A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable 
IC recording medium with a large data 
capacity.
You can use only a “Memory Stick Duo,” 
which is about the half size of a standard 
“Memory Stick,” with your camcorder. 
However, we do not guarantee the 
operation of all types of “Memory Stick 
Duo” on your camcorder.

• Still image format: Your camcorder compresses 

and records image data in the JPEG (Joint 
Photographic Experts Group) format. The file 
extension is “.JPG.”

• File names of still images:

– 101- 0001: This file name appears on the 

screen of your camcorder.

– DSC00001.JPG: This file name appears on 

the display of a computer.

• A “Memory Stick Duo” formatted by a 

computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not have 
guaranteed compatibility with your camcorder.

• Data read/write speed may vary depending on 

the combination of the “Memory Stick” and 
“Memory Stick” compliant product you use.

On a “Memory Stick Duo” with a 
write-protect tab

You can prevent accidental erasure of 
images when you slide the write-protect tab 
on the “Memory Stick Duo” with a small 
tapered object, to the write-protect position.

Notes on use

Damaged or lost image data will not be 
compensated for, and may occur in the 
following cases:

• If you eject the “Memory Stick Duo,” turn the 

power off on your camcorder, or remove the 
battery pack for replacement while your 
camcorder is reading or writing image files on 
the “Memory Stick Duo” (while the access lamp 
is lit or flashing).

• If you use the “Memory Stick Duo” near 

magnets or magnetic fields.

It is recommended you make a back-up of 
important data on the hard disk of a 
computer.

x

On handling a “Memory Stick”

Keep the following in mind when handling 
a “Memory Stick Duo.”

• Be careful not to apply excessive force when 

writing on a memo area on a “Memory Stick 
Duo.”

• Do not attach a label or the like on a “Memory 

Stick Duo” or a Memory Stick Duo adaptor.

• When you carry or store a “Memory Stick Duo,” 

put it in its case.

• Do not touch, or allow metallic objects to come 

into contact with the terminals.

• Do not bend, drop or apply strong force to the 

“Memory Stick Duo.”

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory 

Stick Duo.”

• Do not let the “Memory Stick Duo” get wet.
• Be careful to keep “Memory Stick Duo” media 

out of the reach of small children. There is 
danger that a child might swallow it.
