HMC 150- how do I connect it to external power-supply? at DVinfo.net

The manual shows a battery-like thing with a dc connection off the battery charger.
Panasonic website has it wrong. They say its a converter but it is not. It's just a charger.
I need the unit that connects the charger with the camera. Where can I find that?

Thank you.

Is the camera 'grey' or legit?

On mine, the charger does double duty. The same device that you slide the battery into to charge also has a socket for the battery replacement cord. It was included with the camera--not an extra add-on.

Problem solved.
The seller still had it in his possession and will send it to me.

Thank you for your help.

What sucks is that Panasonic does not offer a replacement cord (the one you are talking about) without the PS. So if you lose it or it's thin wires break, then you have to buy an entire power supply. Really stupid.
