My Sony DSC-S75 camera shows a format error when I insert my 128MB memory stick also blinking is C:13:01. Any idea's how to fix? Thanks!

The only memory card you can use are the Sony Memory Sticks. You cannot use a Sony Memory Stick Pro, so you have to find one that is under 512MB capacity and does NOT say "Pro" on it. You cannot use any other format memory card such as SD or SDHC.

Hi,

The System Error message displays when the files on the recording media have been copied or deleted repeatedly on a computer. Backup the files on your computer, then format the recording media in the camera to resolve this issue.
Formatting the Memory will erase all the data stored in the Memory Stick.
If the error message displays after formatting the Memory Stick, then try using a different Memory Stick media. Once the Memory Stick is inserted, perform manual power reset of the Camera.
To reset the Camera, turn off the Camera and remove the battery pack.
Then, allow the Camera to remain without power for 30 seconds.
Later, re-insert the Battery pack in the Camera to resolve the issue.

Thanks for using FixYa.

“Memory Stick Duo” is unformatted.
“Memory Stick Duo” is broken.
“Memory Stick Duo” type error
The camera cannot read or write data
on the “Memory Stick Duo”.

Format the “Memory Stick Duo”.
Replace a new “Memory Stick Duo”.
Insert a supported “Memory Stick Duo”.

All above are solution for your quiry

Format the card in the camera. Download any pictures still on the care first using a cardreader if necessary.

Please format memory stick by camera Menu >> Format option.
If problem still exist, try another memory stick and check camera again.

The Sony DSC-S75 will only accept a maximum 128MB memory Stick. I know it accepts the original sticks am still waiting to see if it will accept the PRO sticks.

Can't use Memory Stick PRO's on the DSC 707, they won't format. The technology of the PRO's postdates the 707's.

Use this memory stick in other Sony camera to confirm it. Problem still exist means memory stick is bad/ internal breakage.

Check with the tech support people for your camera for any compatibility issues with the model type of memory stick. Some of these digital cameras have an issue with this.

If you have a computer with a memory card reader that takes the stick. insert it into the computer and goto my computer find the memory stick drive letter and format it their then retry the stick in the camera. also try to go into the cameras menu and try formatting it their if you cannot format the stick it is very possible it is bad.
