How long are you suppose to charge your camera ?
Q. I have got a canon powershot SD780 IS Are you suppose to charge it longer than usually for the first charge ? How many hours should i charge it for ? If I charged it for an hour, took it out, and put it back in, for the first charge, will it screw up the first charge ?

A. The answer to your last question is no. Just as the manufacturers state, you should charge the camera the first time overnight even if after an hour the camera battery indicator might say full charge. Will it instantly kill your battery? No. Will it reduce the life of the battery? Maybe a little bit, maybe a moderate amount. Will you be able to notice it? Probably not.
