    I do not believe the camera has a power port on it to do that. I suppose someone may have rigged a solution using a battery compartment. I would get extra batteries. Keep in mind this is not the intended use for the camera, there are even 4gig video limits so that you only shoot 15 min of video to prevent the sensors from overheating. Its bad practice to be running constant video for extended periods of time on a large CMOS sensor.
