110-240V Camcorder charger in Japan?

Hi
I'm returning to Japan this week and was looking forward to using my new camcorder there. However I found the adaptor only runs 110V-240V, annoyingly not 100V-240V like my laptop adaptor and thus seemingly out of range for Japan (100V).
Does anyone know if my adaptor will still work with 100V or has anyone tried using a 110V-240V appliance in Japan without problems?

Most 110-240 adapters that I've used in Japan have worked. I haven't even noticed any time difference on charging or performance decrease.
However, a couple of auto switching devices that have some circuitry in them to switch mustn't have met the minimum voltage to run, and did nothing (they worked again in the US). 1 was a Sanyo made for the US adapter and I don't remember the other because I no longer have it. I would take it and see if it works and if it comes down to it you may have to stop at a Best Buy or Ks to get a domestic adapter.
