About the memory card
A memory card 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 card and
memory card compliant product you use.
Damaged or lost data may occur in the
following cases (the data will not be
compensated for):
If you eject the memory card, or turn off your
camcorder while your camcorder is reading
or writing image files on the memory card
(while the access lamp is lit or flashing)
If you use the memory card near magnets or
magnetic fields
It is recommended that you make a back-up of
important data on the hard disk of a computer.
Do not attach a label or the like on memory
card or memory card adaptor.
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 card.
Do not disassemble or modify the memory
card.
Do not let the memory card get wet.
Keep the memory card out of the reach of small
children. There is danger that a child might
swallow it.
Do not insert anything other than the compliant
size of memory card into the memory card slot.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Do not use or keep the memory card in the
following locations:
Places subject to extremely high temperature,
such as a car parked outside in the summer
Places under direct sunlight
Places with extremely high humidity or
subject to corrosive gases
On the memory card adaptor
When using memory card with memory card
compliant device inserting memory card
into memory card adaptor, make sure the
memory card is inserted facing in the correct
direction. Note that improper use may cause a
malfunction.
On image data compatibility
Image data files recorded on memory card by
your camcorder conform to the “Design rule
for Camera File system” universal standard
established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics
and Information Technology Industries
Association).
On your camcorder, you cannot play back
photos recorded on other devices (DCR-
TRV900E or DSC-D700/D770) that do not
conform to the universal standard. (These
models are not sold in some regions.)
If you cannot use memory cards that have been
used with another device, format it with your
camcorder (p. 78). Note that formatting erases
all information on the memory card.
You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:
When playing back image data modified on
your computer
When playing back image data recorded with
other devices
