Can you charge the camera via computer?

A battery charger comes with the camera package contents. Connect the power cord to the charger and plug into a power outlet. When charging is finished, temp light turns green. Remove the battery.

Yes. It can be charged via a direct USB connection to a computer but it also comes with an adapter to connect the USB cable to a regular electrical outlet.

I charge it by plugging it into an outlet but, I'm sure you can charge it by computer too. Hope that helps

Yes there is a plug in with a USB slot and a cord that fits into the camera. You can also charge it by plugging the USB into your computer.

Yes and no. There is a charger designed specifically for these batteries. The USB cable will do the job I think, but I have no idea how long it will take. As far as moving files from the camera to the computer, the easiest thing to do is to take the SD card out of the camera and insert it into the slot on your computer. Theoretically, attaching the camera to the computer via this cable and then turning on the camera should cause some software to be transferred to the computer and installed. This did not happen for me, maybe because I got the camera from someone else who had already done this. Yes and no. There is a charger designed specifically for these batteries.

The camera came with a cable that allowed you to plug it into a USB port where it would charge as well as be available for downloading and etc. A well equipped computer store will probably have it. Have you searched Amazon for this specific cable. Or, try Google.

Yes, just plug charger into wall and plug cable into the small USB port on the camera and the battery will charge. And to clarify, it should also be picking up a charge by plugging the cable into any laptop or desktop, since almost all USB ports transmit power as well as data.

The camera charges through a USB connection. This connection can be made to a PC or through the included AC Adapter.

You can use the supplied USB cable to connect it to your computer to charge. Once charged it lasts for ages

Yep, same answer as the others. The computer will power the camera. An alternate solution that I like(because I don't like storing or carrying cables) is to get a micro SD to SD card converter, which you can then insert directly into the computer.

No. You charge it by plugging it (with the supplied cable) into the USB port on your computer when you download pictures you've taken. It charges pretty fast, though. I am very happy with this camera and highly recommend it.

According to my manual, it can be charged through the computer. It has the USB connector; the plug for the wall outlet is actually an adapter into which the user plugs the USB cord. I haven't actually tried the USB/computer recharge yet. Although the battery is replaceable (by ordering from Panasonic), you can only recharge it when it's in the camera. I haven't tried to buy a replacement battery at any local retail outlets.
