Videos recorded on a Memory Stick XC-HG Duo or SDXC
memory card cannot be loaded or played back on
computers or AV equipment devices that are connected
via USB cable and that do not support exFAT (i.e., the
file system used by Memory Stick XC-HG Duo or SDXC

supports exFAT beforehand. If a device that does not
support it is connected, a formatting screen may appear.

result in the loss of all data.
