I am using a regulator to regulate 12v to 3.3v for my digital camera.
The regulator is rated to 1.5A, however the DC adapter for the cam is rated for 2A. I was just wondering if you can exceed the current limit for short periods such as taking photos because i dont think the camera will draw much current while idle.
Also what happens when you burn out a regulator? Say i drew too much current and it burnt out, can the input power short?
