Please can you tell why and where you read about it ? Is it only true for the first original battery coming with the body (aka it has something to do with the body) ? Or is this also valid for any spare batteries bought separately (it has something to do with the batteries themselves and their coupling with the body ) ?... do charge the internal battery through
usb the first time at least.
The internal camera battery that maintains settings, clock, etc only gets charged by plugging the USB in and charging it when the camera comes from factory.Please can you tell why and where you read about it ?
