A question for those that own a G9X. I picked one up a few days ago and just beginning to explore all its features. I liked the fact that I could charge via USB. However, I have connected a standard USB cable to the camera and getting mixed results. Sometimes I see the "orange" indicator coming on showing that charging is taking place (but turns off shortly afterwards - battery still low). Other times I won't see the orange indicator, even though the battery is requiring a charge. I tried different USB cables. Also tried various adapters for the USB power source (wall outlet, computer port, etc.) But I'm not having any success in charging via USB.

Anyone else experiencing problems with charging by USB?

Thanks,

Peter

Same exact thing with me. My husband even contacted Canon support to make sure we were doing it right, and we were, but it doesn't charge the battery. Sometimes the charge light will come on then go off, but the battery is never charged. I was looking forward to it. I charge my Fuji F30 in camera only for 7 years, so I really wanted that feature.

So sorry, I know how you feel.
