I want to power my camera using USB power.
The camera is a Canon S95 and takes 3.7V (1000mAh) batteries which read an output voltage of about 4.1 when charged.
I want to keep the camera on for a long period of time so is it safe for me to use a few resistors (which I did) and decrease the USB output voltage to 4.1 and power the camera that way?
Will this cause damage to the camera?
Do milliamps also play some role in this that I haven't yet considered?
