Re: American HP camera exploded when used in europe

You cannot use US electronics in Europe, and vice versa, without a voltage
adapter. US=110v, Europe=220v in many places. You just fried your own camera
and it's probably not covered under warrenty.

Before using ANY electronics from the US in Europe, you must be absolutely
sure what the voltage is in the place you are staying and use the correct
adapter.
