Can I charge Canon M50 without charger?

cocoapages — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 21:39:41 GMT

I forgot my Canon M50 battery charger.

1. Can I charge the battery by plugging the camera using a micro-USB?

2. How do I know that the camera is charging the battery?

Thanks!

NO you can NOT charge the camera via Micro-USB. Only certain EOS R series cameras support charging over USB Type C. NO EOS M camera supports this feature.

Not entirely correct. The M6 Mark II can be charged with the USB ports.

This is only compatible with the LP-E6NH battery no other battery support this.

Really, this is not correct. In the Canon EOS M6-II manual, on page 556, there is an explanation of how to charge the LP-E17 battery in-camera. On that page, they try to get you to buy a special canon charger, but from many of the forums on DP Review and other places, people seem to have the best luck with a single-purpose USB-C charger. I charge mine directly from my Macbook 16" USB-C port as well as with specific.

Also, I don't understand your reference to an LP-E6NH battery. We're talking LP-E17 for this camera.

But as a last piece of advice, if you buy a charger, verify that it works before you start traveling.
