Powering G7 X Mark III when used as USB webcam?

[adayley]

Question: Can the GX 7 Mark III be powered by something other than the battery when the USB-C port is connected to the computer as a webcam?

Setup:

• Laptop has the EOS Webcam Utility installed.
• GX 7 Mark III is connected via its USB-C port to a USB port on the laptop.
• The Mark III is operating correctly as a webcam.
• The Mark III cannot be powered using its USB-C port because that port is the video data interface.

Is there a product or way to power the Mark III so the battery does not run out?

I'm not sure which dummy battery you are asking about. I am successful using the dummy battery mentioned in a previous post in this thread.

This forum does not allow links in postings. Just search Amazon for "Glorich ACK-DC110" to get the item at the top of the list. Should look like this item:
