Recording using an external power supply
With the M2, it is possible to charge the battery and record at the same time using a
standard external USB 5V DC power supply. The power supply may be mains driven
(normal household wall plug), or run off batteries, including the car charger USB plug
(optional accessory) and cable supplied with the camera.
External USB power supplies usually only use the +5V and the - (Ground) wires. The
2 data wires are normally not used. However, some USB power supplies designed
for a specific USB device may use different wiring schemes and thus may not work
with this camera. To avoid possible problems, always use a generic power supply.
For recording video or taking pictures using a standard external power supply
connection, the USB power supply can be connected at any time, i.e. before the
camera is turned on, before the recording is started, or after the recording has been
started.
►Only use a quality chargers capable of supplying 1000mA (1A) and a stable
voltage of at least 5V. Low quality chargers may not be able to supply enough current
and can lead to premature battery failure or, in the worst case, even destroy the
camera.
