It can be plugged in via USB as a webcam, for file transfer, or printing, but there's no way to use it in "normal" camera mode without the battery. USB is the only external power source - and works without the battery - but only as an external webcam connected to a computer.

The battery has to be charged in an external charger. You can't even charge it in the camera, even if you connect the camera to the optional AC adapter

Yes, but it doesn't charge the way most cameras do. It comes with a battery, USB cable and AC power adapter. The camera (with battery inside) is connected via the supplied USB cable to the AC power adapter for charging. Previous models required removing the battery the camera and using an external battery charger. I actually prefer the previous system, since you could buy an extra battery and charge it independent of 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.

Jacki, you cab use a usb phone charger to do the same. If you look up the manual on the SONY site it will give you a picture of the actual cord that came with the camera.

No, it comes with an external wall charger. I believe it can only be charged while outside of the camera.

Not sure about charging but I would not recommend this camera to anyone! Very unhappy broke in less than 6 months.

No it cannot be powered via USB, the USB is only used to transfer data from the Camcorder.

It can charge all of the above; however, regarding the camera, I'm not positive. But if you have a a usb cord that works with the camera it will be able to charge.

Yes. It comes with a USB cord and "wall wart" power supply. I was disappointed it does not come with a battery charger for charging the battery outside of the camera. You have to charge the battery while it's in the camera unless you buy an accessory charger. Amazon has several aftermarket accessory chargers, which include one or two extra batteries for less than $20.

A cord is included that can be plugged into the camera itself while the battery is in it, and that is how the battery is charged. There is not a separate battery charger.

No the USB cord is not included. However, to charge camera you will not need it. Charger plugs into wall, battery fits directly in charger to charge.

Yes it does. Using the cord, you can also recharge the battery in the camera.

It can be but you have to buy a separate charger. In the box you only get a usb cable and you have to plug it into the camera then to your computer or a USB wall outlet. I recommend getting a kit from Amazon which includes a separate wall charger, 2 spare batteries, and an adapter for car charging. Costs less than 20 dollars-just check the reviews to get a good one

It requires a micro-usb power cord, that can be attached either to a computer or an outlet. There is no external battery charger, and batteries will only charge in the camera.

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.
