Does the battery need to be removed to charge the FinePix Z30? What's the charging procedure for this camera?

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.

The XZ-1 is designed to charge the battery installed inside the camera. That's the normal way. I prefer to have an extra battery fully charged at all times. That's where this charger comes in handy for charging a battery outside the camera. So the answer is in or out.

Hi Robin, I do not have that answer. It has been charged and holding the charge but not much time on camera usage.

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.

Hi, to charge the battery has to be removed it. The usb is only to import images.

Hi Lynda, You re-charge it in camera using the power cable. You can, however, buy a cheap charger for this battery. I purchased this one http://www.amazon.com/Wasabi-Power-Panasonic-DMW-BCG10E-DMW-BCG10PP/dp/B0049V0ZX8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385106277&sr=1-4&keywords=Panasonic+Lumix+ZS20+charger with extra batteries

The camera comes with a wall charger, take the battery out, put it in the wall plug-in charger, plug into wall until it charges.

You don't charge it through the computer. That cord is only for uploading photos. The battery charges inside the camera with the USB cord that has a outlet plug on the other end. You are using the wrong USB cord. Use the other one that comes with your camera. The one with an electric plug on the end.

Yes. They also offer an accessory that lets you charge the battery without removing it from the camera.

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.

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

No, the battery is charged independent of the camera body via a Direct Plug-In wall charger.

Yes, with this charger, you have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it.

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.

The camera doesn't need to be charged, but I'm cautious about having batteries handy when in use. So far I haven't had any problem with batteries going dead quickly, but I'm sure that depends on how often you use it and if you use videos, etc. I believe you can purchase rechargeable batteries, but I haven't done that. Hope this helps!
