How does this camera charge? Can it charge from a USB cable plugged directly into the camera?

What comes with the camera is a USB charging cord. So, you must either plug the cord connected to the camera into a USB port on your computer or charging station or into an adapter (not provided with the camera) that will convert it to an AC adapter.

The battery charges inside the camera using the USB cable supplied. The cable is used for both uploading to a computer and plugging into charging plug for charging.

I am by no means an expert on this camera. However, to the best of my knowledge I don't believe the battery will charge using the USB connection. I think it needs to be removed and placed in the wall charger. After reading the question I plugged my camera in to my MacBook using the USB cable ... and there was no indication that the battery was charging. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

You charge the camera using the wire that was supplied and plugging it into a USB port on a computer or if you have an adapter to plug into the wall. The small end goes into a port on the bottom of the camera. There is a little door you need to open and it swings out of the way. It says "A/V/OUT" on the door I refer to. This is also how you transfer your pictures to your computer. You would plug it into your computer USB port and using a file manager, copy files from the camera to your computer. I was disappointed with this method and would not recommend this camera to others because of it. I prefer a removable card, this camera's memory is all internal.

The camera comes with a charger that plugs into the USB port of your computer OR has a plug adaptor with it. It does need a full charge when it arrives (mine had just a tiny amount of charge on it).

No, it's charged with a USB cord to the camera, but you can get a separate charger and battery from several sources.

The camera has rechargeable battery (similar to a cell phone battery type) that you can charge via a special USB cable that comes with the camera. The cable will allow you to plug it into a computer or an electrical outlet.

It comes with a cord that you plug directly into the camera and then either into a USB port or a wall outlet. It is NOT one where you remove the battery and just plug that into a charger.

You have to charge it via USB in camera , or get a third party or don't external charger. When charging the camera is not operable, so I highly recommend either an extra battery, or an external charger as the battery life is average at best.

I bought two of these cameras (one personal, one for the office). Both came with USB chords AND wall adapters. Hence, you can charge from the wall or from the computer, with the battery IN the camera. The cameras did NOT come with a charger for charging the battery OUT of the camera. Hope this helps.

It comes with a charging cable that can be hooked to the camera and the other end to a power source. There is no mechanism to take out the battery and charge.

Yes, it has a very short USB cable. The cable plugs into the side of the camera

You charge the camera by plugging it into the wall with a cord that comes with it. It does hold a charge pretty long.

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.

No. You charge the camera through the USB cable, the same one used to upload videos and pictures to your computer. I just connect up to do the upload and leave it connected to charge...easy!
