Is this camera dual-voltage so I can use it internationally on the higher wattage electricity?

The external charger does show 110~240. I believe any charger you use to connect it to should control the voltage and or amperage. I use a USB connector to my lap top generally so I know the output is not very high. Charges fine.

I am no electrician.. so take this with a grain of salt. I took a small voltage adapter/ transformer to plug things into in 1993 (and the plug shapes are different in Europe compared to the US) So, it is not the camera as much as the plug/transformer. The camera would be great for a European trip. I would look on travel websites to ask the question.. which is good one... ?AAA or Rick Steve,

There are apparently people using this attached to a 9v battery brick and using it without problem. Meanwhile, someone put a volt meter on Sony's own AC adapter and it seemed to deliver 8.4v (despite saying 7.6 on the label). I'm under the impression these cameras can handle a range of acceptable voltage.

It uses a 120v here, so it would not work overseas unless you use a converter.

I seem to remember a similar question and the answer involved voltage selections for foreign travel. If that is still important to you should go to PANASONIC . COM and give them a call. I wish you the best in this endeavor. ROD S.

My camera came with a dual voltage charger, but as I recall it did not come with adapters for the various socket configurations in the world.

According to the box, it is 120V (see customer pictures). I have not tried it outside the US to see if it is actually dual voltage.

It is 7.4v with 2000mAh. It made too much power available. That's why it was redesigned to 7.2v with 1080. It won't hurt the electronics of the camera. The camera was designed for that kind of power.

Yes. The power supply that came with the camera is rated for an AC Input ranges from 100 ~ 240V 50/60Hz. 28 - 36VA. I am sure you know that you will probably need an adapter to plug into to 220V outlet in India.

Dear Customer, This item is dual voltage for worldwide use. Thanking you, EWO

it is dual voltage, meaning that with the proper adapter it will work internationally.

No, this is not dual voltage. It only works for 110V and the plug is US type plug. If you intend to use it overseas then would need 220 to 110 converter. Hope this helps!

The camera can only handle 110 volts. If the adapter reduces the voltage from 220 to 110 it would be ok but I would be very careful.

No but you can buy a charger which allows you to charge it on either voltage with the proper dual wattage converter that can be purchased at any electronics store. After market portable chargers are cheap and they work better than charging the battery through the camcorder. These after market chargers claim to be dual wattage but I purchased a wttage converter adapter set from a electronic store which I use with the charger. Unless you are traveling to Europe you don't need the converter. Cruise ships have regular house hold plugs and they work with the portable charger just fine.

Hi,Yes, as long as the camera needs less than 1300 Watt.Regards,KarenCS Email Representative

More than likely, yes you will need some type of voltage/wattage converter. However I'm not sure what India uses in terms of power whether it's 110 or 220, may want to Google that if you're unsure. Two quick thoughts though, I'd personally suggest not to buy this particular unit. Went through two of them and they both crapped out on me after a day. Second go to an electronics store like radio shack or maybe amazon has them as well. But you'll probably want to find an adapter that can plug into the type of plug used in India. If you don't understand the difference between an adapter and converter think of it this way. An adapter is like using a micro SD card, but your camera takes a full size SD card, so you get an adapter to make it full sized. The converter regulates the power coming out of the wall, which is what this product on this page will do. Sorry if that was redundant, but sometimes people need it spelled out. Enjoy your trip though!

The worldwide edition is what I currently have and it has the dual voltage, so make sure of the model you are intending on buying... good luck !!

Absolutely not. You most likely will end up frying your camera, the power supply or both. Look for a more heavy power supply that can support 1500ma. It might be more expensive now, but in the long run you will be happy you did.
