Guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Just got a digital camera and am wondering: do I need to bring a converter from 220 to 110v for my battery charger. Is everything in Thailand 220 like in europe. Also will I be able to easily upload my photos or have them put onto disc like I can at a Kinko's here in the US? My camera operates from a TWAIN source, so I don't think any special software will be required....it should be able to transfer from windows imaging, right? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event that the transformer can accept 220V AC you would be wise purchase an adapter so that you can fit your (=) or (.=) plug into the ( or (-=) receptacles that are common in Thailand.

whosyourdaddy Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Just noticed yesterday on my way home from work. There is a Kodak shop on Phayathai road, just opposite MBK shopping plaza, almost under the walk over bridge. Thid Kodak store will print to CD from digital cameras or print them off for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Hi, "Is everything in Thailand 220 like in europe." Yes. Sanuk! (Man, that was a short answer. Should this post count towards my post total? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 As previosly posted your charger should specify the input voltage range it supports. Look for an item on the data label something like *Input: 110v ~ 220v AC*. As far as uploading is concerned then this can be more of a problem. Your camera is the TWAIN source, you must have your interface cable plus the appropriate TWAIN driver loaded on the computer, only then will any image software be able to connect to your camera and grab the images. As an alternative there are a number of converters or adapters available that are designed to take the memory card from your camera and insert it into a USB port or the diskette drive. The latter would be the best bet as long as they do not require any drivers to be loaded onto the PC. I know they exist (I've seen plenty advertised) but as I have not been in the market for one so I haven't really researched them. Hope that helps.
