What does MSDC mean while I am charging the battery on a S327 Vivicam? How long should it take to reach a full charge?

You're charging by connecting to a computer's USB port? The MSDC simply indicates that the camera recognizes the connection to the computer. It should go away when you disconnect the camera from the computer.

The MSDC indicates that the camera has recognized it's connected to a computer.

The red light indicates that the camera's battery is charging.

MSDC is not limited to just the Vivitar V-8225p Digital Camera. MSDC stands for Mass Storage Device Class. It allows the camera to communicate with the computer, and this error usually shows up when you're plugging it in your computer, which roughly just means that the computer cannot communicate with the camera.

The best solution I would have for you is to buy an external SD card reader, which would remove this problem entirely.

Are you charging it by plugging it into a computer? The "MSDC" you see usually means "Mass Storage Device Class", which basically means the computer is using the storage on the camera as a removable drive. This would usually happen when plugging a camera into the computer via USB. There is usually an AC adapter that comes with a camera, or a separate charger for just the battery. If there was no charger that came with it, the camera is probably still charging. If the camera is on, try turning it off and plugging it in. Remember, even if it shows "MSDC", it is probably still charging. Hope this helps!

Make sure the battery is in the camara correctly. I had the problem with the blue screen and MSDC showing and it would not hold a charge. the battery has to be in correctly. It will go in wrong and look right so match up the silver three marks on the battery to the three marks inside the camara where the battery goes. It worked after i did that. Hope this helps!!!

I just called the help desk. MSDC and a blinking red light means that it is charging. It takes 6 hours to charge and you are not to take disconnect it from the USB until it is fully charged. Once it is charged the blinking light will turn green.... not sure whether it will still be blinking or not. This is what the lady on the phone told me so I haven't been able to try it out yet, but I will update if I call again.

Make sure your battery is inserted in the proper direction (it will fit even if upside down).

i have the same camera and the same problem but i have found out msdc means mass storage device, for the camera to work you have to have a memory card inside it. im getting one tomorrow for mine, so hopefully that should solve the problem :)

Try flipping the battery over (metal parts down).

i keep geting msdc on blue screen on my viviar 8025 vivicam can you help thanks mal
