Do you have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it?

The simple answer is yes... How else would you be able to put the battery in the charger?
233331
Yes, with this charger, you have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it.
233332
yes, battery slips in to charger slot, then charger plugs into wall. Charger does not plug into camera

The XZ-1 is designed to charge the battery installed inside the camera. That's the normal way. I prefer to have an extra battery fully charged at all times. That's where this charger comes in handy for charging a battery outside the camera. So the answer is in or out.

Yes you must remove the battery from the camera. This is an external charger. I normally charge my extra battery this way so I always have a fresh battery handy.

Nope, it has a battery that comes with it. While I hated the camera I did like that I didn't have to take out the battery to charge it, I was able to connect the charging cable directly to the camera.

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

You leave the battery in the camera and plug into the wall...so basicly it's self contained to charge the battery.

The camera comes with a charger that plugs directly into the camera so there is no need to remove the battery to charge it. The camera can also be charged by plugging it into a USB port on your computer. I also baught a extra battery for when I was traveling just in case.

No, you cannot charge the camera without taking it from the case completely.

Yes but as the other reviewers say, the charger plugs into the camera. You can buy an external charger, however.

No, you charge using the camera and a mini USB attached to a power supply which then goes into a wall socket. I bought an extra battery and charge it as well and am OK for many,many, pics.

No. You charge the battery inside the camera, which sucks, but it seems that's how most the manufactures are doing it. I always buy a spare battery and charger for my cameras. You can get these at Amazon for under $30 and they work great.

No, it comes with one of those little 'cartridge' batteries that is rechargeable. On this model, you just plug the whole camera into the wall with a cord that comes with it. It's really easy and you don't have to mess with the battery plugging in and out. My husband has another model where he uses AA batteries and the cover wouldn't stay shut so he duct-taped it shut. Not too cool. My larger Nikon has to have the battery removed and charged in it's own little charger so this camera charging is way nicer in my opinion. Hope that helps!

Yes it does. One rechargeable battery. And a wall plug-in that you hook up your camera to via a USB cable (included) to charge. Battery must be in the camera to charge.

No, it comes without external charger.You charge it by connect the camera to power directly.

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, but the battery has to be charged in the camera. Not a big deal, but it ties up your camera while the battery is charging. You can buy a charger that will charge the battery outside of the camera, and leave your camera free to use with a spare battery.

No, the camera comes with a charger that holds the whole battery independent of the camera. Once you take the battery out of the camera and load it into the charger(real easy) you plug the unit into a socket and the charge begins. Lights let you know when it's complete. Nothing is lost by the camera in this procedure.

The baterry is charged when it is in the camera. There is a power adapter with USB cabel for it. There is no separate battery charger. But it is also not really needed

yes. and nice because you can charge the battery in the camera. the charger is very small and you plug it directly into the camera, no need to take the battery out as I did with my previous camera; however the battery is removable in case you want to buy a spare, but I don't think you'd need it - battery lasts a long time
