Using Memory Stick
TM
This new compact, portable, and versatile recording medium has a data capacity exceeding that of a floppy
disk. The Memory Stick™ is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data with compatible
products. Because it is removable, it can be used for external data storage.
You need an optional PC Card adapter to use this function.
When the Memory Stick™ erasure prevention switch is set to LOCK, data cannot be recorded or erased.
You can enjoy still images that you have recorded with a Memory Stick compatible video camera recorder or a digital still camera.
Before using Memory Sticks™, you should back up important data.
