Using a Memory Stick
When an optional Memory Stick is inserted into the
camera, file data can be stored in the Memory Stick,
which enables you to share data among several
cameras.
Inserting a Memory Stick
Insert a Memory Stick with the labeled side up into
the Memory Stick slot with the connecting section
facing the slot until it clicks and the access lamp lights
in red.
Notes
• Never insert/remove a Memory Stick while the red
access lamp is lit or flashing.
• If MEMORY STICK ERROR appears on the
viewfinder screen, wait until it disappears before
removing the Memory Stick.
To remove a Memory Stick
If you push on the inserted Memory Stick, it will pop
out a little. Then pull the Memory Stick out.
Notes on Memory Sticks
On Memory Stick
Memory Stick is a new compact, portable and
versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity
that exceeds that of a floppy disk. Memory Stick is
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital
data among Memory Stick compatible products.
Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be
used for external data storage.
Types of Memory Stick
There are two types of Memory Stick: MagicGate
Memory Stick that are equipped with the MagicGate
copyright protection technology and general Memory
Stick. You can use either type of Memory Stick with
your camera. However, because your camera does not
support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with
your camera is not subject to MagicGate copyright
protection.
On MagicGate
MagicGate is copyright-protection technology that
uses encryption technology.
Before using a Memory Stick
• You cannot record or erase data when the write-
protect tab on the Memory Stick is set to LOCK.
• We recommend backing up important data.
• Data may be damaged in the following cases:
— If you remove the Memory Stick, or turn the
power off when the access lamp is lit or flashing
— If you use a Memory Stick near static electricity
or a magnetic field
Notes
• Prevent metallic objects or your finger from coming
into contact with the terminal of the connecting
section.
• Do not attach any material other than the supplied
label to the label space.
• Attach the label at the prescribed labeling position.
Make sure the label is attached at the labeling
position properly.
