USB-C battery charging on R-series cameras saved my vacation shooting

Went away and realized I forgot my battery charger. Dismayed, I tried to conserve battery usage but it only goes so far. Then as the battery icon started flashing, it occurred to me that R-series cameras can charge the battery in-camera. Later that day grab my laptop’s USB-C charger, plug it in to the camera, and voilà! Battery charging!

So just a reminder to all about this feature if you find yourself without the normal battery charger but have a standard USB-C PD charger.

(Aside: Canon’s PD-E1 charger is stupid expensive and likely no different than a standard PD charger.)
