It comes with a universal charger (100V-240V). But you will have to use a pin adapter for European outlet. Should be pretty inexpensive (http://www.amazon.com/Generic-EU-6PK-American-European-Adapter/dp/B0036VJ1OQ/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0R1SGK2YKZSZ3T1NT7J0)

That is the only way to charge the battery. They supply a USB with a special end for their camera AND a USB wall plug.

Hi. In the product description said that the camera coming with a charger BC-45W Battery Charger, I have the same model of charger, it works from 100-240V and 50-60Hz. Just dont forget to buy the plug adapter, it was very difficult for me to find here, and also the only ones that I found was very expensive. Check the kind of system that the country that you are visit used or just buy something like this http://www.amazon.com/Insten-Universal-Travel-Charger-Adapter/dp/B000YN01X4/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362604730&sr=1-10&keywords=adapter+plug+us+to+europe.

there is a USB cable to charge the battery, you can plug it into your computer to charge if you use a wall charger you would need an adapter for Europe

Yes, The battery recharger is like the one Canon provides with the camera. It has a wall socket and also comes with one that converts it for European outlets as well.

Sorry = I don't have a good answer - I used charged batteries and keep a spare (uncharged) for backup. It seemed like they lasted a long time. One problem - recently, I couldn't get the camera to turn off - had to remove the batteries to get it off - haven't retried it! I'm a big help! I do like the camera!

You have to charge it via USB in camera , or get a third party or don't external charger. When charging the camera is not operable, so I highly recommend either an extra battery, or an external charger as the battery life is average at best.

The camera has rechargeable battery (similar to a cell phone battery type) that you can charge via a special USB cable that comes with the camera. The cable will allow you to plug it into a computer or an electrical outlet.

You can use the camera anywhere in the world. The question should be, can you charge the battery in Pakistan? I do not the standard voltage and frequency there, but with the correct travel inverter, you should be able to recharge the battery.

Yep just charged it off my laptop USB port this morning. Take a standard micro USB plug. Great camera. Just love it.

I don't know, looking through the manual, there's no mention of charging in Europe. So I'm assuming the answer would be a "No."

I bought my camera in the US, but live in France. Like Italy, the current is 220. There is no problem using the charger without a transformer or charger. You will need, however, an adaptor plug so that you can plug the charger into Italian outlets.

I have not had a problem with the batteries. My use of the camera is occasional so I am not taxing thebatteries to any extent. I don't recall just how long I have had the camera, but to date I have had no need to change the batteries. To my knowledge this camera does not accept charging.

Typically It will be through USB when you place the battery inside the camera, but with a travel charger it charges directly from the outlet. It is much faster to charge using a travel charger compared to the internal charger. It is best to get this battery in a deal package with the charger included.

I bought three batteries but I have not had to use them all. I took the camera and one battery for a three day trip and used it exclusively and charged the battery in the middle of the last day. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089KJSKQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There is a "European" travel adapter supplied that likely will work but I am not certain if it is compatible with England power receptacles. The Sony camera that I have charges from a USB source so I recharge all the batteries in the camera. I can use a pc or my cell phone charger (Android) to power the camera for recharging batteries. I might look for a local (England) power supply with USP ports for recharging. Hope that helps.

The battery charges in the camera through a USB-to-wall outlet connector. You can buy a charger specifically for the battery if you want though.
