Can the battery for the Canon 400D camera be recharged over USB?
I’ve left my charger behind but I have PC here with USB ports.

I doubt it. Some of the Samsung compacts can but I never heard of a DSLR that could.

Thanks. I’m going out tomorrow hopefully there’ll be enough power for what I want.

In short, no, you can’t.

I don’t think any SLR can be charged like that, but I know the Canon certainly can’t.

Try not using the LCD screen on your camera, that will save you half of the energy..
