On image data compatibility
• Image data files recorded on a 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).
• If you cannot use the memory card that has been
used with another device, format it with your
camcorder (p. 70). 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.
About “Memory Stick” media
