Using a “Memory Stick”
Using a “Memory Stick”
When a “Memory Stick” is inserted in the camera, the file
data can be stored on the “Memory Stick,” which enables
you to share data among cameras.
Inserting a “Memory Stick”
Insert a “Memory Stick” with the label side up into the
“Memory Stick” slot until it clicks and the access lamp
lights in red.
Access lamp
If the access lamp is lit or is flashing, data is being read
from or written to the “Memory Stick.” At this time, do not
shake the product or subject it to shock. Do not turn off the
power of the product or remove the “Memory Stick.” This
may damage the data.
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile
IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data
among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is
removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external
data storage.
“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and
compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a
“Memory Stick Duo” adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” turns
to the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can
be used with products compliant with standard “Memory
Stick”.”

various requirements in functions:
