took about five minutes to charge. Bad sign. I hope I don't have to change the battery. The capacity of the battery is not specified in the documentation. Charging time 2 to 3 hours. I hope it hasn't deteriorated over time. If this camera is more than 6 years old. The battery is almost empty. I will test the camera. i can replace the battery if it is still for sale the sd card is read through the computer while i wear glasses perfect try to get it to work windows 10 says you have a malfunction.
