FAQs
Can I charge my NP-FZ100 battery while it is connected to the camera using this adapter?
No, this adapter provides continuous power to the camera and does not charge the NP-FZ100 battery itself. The battery acts as a placeholder for the dummy connector.
What is the minimum power requirement for the USB-C source?
While the adapter outputs 8-8.4V at 3.5A, it's recommended to use a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) source capable of delivering at least 30W for stable and consistent performance. Lower-rated sources may lead to unstable power.
Will this adapter work with any USB-C power bank?
It requires a USB-C power bank that supports Power Delivery (PD) and can maintain a stable output voltage and sufficient amperage. Not all USB-C power banks are suitable.
Can I use this adapter while charging my camera via USB?
This adapter replaces the battery for power. If your camera supports charging via its USB port while powered on, it might interfere with the adapter's function. It's designed to run the camera from an external DC source.
How long can I power my camera with this adapter?
The duration depends entirely on the capacity of your connected USB-C power source. A higher mAh or Wh rating on the power source will allow for longer operation.
Is the dummy battery included, or do I need to use my own NP-FZ100 battery?
This product is a dummy battery with an integrated USB-C input cable. You do not need to use an actual NP-FZ100 battery with it; the dummy battery itself connects to the camera.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not power on
Verify that the USB-C power source is connected and providing sufficient power. Ensure the dummy battery is fully inserted into the camera. Try a different USB-C cable and power source.
Intermittent power loss or camera shutting down
The connected USB-C power source may not be providing consistent enough power. Try a higher-rated USB-C PD power bank or wall adapter. Ensure the USB-C cable is of good quality and can handle the required amperage.
No power indicator on camera display
Confirm that your specific camera model supports displaying external power status from this adapter. Ensure the adapter is correctly seated and the USB-C connection is secure.
Adapter feels warm during use
Some warmth is normal during operation. However, if it becomes excessively hot, disconnect immediately and check the power source and connection. Ensure the power source is not overtaxed.
Pros and Cons

- Camera functionality is dependent on the stability of the connected USB-C power source.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your Sony camera uses the NP-FZ100 battery.
- Connect the dummy battery end of the adapter to your camera's battery compartment.
- Connect a compatible USB-C power source (e.g., USB-C PD power bank, wall adapter) to the adapter's USB-C input port.
- Power on your camera. The camera should now operate using the external USB-C power source.
Compatibility:
- Camera: Compatible with Sony Alpha series cameras that use the NP-FZ100 battery (e.g., a7 III, a7 IV, a7R III, a7R IV, a9, a9 II, a6600, FX3).
- Power Source: Requires a USB-C power source capable of delivering at least 8V and sufficient amperage (3.5A recommended for optimal performance). USB Power Delivery (PD) is highly recommended for stable output. Check your power source specifications.
Care:
- Keep the adapter and its connectors clean and free from dust and debris.
- Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures or moisture.
- Handle the dummy battery connector gently to prevent damage to the camera's battery contacts.
