But best of all, it supported USB so removing the disk was almost never necessary, as the 8-Bit Guy notes. Floppy Disk Mavica's: If your camera is displaying Disk Error, C:13:01, C:32:01, and you've tried to format a new disk (using your computer, w/ FULL format option) with no success, then your cameras' drive will need to be repaired, rebuilt or replaced. The last iteration in the Mavica line made the even stranger storage decision to use mini CDs, requiring the thing to be turned on while resting on a flat surface… because CDs spin. This inaugurated Sonys line of Mavica cameras using 3.5' floppy disks for image storage (a format Sony itself had introduced in 1982) 1. Digital would surpass film in only a few years’ time, but when the Mavica first launched the only obvious perk was the ability to delete photos. The Mavica also took awful photos in two flavours: Crap resolution where everything that moves is blurry, or apocalyptically bad resolution with less motion blur. The best storage option for the time was the humble floppy disk.Īs The 8-Bit Guy shows in a walk down tech’s memory lane, the very first digital cameras - like the Sony Mavica - were enormous, because they had to fit an entire floppy disk in them. Native support didn’t exist on Mac or PC, USB ports weren’t standard and the miniSD card wouldn’t exist for another six years. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sony reused the Mavica name for a number of digital (rather than analog) cameras that used standard 3.5 floppy disk. It’s 1997 and digital cameras were just coming on the market.
