Viewing image files stored on a computer with
the camera copying to the “Memory Stick Duo”
This section describes the process using a
Windows computer as an example.
When an image file copied to a computer
no longer remains on a “Memory Stick
Duo”, you can view that image again on the
camera by exporting (copying) the image
file to the camera using the “Picture Motion
Browser”.
• You may not be able to play back some images
depending on the image size.
• Sony does not guarantee playback of image files
on the camera if the files have been processed
using a computer or recorded with another
camera.
1
Connect the camera to your
computer and start up the
“Picture Motion Browser” (pages
102, 103).
2
Select the still images to be
exported on the main window.
3
From the [Manipulate] menu,
select [Open with External
Program]
t
[Image Export Tool].

Thereafter, follow the instructions
on the screen and export the
image files to the “Memory Stick
Duo”.
• For details on “Picture Motion Browser”,
see “PMB Guide”.
To export images to the camera without
using the “Picture Motion Browser”
