Canon Powershot G16 shoots RAW and JPEG

Why don't you just buy an adapter, the lenses are 100% manual anyhow. I use my 39mm Leica lenses on a Panasonic 4/3, and it works great.

They don't have Liras anymore in Italy, they have Euros. Go to any ATM machine and get your Euros. Stores and Restaurants have all their prices listed with tax included, so you won't get cheated.

Just be careful about the money exchange my sister-in-law got cheated when she exchanged American $ for liras. You could carry one of the many types of smaller lenses such as the 28-105. You can decide what you want to shoot when you get there such as in the "forum." The spaghetti and meatballs make a nice meal! Good luck!

Thank you Linda.

It appears that the P520's longest exposure is eight seconds:

There's also a question of manual focus. To the OP: does the 520 have a manual focus option? Maybe others here can address the best way to use auto-focus in this situation.
To the OP: try your 8-second exposure at widest aperture and highest ISO. If that's too bright, do another at the next number down, and so forth.

Why the lowest ISO? I shoot the night sky at 1600 to 3200 ISO.

Use a tripod and a long exposure. Maybe 15 seconds. Use manual mode and use the widest aperture and lowest iso (probably iso-80) and set your focal length to about 75mm. You should get something like this. This wasn't taken with a P520, but those are the settings I used and it should work the same on your P520. Note that with the naked eye I only saw about a dozen stars in the sky. The camera sensor picked up the rest.

There are several mistakes in your reply. 1) Companies do not use transformers for their voltage conversion, they use solid state Power Supplies. 2) Inverters are never used for this conversion. Inverters change DC to AC voltage.3) You don't own a dc/220-250V surge protector, you own a AC surge protector.

Very nice photos. I took my best shots with the 14mm Rokinon.

The 50mm info on the EXIF is incorrect. I used a 14mm Rokinon without a chip, so you don't get the F number and lens information reading. All my photos with that 14mm lens show 50mm. I also think this was a 3 exposure HDR sequence.

I can see why you need a tripod. 1/2 sec exposure. Beautiful image and this one is at 50mm but you still got the floor in the picture. Very nice.

One more advice for the OP. Don't get the type N adapter plug, they are 3 prong with the ground. Most receptacles are 2 prong. I was in Rio last year and bought these adapters on ebay.

You would trust your Travel Agent with electric/electronic questions?

An Inverter converts direct current into alternating current. So it's useless for the OP going to Brazil. All he needs is the adapter plug mentioned above.

You need an "good" inverter. I bought one on Amazon (read the reviews) and have used it successfully around the world for three years. No problems at all with phones, AA/AAA/Camera battery chargers, laptops, electric shavers. and laptops.

On the Photographers tour a tripod is required. If you go with the regular tour you can end up with all the smart phone users.

I agree that a tripod is not needed for mid morning to mid afternoon. DonâÂÂt know about very early or very late.

All camera battery chargers are rated 110-220/240 Volt. Read the fine print on all chargers. You don't need a voltage converter.All you need is the outlet adapter.
