Do you have to put the lens on to take pictures, and what kind of batteries does it use? Hopefully, it's a rechargeable battery pack.

Yes. You do have to have a lens on to take pictures. It is a lithium battery so it is rechargeable. Hope it helps!

You do have to put the lens on and it uses a rechargeable battery pack that comes with the camera
1752291
Yes, rechargeable battery pack. The lens comes with the camera, and yes, you just leave it on all the time... unless you want to switch it out for a lens of a different size that you have bought separately.

YES...you must put a lens on to take a photo!! As for the battery pack, it has a rechargeable battery .The battery and charger comes with the camera. The battery is # DMW BLE9.

You have to put the lens on when taking pictures, or the image will be upside-down. Digital Cameras need more power to operate, so it dose use rechargeable battery pack.
1752294
Yes, I need to put on the lens to take pictures. The camera itself doesn't include lens. It is a rechargeable Li battery and It's very good.
1752295
Yes you have to put the lense on and it does come with a rechargeable battery

It works with any Micro Four Thirds-size lens, and this includes m43 to older lens adapters, which look awesome!

I did not try to take a picture without putting the lens on so I would no know that. It comes with a rechargable battery and charging unit.

It takes 2 AA batteries. Get good batteries and they last quite a long time. My experience with rechargeable batteries is that they discharge faster than regular batteries (lose the charge) so the mechanism moves more slowly as the power gives up. So you wind up missing an action shot. But it's a good little camera and once you learn the settings (little icons), it's fun and takes good to great pictures.

Yes it does use a rechargeable lithium battery and auto focus is great but after about 20 pictures had to send back for warranty work. When turned on takes 30 to 35 seconds before you can take any pictures not 1 1/2 seconds as advertised.

The camera uses it's own rechargeable battery. Battery life has been really good for me, which is a surprise because most that come with their own batteries tend to die quickly. Of course, I do shoot quite a bit thru the viewfinder. I also purchased some off-brand replacement batteries for spare swaps off Amazon and they were very affordable and work well.

Yes, It has a rechargable battery. It last a long time between charges. I bought an extra battery pack so I'll always be ready. They are super nice cameras with lots of features. Great zoom!

Yes, actually I use rechargeable batteries AA. I have two brands, phillips and sony, and Sony batteries work much more better. If you use Sony batteries around 2000 mAh (I think mine are 2100) camara will last a long long time. Sony charger worked excellent with sony and other brands batteries. Besides that, this canon take good pictures with the right day light, not at noght (like most of its kind), and flash consumes a lot of battery and takes some time to recharge after the light. But for the price, is great. The optical zoom is good, the digital is not. And finally, it has also manual settings. Yes, actually I use rechargeable batteries AA.

No lens. No way to attach them. However, do recommend the Sanyo eneloop AA 1500 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack. Purchase the Charger SANYO Eneloop 4-Position Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Charger White which includes the 4 batteries. Will save you money for the first set. Than, purchase another set. I purchased three sets of 4 and have yet to use two of the four sets, even on long shoots. These are 1800 mAh batteries which carry a very long charge. Plus, they carry the charge for a huge amount of time while waiting to be used. I've been able to get about 300 photos, most with flash and reviewing in between shots, plus a few 4-10 min HD videos before the batteries go dead. No lens. No way to attach them.

Yes. It will take regular aa or rechargeable. Depending on how many pictures you are going to take, it's worth the small investment for the rechargeable batteries.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

No, I have never heard of a lens requiring batteries. It functions as all other lenses that connect to DSLR cameras, using the camera battery to power the lens.

Yes, the battery is rechargable, though only in the camera (which is a pain if you are shooting a lot of images). There are aftermarket chargers and batteries so you need not be limited.
2062943
No, it takes rechargeable batteries-the camera comes with a battery. The battery has a long life, have had no issue with ours.

The batteries were store bought and rechargeable. I have found them to last much longer than my previous Olympus camera. Very satisfied with battery life. I hope this is useful information.

No way, no batteries needed for lens. Your camera, of course, still requires batteries.

To be frank. Yes. But I find my rechargeable batteries can be used for about 20 minutes, then I turn the camera off. The next time I turn it on I get about 10-15 before the batteries need to be recharged, but I always carry two sets of rechargeable batteries. I wouldn't advise this camera if you don't use rechargeables (batteries), otherwise it's an extra $75-200 a year depending on what batteries you use.

Use 2 AAA batteries. Although I haven't used rechargeable ones I don't know why they wouldn't work. They will not last long. I always keep an extra set with the camera.

It uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack (en-el19). It is specific to this model, maybe others but not my old coolpix. It's similar in shape to my old nikon coolpix battery but slightly smaller. I was sad I couldn't use the same batteries from my old coolpix because they are still good lol. Oh well.
