Battery charging? So before I end up buying a camera that needs 6000 accessories - how does one recharge the battery for the camera?

Hi Karen,This was a Christmas gift for my husband so I asked him. He says he uses "re-chargeable" batteries and that he doesn't leave the camera on all of the time. When he see the message about the battery being exhausted he simply turns it off and it will re-charge a bit. But he has a charger and uses that too. So, I agree with the other answer, you need to get re-chargeable batteries and a charger. It is a really nice little camera.

It comes with a small battery charger. You can't charge the battery in the camera.

Yes, you put it in the battery charger that came with your camera (or bought separately). It's a rechargeable battery and needs to be charged before using it. Hope that helps!

In addition to the camera, I received a manual on DVD, wrist strap, cable and a/c adapter for charging. You can easily find extra batteries and a charger that allows for charging the battery out of the cam. If I plan on shooting all day away from convenient power, I like to have 2-3 extra batteries.batteries with me.

I use the camera from time to time and the battery charges in a couple of hours so I think you need to buy new ones only if you use the camera so frecuently that don´t give time enough to charge the battery.

You charge the camera, not just the battery, by attaching the USB cord to the camera at one end and the USB-AC Adapter at the other and then plugging the whole setup into the wall outlet. It can take up to 4 hours to charge. You can also charge it the same way through your computer but it can take much longer. The battery is wafer thin and tiny. Because it is so small it doesn't allow as many shots as say a DSLR battery or a larger compact camera. So I have purchased a backup battery at Amazon so I always have one with a full charge ready to shoot.

The battery has to be charged in an external charger. You can't even charge it in the camera, even if you connect the camera to the optional AC adapter

That is the only way to charge the battery. They supply a USB with a special end for their camera AND a USB wall plug.

The camera doesn't need to be charged, but I'm cautious about having batteries handy when in use. So far I haven't had any problem with batteries going dead quickly, but I'm sure that depends on how often you use it and if you use videos, etc. I believe you can purchase rechargeable batteries, but I haven't done that. Hope this helps!

I usually get several hundred pictures on a charge. I did buy an external charger and two spare batteries (from "Big Mike" on Amazon, very affordable), but rarely find that I need to swap batteries during a day of shooting.

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 battery charges in the camera through a USB-to-wall outlet connector. You can buy a charger specifically for the battery if you want though.

1) no. 2) I have used a battery pack and it charges the camera's battery just fine 1-4 hours and during this downtime you cannot use the camera till it is finished charging. After my purchase I contacted the company and asked several questions also made a few recommendations as a customer that could make the camera more user friendly etc. No response! I am currently researching for another camera that will fit my needs and use this one as a backup or spare.

I agree with earlier answers. The external battery charger from Amazon has worked well for me for the several months I've owned the camera. I keep a battery charging so that I can swap in a fresh battery at the beginning of a day of heavy shooting, or carry it as a spare if the battery in the camera dies. The external charger that I purchased came with two batteries, so that means I have three batteries to play with.
