Can I Use My Camera Battery Charger in Turkey?

Q: What plug type does Turkey use?

Turkey uses Type C/F sockets at 230V / 50Hz.

Your camera battery charger needs a plug adapter in Turkey if its actual input rating supports the local voltage and frequency.

Why

Use a plug adapter only after confirming that your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency. Match your real plug and preserve any required grounding. An adapter does not change voltage. Camera battery chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V). A plug adapter is all you need; consider a spare battery for long shooting days.

Turkey runs 230⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Turkey runs 230V at 50Hz with Type C/F sockets, the Continental European standard. US single-voltage devices need a converter.
