About the “Memory Stick”
A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable
IC recording medium with a data capacity
that exceeds the capacity of a floppy disk.
You can use only a “Memory Stick Duo,”
which is about the half size of a standard
“Memory Stick” in your camcorder.
However, appearance on the list below does
not guarantee the operation of all types of
“Memory Stick Duo” in 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.
