1.2v or 4 x 1.5v for 5 - 6v whatever.) This adapter provides the maximum voltage from being switched on. It works very well (I use the camera for tabletop pics, which is what I bought it for secondhand). There are also tele and wide angle accessory lenses available for the camera (I got them very cheaply on ebay). A bit large and clumsy but OK for tabletop work. Get all three accessories!

It will work from both. However you must use the lighter adapter provided, as it reduces the voltage to about 5.5 volts. You also can use the camera on its battery but it only will last about 45 minutes or so. At least that is what mine did.

Yes. The power cord connects directly to the camera body, and (in conjunction with the camera body) is also your battery charger.

No. The adapter plug inserts into car cigarette lighter which draws power from the car battery.

You plug the power brick/transformer cord into the side of the camera and recharge the battery while it is loaded inside the body. For a long trip, I intend to buy a 2nd battery and a secondary charger.

The adapter uses the battery slot to power the Camera. You have to remove the battery to fit the adapter. So yes it will provide power while taking pictures or video but will not charge the battery.

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.
