Fixed ISO 100: Single native sensitivity keeps the camera best suited to well-lit outdoor or flash-assisted shooting conditions.

Description — Sony Mavica FD-92
The Sony Mavica FD-92 is a point-and-shoot digital camera with a 1.6MP sensor capturing stills at up to 1600x1200 pixels. The body is constructed from plastic with metal accents, measuring 139 x 103 x 77 mm and weighing 590g. As the sole framing tool, the 2.5-inch TFT LCD at 123,000 dots handles all composition duties — there is no viewfinder of any type.
The camera's ISO is fixed at 100, and autofocus uses contrast detection with a single center focus point. The built-in pop-up flash supports Auto, Red-eye, Forced, and Off modes with adjustable intensity, while a proprietary connector accommodates the Sony HVL-F1000 external flash. Storage is handled via Memory Stick and other compatible media.
Video recording runs at 15 fps in either 320x240 (up to 15 seconds) or 160x112 (up to 60 seconds), captured at 8-bit color depth. Color profiles for stills include Standard, Solarize, B&W, Sepia, and Negative Art. Connectivity includes USB, and the camera is powered by Sony InfoLithium NP-F330 or NP-F550 batteries providing roughly 90–120 minutes of operation.
