Default recharging abroard

Hi all, i'm going on holiday to amercica soon - was wondering what the best
way is to charge my camera when i'm over there. I've got a Sony TRV-60
.....and its come with a "AC POWER ADAPTOR" which says "AC IN ~ 100 - 240V
50/60 Hz" So i'm guessing it will be ok to get a UK - US mains adapter, and
plug it straight into this thing right?? Want to make sure before i go
blowing anything up.

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan

Did the TRV60 come supplied with the "AC-L15B" charger ??
If it did, take a look at the mains lead & see if the EARTH pin is all
plastic. If it is, like mine, and you take the screw out of the plug you
will probably find it will have a two pin plug on the end of the actual
cable & i think this is the USA type plug.

There's absolutely no problem in just using a physical adapter, as sold
in high-street shops here or at airports.

Dan, take a tip from me, if you buy an adapter, buy a good quality one, the
flat pins of
the adapters have a nasty habit of fallling out of the US sockets, and you
spend time propping thins to keep them in place.

Decent quality adapters appear to work ok.

Enjoy your trip
