Charging the JVC Everio GZ-HM50 series camcorder via the USB port - A howto video!
- 9 years ago
This is a simple one I figured out by chance, and the manual likely says NOTHING about this either.
Simple steps:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Connect the Mini USB cable to the charging source (portable charger/charging pack, wall charger, computer's USB port or USB wall charger) and the camcorder.
3. Re-attach the battery pack.
4. It will start charging right away. Once the light stops blinking and goes out, the battery pack is fully charged, you can unplug the cable.
If you however unplug the USB cable from the charging source, while it's charging and then plug it back in, it'll assume you connected it to a computer and charging will cease. You will have to redo it again for charging to complete.
