Hi...

Kinda what I was suspicious of, but hoping not to hear

Half an amp at 6 volts is only 3 watts; not *nearly* enough
to run your camera.

Suggestion would be that you search for a used or inexpensive
charger (maybe with a new battery too) or see if you can't
find someone nearby who'll lend you one for a quick charge or
perhaps charge your battery up for you for a test first


Take care.
