What can I use to charge my videocam/digital camera/laptop in the Philippines?

kitkat

I'm traveling next week to the Philippines and I'm bringing my Sony DCR-SR42 handycam, Canon Powershot G6 camera and my laptop. I need to know what charger/power adapter to buy. Thanks!

Answer
Check the label on your power adapter. If it says 120 - 240v, then you should be good. Most wall outlets in the Philippines produce 240v and will blow the fuse or the whole device if it is not rated to support this capacity.

If your adapters do not support 240v, then you'll need a step-down transformer that allows you to plug it into a 240v outlet and produces 120v output. If you can't find one local to your area, you will find more availability in the Philippines.

If you need to charge multiple devices at once, you'll need to also bring or buy a power strip bar. Don't plug these directly into a 240v wall outlet unless it is rated to work for such capacity.

Unlike the typical plug interface in the U.S. with 2 parallel bars, some 240v outlets in the Philippines require a plug interface with 2 parallel round holes. Go to your local radio shack or equivalent to buy these accessories.

Good luck!

driver for canon digital camera for Mac IBook with OS9?

V�IN�M�

hello,
I was wondering if its possible to find a driver for canon Ixus60 digital camera that would be compatible with Mac IBook runing on OS9?

thanks a lot!

Answer
Check the Canon website (I believe it is http://www.usacanon.com). If that driver is available it will be there. A better alternative would be to purchase a card reader for the card your Canon uses that fits your IBook and download directly using that instead of from the camera.

Problem installing Canon PowerShot S30?

Kevin A

I have a Canon PowerShot S30 digital camera I'm trying to use on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I've installed the latest ZoomBrowser EX 6.5.1 (which is compatible with Win 7). I hook up my camera to the USB drive and I can't get it to work. Windows will not recognize it and it's unable to find any drivers, even tho I installed the software. I've tried going into the Control Panel and update the drivers that way but it only says "Windows could not find driver software for your device."

Answer
The Powershot S30 is a very old camera, released in 2001, so that's probably why you are having problems.

The easiest solution for you...would be to use your CF memory card with a compatible USB card reader.
There is absolutely no software required.
Simply insert the memory card in the reader, then plug both into the computer's USB port...your computer will see it as a removable drive/device (look in 'Computer' on your desktop).
Then just copy the files over to your hard drive.
This method of file transferral is what many photographers already use to transfer files over to the computer. It requires no software, saves draining your camera's battery and is also faster.

p.s. I suggest you might want to think about upgrading your ageing 3MP camera sometime...

good luck
