I have the Canon Powershot A85 and bought the exact Canon AC adapter it specified (ACK600). I have a couple of really stupid questions how to use it.
The AC adapter came in a Canon box but without instructions, just a sheet of warnings and precautions. It has two wires with different gizmos on each of the four ends. One wire has a prong end (to plug into the power outlet) and its other end has a thin black box. Then the other wire has something that looks like it would plug into the other side of the black box and an pointy-end that looks like it will plug into a small round hole in the camera. So I think I see how to connect it - yes? Do I connect to the power first, then connect the wires and black box to each other, then finally connect to the camera?
The other (stupid) question is - must I take the batteries out when using electric power? Or can I leave them in? How does the camera know not to use them?
