Sony Mavica FD85 Digital Still Camera

CIS has five Sony Mavica digital cameras for checkout from the central equipment pool.

These digital cameras save images in the JPEG (JFIF) format directly to a 3.5-inch 2HD MS-DOS formatted disk. These digital images can be used in presentation software, such as PowerPoint, or be used on web pages.
 
 

The Mavica digital camera takes approximately 30 images at 640 X 480, 10 at 1024 X 768, 6 at 1280 X 1104, or 5 at 1472 X 1104. The image resolutions can be mixed on a disk. The camera has a 3X optical zoom and a 6X precision digital zoom lens with an illuminated LCD viewing screen. The built-in Intelligent Flash with red eye reduction is recommended for distances from 0.3 m to 2.5m (12" to 8'). The panel on the back of the camera has controls for the flash, image capture quality, and deletion of images stored on the disk; and displays the number of exposures and the battery status.

Basic operating instructions for camera usage are in the camera bag.
