Hi. The accessory pack ads indicate the A/C adaptor "charges" the camera. Does the camera have an internal battery that holds a charge?

No. I think that if rechargeable batteries are installed, it may charge them.

Yes, there is an internal battery but it does not last long. I would not count on it for any use beyond short term. I never took the camera to a concert or event, just use it to record music for posting to YouTube. The accessory pack is a good value.

Cord for AC, no, but the battery comes out of the camera and snaps into the charger to charge... which just has a swing-out plug to plug into the AC. There is also a DC cord which plugs into the bottom of the charger unit that holds the battery for charging. All in all, it's a pretty complete unit that works really well.

AA -- Original answer.Revised answer - I should have said two AA batteries. Sorry for the poorly worded answer. Since purchasing the camera, I have invested in a battery charger and a set of rechargeable AA's, which will pay for themselves over time. The charger also works with AAA's which I use in other applications.

The camera uses a rechargeable battery that doesn't even have to be removed from the camera in order to charge...you simply connect the cord directly from the camera to an outlet!

I have the same camera and this battery works just fine. You can also use plain old AA batteries in it but just don't try to charge them. This battery pack is made up of two AA rechargeable batteries.

It has an AC charger. You open the battery door, plug in the connector to the camera, then plug it into a wall outlet. It seems to charge pretty quickly.

This is not a charger, it is an AC power source where can operate the camera when attached (no different than your battery)

The camera came with the AC Adaptor and the direction say to insert the battery pack and connect the AC Adaptor and the power cord to the camcorder and the wall outlet. The camera can also be charge using a computer.

Yes, it comes with a battery and an external charger. You need to remove the battery to charge it. I prefer this over charging from the camera itself, because you can buy a backup battery and charge it while still using your camera.

Yes, the camera comes with a power charger that connects to ac. you can also power the camera and charge the battery with a usb cable. Love my camera!

The A/C adapter does not charge the device. It gives you an alternate power source.

No, there is no AC adaptor, it runs with two AA batteries. Mine lasts probably 2 months with maybe 30 minutes of use a day as a usb device or out recording. I would say an awesome battery life.After dropping mine once, the spring by the negative side of the battery isn't pushed out all the way. Not sure if it was my fault or a bit of a weak point there.

Hi Joyce,The battery is charged inside the camera via the USB cable and plug in power supply, both included with the camera.

Hi Robin, I do not have that answer. It has been charged and holding the charge but not much time on camera usage.

Unless you have a separate charger, the battery is charged while attached to the camera, and the camera plugged into its normal dc/110volt power adapter.

This camera does not use a typical AA battery. I'm not sure exactly what kind of battery it is but it is rechargeable and came with the camera. Leave the battery in the camera and plug the adapter into the camera to recharge. I did find I needed to recharge every day on our trip otherwise the battery would die mid day on the second day.
