Will this Power Adpter blow up my camera?

[lime240z]

One I have now is for my FujiFilm FinePix2600. Specs: Digital Concepts, Model CH-700, Input:100-140V AC 60Hz 22W, Output: 3V DC 2100mA.

The adapter listed in the A540 Users Guide has these specs: Input: 100-240 V AC (50/60 Hz), Output: 3.15 V DC, 2.0A.

Will the Digital Concepts adapter blow up my Canon A540 if I use it?

I do not anticipate using an adapter much if at all.

Thanks

will the plug in fit?

You need to find out the polarity. Is the center the same polarity on both? You know the + and the - some say and some dont.


I just searched and found this link Canon powerpack polarity (http://groups.google.co.ke/group/rec.photo.digital/browse_thread/thread/9919e0f8253c6343/f9be4a9eb087a5d9?hl=fr) they say the tip is + on the canon supply. So if you can find out if the fuji is + on the tip, or the center then it should be fine.

Remember they said it is + so im not sure.

Thanks. Plug fits. Did not mention that the Fuji adapter also says Switching Power Supply on the label. On the Fuji camera at the jack there is the symbol + (plus) c (with a dot it it) - (minus). All three symbols are inside diamonds. This indicates the polarity of the Fuji, I presume, but the Canon only has DC In.

right, the canon doesnt say so thats why its a 50/50 chance it will work. If it doesnt work it may blow somthing i dont know.

So have you tried it or are you to scared it will blow up the camera? I would think they are fused, if you get it backwars it should just pop a fuse and still work under battery opperation but im not sure of that.

If i had the adapter ide try it with my A70 because i could probobly fix it. I dont have the DC adapter.

Do you have a meter? a volt meter? you could test it with a meter. The three screws on the bottom of the camera are ground. If you touch a continuity tester to those screws, then ground or - on the DC plug you will get infinite meaning its connected to ground and that would be -

Haven't tried it, never will unless I get an unqualified answer. Too many ?????Canon will not respond to the question. Thanks for your time.
