I have a different model of this camera. I love it but I did not like the battery slot. Where is it on this camera?

On the bottom. I have had two of these cameras and both times the batteries would not stay put and I would get "low battery" warnings constantly, even after changing the batteries. I replaced this camera after owning it for only a month.

I gave this camera to my brother-in-law for Christmas. I BELIEVE that we had to charge the battery IN the camera when we opened it. I bought a battery charger on Amazon (Wasabi) that was an external charger for my other Sony camera. I always like to have the external one myself. Not too expensive, and you get two more batteries as well. Look up the appropriate model of Wasabi chargers for this camera and you should be ready to go.

you can carefully remove the battery door while you have the grip attached, I store it in my bag as there are time I don't want the battery grip on the camera, so I make sure I can return to the one battery setup.

It is a rechargeable battery, it is not built in you can remove the battery, it gives you the option to get an extra battery or two so you don't have to stop to recharge. For me it's a great camera really nice pics too. I hope I was helpful �

Battery here is not impressive, at least in comparison with my old Lumix LX-3. Turn camera off when not shooting should become a good habit. Also, there is no pause for video shooting and bno ability to get snapshots while playing.

HiThe battery Cannot be removed from the camera. Because of this you cannot change the battery. So you need to be smart how you use the camera.The camera is very good value with some limitations.Richie

Basically, though it is not built in. I had an earlier model with a battery that came out to be charged. This battery looks almost the same but gets charged in the camera.

Can't say since I only have one battery which is in he camera. You might want to check it periodically and maybe charge it for awhile. I hope to purchase another battery eventually. Also have a spare memory stick.

The camera hole is in the upper left hand corner near where the button is to turn it on. If you are holding is horizonally then it would be at the bottom left hand corner.

there's a cable that hooks in the camera when the battery is inside, and into the wall socket to recharge. I ordered a separate charger they are really cheap. camera comes with extra battery already so I will be all set to swap the battery out without having to hook up the camera to do it :o)

It is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, I do not know the model number off hand but you can buy extras/replacements here on amazon starting at $5. The camera comes with a charger, battery and wrist-strap. You will have to buy a memory card separate.

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

Must be a Sony Magic Stick that's comes with camera. Next to the battery inside the compartment. Have fun this is a great camera.

I bought one. I didn't have any trouble finding the settings in the A7 menu and my battery is installed properly without the plastic interrupter strip and I couldn't get it to work. If they shipped it with a dead battery, shame on them. I don't have another. Where is the camera reading the IR signal? Through the lens? Are you supposed to see a light on the front of the remote when you push the button?

I have the same problem. I think the reason is a little switch at the battery compartment. It is meant to prevent power on if you forgot to close the battery door completely. But over time that little switch broke and the camera simply cannot power up again. What a smart idea but poor design. The camera is dead because of such a feeble switch.

Hi A, Take off the battery cover and once the battery is removed you will see the slot for the SD card.
