Description:

The Sony Mavica MVC-FD85 digital camera features a 1.3-megapixel CCD for 1,280 x 960 resolution images. The camera also includes an MPEG movie mode and audio annotation for your pictures. The lens has a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom, plus an automatic macro mode for easy photographing of close-up items. The four-mode automatic flash features red-eye reduction and night-synch modes. The camera's built-in zoom, trim, and resize functions encourage manipulation of the images before they're viewed on your computer. Instead of using a traditional optical viewfinder, users compose images by viewing the 2.5-inch color LCD monitor on the back of the camera. This monitor also indicates remaining shooting time in minutes, a well as indicators for flash, focus, and other functions.

Like most of the other cameras in the Mavica line, the MVC-FD85 uses floppy disks to store photos. At maximum image quality, five images fit on one floppy. At the other end of the spectrum is the e-mail setting, which captures 80 images at 320 x 240 resolution on a single disk. To address concerns about the limited number of photos that can be stored on a low-capacity floppy disk, Sony has devised a high-capacity solution. The camera will accept the MSAC-FD2M Floppy Adapter, a device that looks like a floppy disk. Sony's Memory Stick (available in capacities up to 64 MB) slides into the adapter, and the adapter slides into the camera's floppy drive, essentially giving you a 64 MB floppy disk

The package includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a battery charger, shoulder belt, AV cable, and ArcSoft Photo Studio software for Windows.
