Neither my camera nor my computer with XP PRO OS can identify this memory stick

I have bought Memory Stick Pro 512 MB Made By San Disk china. I have a digital still camera made by Sony model DSC - S85. I bought the memory stick in Geneva airport, at the duty free shop and ,and I asked the man in the shop and he told me that the stick is good for use in all Sony cameras. Now I see that neither my camera nor my computer with XP PRO OS can identify this memory stick. Is there any way that this stick can be converted and become useful for me. David Harari

Many thanks for your kind answer. Sorry but even my reader does not identify the card. I must clarify that both my computer and laptop and my camera identify the old memory stick without any problems but all f them does not identify the new memory stick pro. So I can not format the card because the computer does not identify it... David Harari [email protected]

You will need to reformat the card: 1. Place the card in the reader 2. Right click on the drive letter for the reader 3. Choose format 4. Choose full format with no label 5. Finish the format 6. Test card. It should now be working correctly. Note: Certain cameras may require that you also format the card in the camera.

I have a Sony digital camera model # DSC S75. I would like the largest memory stick available for still photos. I get confused with GM and MB. I found one for 32 GB, is that the lrgest and about how much...

I did a bit of research on this, and you're going to have to be very careful. Your camera is only compatible with the very first generation of "memory stick". That sounds like a generic term, but it's actually a Sony specification. Please take a look at the wikipedia page on memory stick, and note all the newer versions. Also note that the 'memory stick' is no longer manufactured. Here is a list of memory sizes, I agree that the Mb and Gb are confusing. Each one is double the size of the one before.

8 Mb
16 Mb
32 Mb
64 Mb
128 Mb
256 Mb
512 Mb
1 Gb
2 Gb
4 Gb
8 Gb
16 Gb
32 Gb
64 Gb

Now, you will have to find a genuine Sony "memory stick" and not the Pro, or Duo, or anything like that. When they were manufactured, the largest one was 128 Mb, so that is the limit for your camera. Anything in "Gb" or Gigabytes cannot be a memory stick. I did find 128Mb memory sticks on Amazon. The review page on DPreview will tell you how many pictures you can store on a card half the size, just double it.

Sandisc 4 GB memory stick PRO Duo not working

According to the users manual, the camera does not support above 512 MB cards, however I noticed that there is a firmware update which might address the issue. Go to www.sony.com and support, electronics. Put your model number in the selection box and you'll be taken to the drivers download page.

Memory Stick error

Hello!

Following types of memory sticks are compatible with the Camera model DSC-V1:

Memory stick: 32/64/128 MB
Memory stick Pro: 256 MB/512 MB/1 GB/2 GB.
Mark 2 Memory stick Pro: 1/2 GB.

However, in order to use Memory Stick Duo or MagicGate Memory Stick Duo media with the Camera, a dedicated adapter (MSAC-M2) must be attached.

Follow the steps given below to troubleshoot the Camera that is not recognizing any compatible memory sticks:

http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C186797

Furthermore, you may try resetting the Camera to the original factory settings by pressing and holding the Reset button for 30 seconds.

If the issue persists even after performing all the above mentioned steps then the Camera is required to be diagnosed and serviced.
