Maintenance and precautions (Continued)
Care and storage of the discs
• Keep the disc clean, or the image quality
of the audio and video output may
deteriorate.
• Clean the disc with a soft cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out. For
dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth
slightly moistened in water, then remove
the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, cleaners
intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic spray,
as they may cause a malfunction to the
disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight
or leave it in a humid place.
• When you carry or store the disc, put it in
its case.
• When you want to write letters or marks,
etc. on a single-sided disc, write only on
the printed side using an oil-based marker
with a felt-tip, and do not touch the ink
until it dries. Do not heat the disc or use a
sharp-pointed tool, such as ball point pen.
Do not dry the surface by heating. You
cannot write, or mark, on double-sided
discs.
A "Memory Stick" is a compact, portable
IC recording medium with a large data
capacity. You can use only a "Memory
Stick Duo," which is about the half size of a
standard "Memory Stick," with your

However, we do not guarantee the
operation of all types of "Memory Stick
Duo" on your camcorder.

and records image data in the JPEG (Joint
Photographic Experts Group) format. The file
extension is “.JPG.”
• File names of still images:
– 101- 0001: This file name appears on the
screen of your camcorder.
– DSC00001.JPG: This file name appears on
the display of a computer.
• A “Memory Stick Duo” formatted by a
computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not have
guaranteed compatibility with your camcorder.
