Does the battery need to be removed to charge the FinePix Z30? Don't want to remove the battery to charge it. What's the charging procedure for this camera?Thanks

I bought this camera yesterday and yes I did have to remove the battery to charge it. It only took me 3 hours to charge and it's really simple to place the battery back into the camera. All you have to do it take out the small flat battery into the charging station and connect it to the outlet. I too didn't want to charge my camera like this first, but it's really not that bad.

My older Fuji had a docking system for the battery, and I think all the Fuji digital camera's are that way too. I don't like removing the battery to charge it either.

there's a cable that hooks in the camera when the battery is inside, and into the wall socket to recharge. I ordered a separate charger they are really cheap. camera comes with extra battery already so I will be all set to swap the battery out without having to hook up the camera to do it :o)

No. You have to charge the battery while in the camera.Great clarity of photo's from this budget camera.

Just got the z950...How long do you charge the battery (the first charge)??How do you get the battery out, to replace it??

You have to charge it outside the camera. It's a very good idea to have a spare battery, as your battery will inevitably run down at the worst possible moment. Be aware that Canon will not honor the warranty if a non-Canon battery causes a problem. That didn't stop me from buying a cheaper, third-party battery as a back-up, though, as the cost difference was substantial.

You need to get the appropriate size battery charger. The battery comes out of the camera and gets inserted into the charger.

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

Yes, you put it in the battery charger that came with your camera (or bought separately). It's a rechargeable battery and needs to be charged before using it. Hope that helps!

Remove the battery tray any time the camera will not be in use. The camers draws power even when turned off. You will find the batteries will hold their charge,if you remove the tray from the grip

The baterry is charged when it is in the camera. There is a power adapter with USB cabel for it. There is no separate battery charger. But it is also not really needed

You charge the battery while in camera. I bought extra batteries and a out of camera charger because we take a lot of pictures.

Mine does not. Battery is removed for charging. Have tried to charge with the USB cable and camera isn't set up to charge this way. The battery charger is setup for a wall outlet. Battery lasts a long time. Have not needed a second battery with this camera.

I believe the battery is hard wired into the camera. If you can not get it to charge, its time to replace the camera

No, you charge using the camera and a mini USB attached to a power supply which then goes into a wall socket. I bought an extra battery and charge it as well and am OK for many,many, pics.

I don't own this camera, but I'm hearing it does not have a seprate charger. It charges on the camera. The battery has been around for a while, and you should be able to find an external charger cheaply.

No. You charge the battery inside the camera, which sucks, but it seems that's how most the manufactures are doing it. I always buy a spare battery and charger for my cameras. You can get these at Amazon for under $30 and they work great.

The camera comes with a charger. Just easily remove the battery from the camera, put it in the charger. A light on the charter turns green when fully charged.
