Before you use memory cards other than Memory Sticks in devices such as a digital camera or audio device, you must format them beforehand on the device which you
use to record data. Please be aware that formatting the card will delete all the data on it.
Using Memory Sticks
Your VAIO computer is designed to support the Memory Stick. The Memory Stick is a compact, portable, and versatile device
especially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data with compatible products, such as digital cameras, mobile phones and
CLIÉ handheld devices. Because it is removable, it can be used for external data storage.
Use the flash memory technology to download anything that can be converted into digital data, such as pictures, music, words,
sounds, movies and photographs.
