Notes on using “Memory Stick Micro”
media
To use “Memory Stick Micro” media with your
camcorder, you need a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor.
Insert the “Memory Stick Micro” media into
the Duo-sized M2 Adaptor, and then insert the
adaptor into the “Memory Stick Duo” media
slot. If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro”
media into your camcorder without using a
Duo-sized M2 Adaptor, you might not be able
to remove it from your camcorder.
Do not leave the “Memory Stick Micro” media
within the reach of small children. They might
accidentally swallow it.
On image data compatibility
Image data files recorded on “Memory Stick
PRO Duo” media 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 Stick PRO Duo”
media that have been used with another device,
format it with your camcorder (p. 58). Note
that formatting erases all information on the
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media.
You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:

About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (H series).
“InfoLITHIUM” H series battery packs
have the
mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your camcorder
and an AC Adaptor/charger (sold separately).
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the
power consumption according to the operating
conditions of your camcorder, and displays the
remaining battery time in minutes.
To charge the battery pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10
C to 30
C
(50 ˚F to 86 ˚F) until the CHG (charge) lamp
turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside
of this temperature range, you may not be able
to charge it efficiently.
To use the battery pack effectively
Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient temperature is 10
C (50 °F) or below,
and the length of time you can use the battery
pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one
of the following to use the battery pack for a
longer time.
Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it
up, and install it on your camcorder right
before you start taking shots.
Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/
FH100 (sold separately).
