I'm trying to use the live view function on my 50D which works fine on battery power. However when i use my AC Adaptor, the camera connects for 1-2 seconds before the connection is lost with my PC and EOS Utility crashes. Any ideas on solution?
I think i've found a fix by plugging the usb directly into the motherboard rather than into the front of the computer. Live view seems to function fine for the past 10 minutes on the AC power. Thanks for all the responses above to help me solve this
Aftermarket, finding it very hard to source a genuine one. The camera seems to perform the the same when shooting on high speed bursts on both Battery and AC Adapter. I guess the solution is to find a genuine Canon AC Adaptor which would hopefully so...
Just tried on a laptop which wasn't plugged into any power source and it worked fine on live view. My computer and the camera are plugged into the same extension lead. How do other people solve the problem of using their camera on ac power?
