Can I use the AC power adapter and battery charger overseas?

Content Id: 8200559200


Solution

This digital camera can be used overseas. Please refer to the following things when you plan to use it overseas.

The dedicated AC adapter kit and the battery charger are compatible with AC100 to 240V, 50/60Hz power supplies.

You need to use a power adapter when you plug in your camera or the battery charger in areas using different types of power outlets. (There might be cases where the power outlet types differ within a country depending on the area.) For information about power adapters, consult with a local travel agency or home appliance shops.
