Canon G16 charging cable

charleyhorse — Mon, 25 May 2015 15:49:19 GMT

I did not get a cable with my G16. Can anyone tell me which cable I can use to charge the battery in the camera? Does Canon sell such a cable?

Thanks.

Don

Any USB cable with a Mini-B plug will connect your camera to your computer but you charge the battery in the battery charger that you should have gotten unless you bought it used and missing items. The cable is just to connect to the computer for using the software from what I see.

This is what is included with a new G16, a very nice camera by the way

	PowerShot G16 Digital Camera
	Battery Pack NB-10L
	Battery Charger CB-2LC
	Neck Strap NS-DC11

For some reason Canon dosnt supply the cable when you buy the camera.

I dont own a G16 but maybe it can charge via the USB cord but I saw no mention of it in your manual...maybe someone esle will chime in and say otherwise.

I think John has the right info there. I don't know of any high end Canon cameras that cherge via a cable.

I would never consider this a high-end camera, but it is disappointing to not to recharge in the body. I have confirmed this. If you attach most Powershot cameras to a computer, they become removable storage and the camera starts draining the battery. The power light will be on, and your screen will be on for a few seconds.

Yes and I didn't realize your camera uses the same battery as my SX50HS which is 7.4 volts a USB connection only supplies 5 volts so it will have to run off the battery.
