Can i charge my camera with the usb - Fuji Finepix Z20fd Digital Camera

Not all cameras charge from the USB cord. Also there are some USB cords for data, some for charging.

Some phones charge the battery in the camera like a phone, but many do not. This camera has a USB connection, which is meant to be used to transfer photos from the camera to a computer. If your (now lost) charger was plugged into the camera to charge it, and it plugged into the USB connector, then you can charge the camera with any lead that will fit the USB connector, as this will have a standard voltage. You can even charge it from the computer, without buying a separate charger.

However, if your charger charged the batteries outside the phone, by removing them from the phone and placing them in the charger, then it is very unlikely that they will charge in the phone, whatever you connect to it. I have a camera just like this, that requires an external charger.

No you cannot use USB to charge camera, as it doesn't support USB charging.

The computer will only charge when the camera is switched off.
Try a different computer. It will usually only work from a desktop.

Try a different USB outlet
Try a different USB cable

Hi!

USB charging is not possible. You need to have the battery charger to be able to fully charge the battery. This should come along with the camera kit.

USB charging is possible if you will buy this: http://fujifilm.co.uk/consumer/digital/digital-accessories/usb-chargers-travel-adaptors-153171/world-adaptor-plus-usb-charger

"For charging by USB, simply change the head and plug in your iPod, mobile phone, PDA or any other 5V USB powered device to keep it fully charged wherever you are."

Very few cameras will charge through USB ports. This is only to connect to computer to access pictures. Your camera will not charge via USB. I suggest to many people that using cameras that take AA batteries is the best cameras to buy when traveling. Many camera owner fall victim to different voltage outlets when travelling.

It is not possible to charge the digital camera using USB cable.

try changing the USB cord to avoid purchasing one, bring your camera to your retailer and ask them if you can try to charge it there, if it does you have to purchase a new USB cable through myaccessorymall.com if the camera is still in warranty, you can try to call samsung and ask them for a new USB cable

I got this camera from my friend's daughter. She told me she only used it a few times and won't charge. At first, I tried to charge it thru the USB port, got a brief green light then 3 red blinks just like others. So, I tried to charge it thru a powered USB hub and it charges. Once it fully charged, I took some pictures and tried to charge it again thru a regular USB (not the powered USB hub I used earlier) and it is charging right now. This is also true for a certain cell phones. If you let the battery drained its power completely all the way, you must charge it with a high current charger to wake up the battery before you can charge thru USB port.

Are you using the front usb ports on your computer? My computer's front usb ports were not able to charge my camera, but the rear usb ports were able to (the charging light should stay on if it's charging correctly). I'm not an expert on this stuff, so maybe there's a power output difference between your frontal and rear usb ports.

Also, on the CD there was a camera connection driver. You might try installing that and see if that makes a difference?
