Can you record video while charging camera battery in the camera?

3 years 7 months ago #696215 by Lisa Brookhurst
If your camera battery is half charged and you have a Sony or Canon, can you plug the camera into some AC and charge away while the battery is getting charged?  

I don't want to try and find out that I screwed something up.  

Thank you

Depends on which model. Older ones, no. Newer ones, maybe, depending on model.

Do you need to have special battery or can that be plugged into the micro USB port?

It does take a certain type of battery to be used and charged at the same time in camera, but it has more to do with which model of camera you have. There are dummy batteries that you can buy that take the place of your real battery and they have connections to external power sources. If you don't know about your specific camera, this would be the way to do it. Here is one example but remember it is camera specific.
