Yes. The Sony ZV-E10 II supports both internal battery charging and external power through its USB-C port. Sony specifies USB Power Delivery compatibility.
What battery does the ZV-E10 II use?
The camera uses Sony’s NP-FZ100 rechargeable battery.
Can you charge the battery inside the camera?
Yes. Sony lists internal charging through the USB Type-C terminal.
Can the camera run from USB power while it is on?
Yes. Sony separately lists USB power supply support through the USB-C terminal. That is useful for long recording sessions, streaming, interviews, and fixed camera setups.
What USB-C charger should you use?
Sony’s support guidance for this model says that fast charging requires a USB Power Delivery device with an output of at least 18W, or 9V/2A, together with a USB-C to USB-C cable that supports USB PD and is rated for 3A or higher.
Does any USB-C cable provide the same features?
No. USB-C describes the connector. The cable and power source still need to support the required power and data standards. A cable that charges a phone slowly may not support high-speed USB data or the power level Sony recommends.
Why cable choice matters for streaming too
The ZV-E10 II supports SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps. Sony says 4K and Full HD USB streaming require a computer and cable that support that standard. A USB 2.0 connection can reduce the actual output resolution.
