Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Point & Shoot Cameras / January 2005ac adapter
I have a Kodak DX6340. It is 3 volt power. Does anyone know what kind of current draw in amps this might use? I bought a generic ac adaptor, 3v but only has max 180mA. Doesn't work. I assume this is because the adapter can't put out the req'd amps. Is that likely the problem? The one Kodak sells is $30. Do I need to spend this or are there generic and cheaper ac adaptors that can power the camera? Thanks > I have a Kodak DX6340. It is 3 volt power.

Damage caused by using a non-recommended adapter would invalidate the warranty.  SignatureMartin S. Yes, polarity is correct. So I suspect it's the amperage draw of the adapter is insufficient, but I'm not sure cause I don't know what amps the camera draws and Kodak is of no help. > > I have a Kodak DX6340.

Also, you should be able to find that info out on the web. My small Canon A60 digital power supple is rated at 4.3 volts DC @ 1.5 amps Dan > Yes, polarity is correct.

Dan, All the users guide says regarding the ac adapter is to use Kodaks own adapter. No details at all on amperage required. But from your posts and other info I've seen on similar cameras, the amperage required is much higher than what the ac adapter i bought can provide. So it looks like I need to buy Kodaks.

You could get a guide to the expected current drain by dividing the battery capacity by the life you get e.g. if 1800mAh batteries give 2 hours life then the current drain is about 900mA.
