I was trying to discover the information, especially as I need to take a series of Macro pictures of Archaelogical artifacts, I will need a DC power source to keep the cost of batteries down! I've already contacted Samsung UK, who also don't know the answer (what surprise!), but have promised to escalate in enquiry. I think you'll need a 3volt 1.5amp PSU as its carrying out a powering & NOT charging function with the camera. DON'T select the wrong tip polarity or you'll fry the camera!!! My guess its a 3v DC supply, (as it says 3v DC on the rubber port flap!) My second "guess" is that it's a positive tip plug that's needed to plug into the DC in socket, about 1.5mm diameter with a "yellow" tip to denote the correct size of plug used in multiple plug Universal Power Supply units that can "swap" the polarity of the tip by rotating the two-pin plug on the end of the cable. DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT THE TIP POLARITY(ie positive or negative tip), email me to see what I learn from Samsung UK. Hans……

The user manual makes no mention of this. I tried to contact Samsung on their official site but get no joy. I have an external power supply originally meant for a Sony that also had two NiCd batteries and is rated at 4,2V 1,5A but will not connect it until I have confirmation that it is safe. No-one locally or thusfar anywhere else seems to be able to answer this question. Taking my question a little further it would be nice to know if the camera has control circuitry to charge the batteries from that socket or whether they are disconnected when inserting the DC plug.</p> Samsung S1050 query: I am desperate to find out the specifications of what must go into the DC receptacle.
