Can you get an external charger to charge the battery, or can you only charge the battery via USB while it is in the camera?

Hi Sudbury, yes, you can charge the battery outside the camera. We recommend using the travel charger BC-TRX. Thanks_Mitch

Any usb port (computer, audio, car, etc. providing 5 volts cc) on where you can plug the camera charging cord should work. Remember that the battery can be charged only installed in the camera. For long events I recomend to carry a charged spare battery. Hope this will help.

I don't own this camera, but I'm hearing it does not have a seprate charger. It charges on the camera. The battery has been around for a while, and you should be able to find an external charger cheaply.

It doesn't come with a charger, you just plug the camera in with the battery inside to charge it. So in order to have a spare charging you would need a charger which is sold separately.

You need to connect charger directly to the camera. The battery, when fully charged, will last for a while.

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.

No, the battery charges outside the camera. The charger is included with the camera.

You charge the battery while in the camera, but you should also look into buying a separate charger. Amazon does offer a package (charger with two batteries) for around $25/$26 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D2CSIUW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No, you need to use the charger that came with the camera or buy a 3rd party one, which are great.

Yes, you can take battery out of the camera and place it in the charger (which comes with the package) and charge.

It requires a micro-usb power cord, that can be attached either to a computer or an outlet. There is no external battery charger, and batteries will only charge in the camera.

You get an A/C adapter and USB cable which connect to the camera and the battery charges inside the camera, no stand-alone battery charger.

Yes in that you can charge the battery by plugging the whole camera into the USB cable. The battery is not removable from the camera and cannot be charged separate from the camera. But the USB cable is included in the purchase.

Try charging the battery with a "battery charger" that usually comes with the camera.

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.
