Fujifilm has announced it’s recalling more than 270,000 wall power adapters due to the risk of electrical shock. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the affected chargers were sold with six different camera models Fujifilm offers. The cameras and batteries themselves, however, are still safe to use.

In an announcement on its site, Fujifilm says certain AC–5VF power adapters that were packaged in Japan and sold throughout the United States and Canada are affected. Specifically, the cameras include the FinePix XP90, XP95, XP120, and XP 125 in the XP-series of rugged point-and-shoots, and X-A3 and X-A10 models in the X-series.

Finding the serial number of your camera can be done by looking at the sticker under the flip-up screen on the Fujifilm X-A3 and X-A10 models and on the bottom of the camera on the FinePix XP90, XP95, XP120, and XP125 models. Below is a helpful illustration provided by Fujifilm.

If for some reason the number has been rubbed off or otherwise removed, you can also find the serial number using the metadata of photos taken with the camera. Simply open up a program such as Adobe Lightroom or upload a photo to an online service such as Metapicz, and you should be able to find the serial number of your camera.

The excellent intermediate Canon EOS R10 camera is $86 off at Walmart today

Canon EOS R10 camera mirrorless with STM lens attached and flash up

I recently grabbed a Canon EOS R50 bundle for a trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before I made my decision, sifting through the best camera deals, and the two options I essentially narrowed down were the R50 and the EOS R10. The biggest difference between the two is that the R10 gives you more granular control over some of the photoshoot settings. R50, on the other hand, was designed assuming you'll mostly use the automatic shooting modes. That's a great option for novices, while the R10 is better for intermediate to more skilled photographers. Why am I telling you all of this? Because the excellent Canon EOS R10 camera is on sale at Walmart for Black Friday, discounted by $86 to $760 instead of $846. It is one of the better early Black Friday camera deals I've found so far. It comes with an 18-45mm lens. Needless to say, that's a great deal. Comparatively, the R10 with body only -- no lens -- is .

Why shop the Canon EOS R10 camera in Walmart's early Black Friday sale?
