What's this USB called on my camera?

Doesn't look like mini-USB or any other standardized connector, so probably proprietary

What's proprietary.

It'd be far easier if you listed the model of the camera. There should be a sticker somewhere on it that states it.

These Sony compact cameras use a non-standard connector designed by and for Sony (this is what a proprietary connector is).

 

Are you looking to buy a replacement cable? If so just put "Sony DSC-W530 cable" into ebay or similar, and you should get the right thing. Feel free to post here to check if unsure.

Most companies on eBay ship globally, especially companies from China, which is likely where it'd come from.

He's correct. It's a proprietary connector, as most Sony products use. Which is why I usually don't buy Sony.

Well does buying a cable for this camera will it charge the camera?

AFAIK that camera doesn't charge from USB, it came with a separate charger and you had to take the battery out and put it in. So no.

Oh no. How can i found the charger.

[Kilrah]

This page says the charger is a BC-CSN. You can search for that on ebay or such.

 

Note that it's a 10 year old camera, it's very possible the battery is dead by now and you'd need to replace that too. Might or might not be worth it.

I need to buy a charger then.

[Electronics Wizardy]

The camera only seems to support charging via the battery charger, not via the usb port.

My dad thinks that we can charge it with USB. But i think so but what's the USB type of this camera?  I'll try to charge it with USB. 99.9% Will not charge i think. I found a fake charger on my country it's expensive so i hope i can charge it with USB.

Its a sony proprietary cable. so its not a standard cable.

 

 

What is your goal? To use the camera? You really want the battery charger if you want to use it, and there pretty cheap on ebay. Just saying, your phone probably takes better pictures though.

I just wanna use the camera. But you are right.

Merged with previous thread as it's essentially the same question.

 

I was pretty sure I actually had one of these and since we just had a massive thunderstorm and I unplugged all my tech I went to look in the cupboard - and yes found it, along with cable and charger.

Can confirm it will NOT charge from USB.

Please don't post multiple times on the same topic. Continue in your original thread.

 

If you want to use the device, go for it. Buy an appropriate charger.

Well i want to use it but in my country it's a bit expensive. And i heard that it doesn't charge with USB. But i wanna use the camera. And i wanna charge it with USB.

I don't know what camera you are talking about (you didn't bother to tell us) but if the manual says that the camera can't charge via USB, then you do need to buy a charger for it to work.

Threads merged with your original thread, again.

You've already asked if you can charge your camera via USB and you've already received answers saying that you cannot charge your model of camera over USB - including from someone who has the same model camera who even tried it and showed you that it wouldn't charge. Just because you didn't like the answers you were given doesn't mean you'll get different answers by creating new threads asking the same question.
