Its not possible. You can only charge the battery with an external charger.

There are dummy batteries that can power the camera from the cable, but they are difficult to find. There are some DIY solutions if you are up to that.

Thank you for the answer,Otto. I think it's ok to charge the battery with the charger anyway,also I'm not so good at electronic,so I'm not up to the DIY solutions.

Massao, did you ever find a solution for the NX1000 to keep it charged while in operation?

I'm in the same boat and looking for a solution, any help would be appreciated.
