Does this camera able to take video while it is charging? Mine only works when you unplug the power cable

I keep mine plugged in and it still records. Try starting the recording and then plugging it in.

Mine is always plugged into an electrical outlet, that is to say, it is always charging and it works fine. I know from having tried it, it records video with or without being plugged into an outlet.

It should be able to take video while charging. I keep mine on the charger 24/7 so I can save battery.

I wish I could help you... the camera was working fine as I had tested it before my trip. The day before my trip I went to use the camera and could not get it to charge or work at all.

no you can us your computer's USB to charge it but it takes longer than if you used the video power Adapter. I use my Adapter all the time especially if you do not want your videos to be transferred to your computer.

Yes, the receiver shows video while charging. Works pretty well so far. Good luck...

It saves it to your device. If you set up an account on the website, you can also view them there as well. If the camera is unplugged of course, it will not take any pictures, but you would have a pic before it was unplugged, a video also if you insert a micro sd card and set up that feature under settings.

No this product does not record while being charged. No it does not auto start over when the sd card is full. It appears to be using the same camera chip set as the 808 Camera, save for more current firmware (#16), which DOES have the functionality you were mentioning.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

Hi, the camera need DC 5V power supply. If the voltage below 5V, it will stop work, thank you!

It does but what I understand is that it only does that under battery power since the same cable is used for both. I've only done recording with it and my only complaint is that there is no zoom feature on this Zoom camera.

The camera works while plugged in to the AC plug on the back of the camera. I am unsure what you mean my "battery charger". If you mean the camera as a battery charger, yes it works with or without the battery while plugged in. If by "battery charger" you mean an external charger that is separate from the camera I am unaware of the answer.

When the camera is connected to a computer, it is recognized on both sides as an external storage device. When the camera is hooked to a (3rd party?) USB charger it is probably doing auto-shut down, etc and no longer recieving a charge-that would be my guess. I think it is possible to turn off the auto shut down/power save feature, it's worth a try

The answers is yes, when it works. It's a horrible cam and it no longer works. I strongly do NOT recommend waisting $$ on this cam

No- while it's true the charging process is done with the whole camera plugged in, you CAN USE THE CAMCORDER using AC- the charging will be suspended for the time you record, and resume once you turn off the camera again.

my camera is working and it is 2 years since I bought it, I normally leave it on the computer after downloading the pictures to make sure it is always fully charged. I hardly use the power cable to charge.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

Hi Whitedove, Sony HDRPJ275 Camcorder can record while the battery is charging. -Vincent

Probably, mine don't do that. Or could be a defective camera or Cable.I did use a different cable in my install. Mine work perfect.
