Hi,

I was given the camera with power adapter and one battery.  No 
external battery charger. According to Wikipedia, would have been 
manufactured about ten years ago.

Battery in the camera, external power connected.  If the camera is 
switched off, no light or display indicates the battery may be 
acccepting power.  If the camera is switched on, a green light is
left of the viewfinder.

If the battery is accepting charge, it's not enough to power the 
camera. With external power disconnected the camera has no sign of 
life except when switching off.

Should the battery charge in the camera? 
The battery is too old to use?  
Find a new battery? 
Find an external charger?

Thanks,              ... P.
