Do I need a power converter for Nikon D5000 camera?
I have a Nikon D5000 camera, bought in the usa.
I was wondering if I'd need to buy a power converter or does nikon sell a charger or such to work for my camera?
Since my charger currently uses 120v-60hz and europe tends to use 220-240v.It'd fry my charger.
Anyways yeah. Power converter or does Nikon sell a optional (europe) charger?
I thought they might since Nikon is a world wide cooperation and all.
For those who don't know (And if you don't, I don't see how much help you'd be, but hey.surprise me) I take the battery out of my camera, put it in the charger box, which is hooked up to a cord that's plugged into a wall.
The box and cord is usa. 120v. (Unless my battery needs to be charged on 120v. Then I guess I'd need a power converter).
Added (1). My charger clearly says 120v~60hz.
That's it.
Also I was wondering about power converters, not plug adapters.
Yes You need them
The battery charger that came with your D5000 should be 120-240v @ 50-60 Hz. Look on its back for the specifications and you should see that it is good for anywhere in the world within those voltage and frequency ranges
If you still have doubts, call Nikon 800. NIKON-UX
To use it you will need a handful of plug adapters. Stores like Radio Shack sell a bag full of such adapters for under $20
Yes, you definitely need one. There are lots of 220 to 110 voltage transformers in electronic hardware shops but you can try the cheaper versions from computer shops. The AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) or some of them have 110V outlets.
