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.
