digital camera...
okay, so yeah...i am very dumb when it comes to most technology. So I got a digital camera for christmas and i'm using the batteries it came with and i have no idea how to charge it now that it's dead. So yeah, i went through my entire booklet trying to find it, but i have had no luck...I have a ViviCam 5100 so if anyone knows what i'm supposed to do or wants to point out how its right in front of my face or really easy and that i'm really technology challenged, that would be helpful since i am utterly confused...

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
hey, instead of searching in the manual on how to charge it try searching for a hotline number or email adress. if you cant find that then go to the store you got the camera from and ask for help. good luck =].

One of the following:
-Get new batteries.
-Get rechargable batteries.
-See if it came with a dock/charger to put it on.

Dear How do I charge the batteries in a Vivitar Vivicam 5100,
I don't know if this will make you feel better, or worse, but I have the answer for you...
You can't figure out how to charge the batteries that shipped with your Vivicam5100 because... they are regular alkaline batteries. :-)
The camera doesn't have facilities to recharge batteries onboard, because they expect you to buy an endless stream of top quality disposable batteries. :-(
Of course, you can work around this by purchasing a regular charger for AA batteries and a few sets of AA rechargeable batteries.
I recommend NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) or Lion (Lithium Ion) type rechargeables.
Do NOT use old fashioned NiCAD (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, as they are completely outmoded, and very bad for delicate electronics like your Vivicam 5100.
When you upgrade the camera eventually, always try to get one with factory rechargeable batteries. I am particularly fond of Sony, as their battery life, in my experience is multiple times what others offer in real life usage, while being a high quality camera with all the best features.
I hope you feel better, not worse about this news of disposable batteries. :-)
P.S. I found a page of reviews at Amazon that will give you the lowdown on the quirks of this camera. Very helpful info, and I suggest you read them all, even though some duplicate each other's content:
