I am interested in the Panasonic LF-1 but does anybody have any ideas about charging the battery other than internally in the camera ?

Amazon sells an inexpensive external 3rd party battery charger - works great

There is an external battery charger available on amazon. Do a search for the batteries and the charger will appear as a recommendation

I agree with earlier answers. The external battery charger from Amazon has worked well for me for the several months I've owned the camera. I keep a battery charging so that I can swap in a fresh battery at the beginning of a day of heavy shooting, or carry it as a spare if the battery in the camera dies. The external charger that I purchased came with two batteries, so that means I have three batteries to play with.

Yes - that's the normal way to recharge it. There's no equipment provided for charging outside the camera.

Battery is charged inside the camera. Battery cannot be charged out side of the camera.

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.

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.

Does anyone know if you can re-charge the battery through the USB port while it is still in the camera or only with the charger?

Hello there, the battery is a rechargeable type. You can recharge it with the Panasonic charger .....good luck

The camera comes with an adapter to charge the battery in the camera. The package included a separate wall charge which my wife tends to use the most.

Yes and no - The camera comes with a battery and appropriate cable to charge IT in the camera. It does not come with an external charger, but if you want one, you can get one and two spare batteries, and a car charger, and a European style plug on Amazon for about $25. I recommend you get them there, or just charge the battery in the camera as Panasonic intended. Personally, Id get the charger, batteries, etc., from Amazon so I'd always have a charged battery available, but whatever you do - DON'T FEED THE SCAMMER!!!

Yep just charged it off my laptop USB port this morning. Take a standard micro USB plug. Great camera. Just love it.

It can be recharged in the camera with the provided usb cable. However, I would advise buying a separate charger for convenience. I also boughta second battery, although you must buy the Panasonic brand as the camera is programed only to recognize Panasonic batteries. This means you will pay about double for a battery than you would if this was not programmed into the camera.

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

The camera comes with a rechargeable Lithium battery and charger BUT GOOD LUCK FINDING a REPLACEMENT PANASONIC BATTERY > There's NONE out there!!!

If additional batteries are available for purchase, I would take charged up spares. Having said that, I really don't know if spares are available given that the battery is charged within the camera. Good luck and have a fabulous trip! G&P;

I highly recommend the external charger and an extra battery, so you can be shooting with one while the other is charging. I bought this charger: Panasonic PADEA65BB DE-A65BB Battery Charger for DMW-BCG-10 and this spare battery: Panasonic PADMWBCG10PP DMW-BCG10PP ID Secured Battery They both work well.

I have only used the external charger(LI-400) that came with the camera. When I got any of the replacement batteries I had no problem charging that way, Never used the USB

Sorry, I always charge mine from the wall outlet. You should be able to find a manual on the Internet as the camera I purchased only came with a quick start manual.
