Does the battery in the camera have to be hooked up to a computer to charge or is the charger a wall unit?

It comes with the battery and charger and can be charged from a wall plug/outlet.

It comes with a battery and you can charge it by connecting the battery to the camera, then connecting the camera's USB cable to your computer or USB wall jack.

According to my manual, it can be charged through the computer. It has the USB connector; the plug for the wall outlet is actually an adapter into which the user plugs the USB cord. I haven't actually tried the USB/computer recharge yet. Although the battery is replaceable (by ordering from Panasonic), you can only recharge it when it's in the camera. I haven't tried to buy a replacement battery at any local retail outlets.

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 charger has a built-in plug in the back of the charger, just like the one that came with the camera - no cord needed. You just place the battery in the charger and plug the charger to the wall and it charges. If you, instead, mean the cord to connect your camera to the computer to upload the pictures, then the answer is no.

No,the battery must be removed from the camera in order to charge it. The charger plugs directly into a wall socket (or extension cord). The camera battery fits into the opening in the front of the charger. The prongs on the charger fold into the back of the charging unit for easy storage when not in use.

Yes, you plug an AC cord into the side of the camera, the other end into a wall outlet, and the battery charges while on the camera. Alternately, you can power the camera with the AC cord. I do believe that you still need to have the battery on the camera when connected to an AC power source.

The wall cord plug is the charger. Plug it into the camera with the battery inside, and it'll charge up the battery.

It comes with a seperate charger. You remove the battery, install it into the charger, plug the charger into the wall and wait a couple of hours. Then reinstall the battery into the camera.

yes. the cord that connects the camera to the computer to transfer pictures doubles as a battery charger. the cord plugs into an ac adapter that you than plug into a regular power outlet to charge the camera.
