Does battery really have to stay in camera for charging?

you can charge the battery inside the camera - that's the only way you can charge it out of the box. However, you can purchase a separate charger. I just ordered a Lenmar charger and Lenmar batteries that are compatible with the Nikon P100. waiting for them to come in.

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

I've never done it that way. I have a couple of chargers and I always remove the battery, charge it, and put it back into the camera. I have several batteries and a couple different Lumix bodies. I don't even know how to charge the battery inside the camera!

Yes, the camera functions normally while plugged in. I'm pretty sure it actually charges the battery even while recording.

No. You need to remove the battery from the camera, insert it into the included charger, plug it into the wall and let 'er rip. Doesn't take very long.

It depends if you are going moved around with the camera because the power adapter is not long enough to moved around. But if you are going to stay in one location while charging then that's perfectly fine.

the battery is in camera and is removable but I charge it by keeping the battery in the camera and charging it with the cable that is included with camera. It is not however, a USB cable

Not directly. You leave the battery in the camera and plug the camera in to charge

Yes. They also offer an accessory that lets you charge the battery without removing it from the camera.

Yes, it comes with its own battery pack that will never need removal. If you choose to purchase an extra battery you can. The camera plugs into a charger to charge

Yes - that's the normal way to recharge it. There's no equipment provided for charging outside the camera.

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.

Yes, it takes a few hours to fully charge, but the battery holds a charge for a LONG time. I have only had to charge mine a few times since I bought the camera

The battery does not have to charged while it is on the camera. Also, you can charge the Canon original batteries with the charger that is provided in this kit.
