Download Photos From A Sony Mavica Camera

Import images from your CD or floppy disk.


Sony's digital Mavica cameras all save images onto some sort of disk, such as a floppy or CD. Because the camera captures the content onto an external format, it allows you to download the images from the camera without ever hooking up the camera directly to your computer. This is because the images may be downloaded from the floppy disk or CD directly through the computer's floppy or CD/DVD drive.


Instructions


1. Eject the floppy disk or CD from your Mavica digital camera. (The format your camera saves content onto will vary depending on the model of the Mavica.) An eject button on the side of the camera pushes the CD/floppy disk out.


2. Insert the CD/floppy into the computer. If using a floppy disk, push it into the floppy disk "A:" drive. If using a CD, insert it into the disc drive of the computer and close the CD tray.


3. Click "Start," "(My) Computer" and double-click either the CD or floppy "A:" drive icon. A window appears with all of the files currently stored on the inserted media.


4. Click-and-drag the files from the open window onto the computer. (You may copy the images onto any location of the computer.) Then close out the open window. Push "Eject" on either the floppy or CD drive, and the disc will eject from the computer.
