Sony MVC FD83

I'm sorry to inform you that the MVCFD85 Camera does not have a Memory Stick slot. The medium using in the Mavica FD camera is floppy disc.
The MSAC-FD2M floppy disk adapter can be used in some FD Mavica digital cameras.
With the help of the above mentioned Floppy disc adapter, you can insert a memory stick inside the adapter and insert it in to the floppy disk drive on the camera.

well even with out software it should still open up
go to my computer and wait a min for it to apper there then double click on it and that will take you to the pictures
if it doesnt appear there then something is wrong with your cord or camera

Hi,

good luck.....

This is an old model of Sony Movica and you can copy all floppy disk pictures in computer.

In your camera floppy drive is defective and requires replacement but floppy drive of MVC-FD85 is not available any more. So bet a new digital camera and think MVC-FD85 is history now.

The floppy driver has an internal switch that detects when the floppy disk is protected or not.

It is likely such switch is damaged.

It is necessary to open the camera and the floppy drive to fix it.

If you have experience and skills in fixing electronic devices, or want to try it, then you can try its repair.

The alternative is to pay to have repaired, but is more likely that the quote you will receive is to replace the whole floppy drive, which costs around $40.00 plus the repair labor.

Regards,

go 2 set up hit format then yes thenok it will fix it

I've got the same problem with a Sony Mavica FD83 floppy disc camera. The screen says DISK ERROR C:13:01

Any idea of what may be wrong ? I think this is a common problem with these cameras....but it's priobably an easy fix. Can you help me ?

Replace the floppy Disk, we can supply this Disk.

undo the disk protection tab on the floppy disk

There is absolutely NO way to use a Memory Stick with the FD83 camera. The floppy adapter will never work with a FD83. The camera OS does not have the required driver.
