Places subject to extremely high temperature,
such as a car parked outside in the summer.

Places with extremely high humidity or subject
to corrosive gases.
x On the Memory Stick Duo adaptor
After inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” into
the Memory Stick Duo adaptor, you can use
it with a standard “Memory Stick”
compliant device.
When using a “Memory Stick Duo” with a
“Memory Stick” compliant device, be sure to
insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into a Memory
Stick Duo adaptor.
When inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” into a
Memory Stick Duo adaptor, make sure the
“Memory Stick Duo” is inserted facing in the
correct direction, then insert it all the way in.
Note that improper use may cause a
malfunction. Also, if you force the “Memory
Stick Duo” into the Memory Stick Duo adaptor
in the wrong direction, it may be damaged.
Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo adaptor
without a “Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing
so may result in malfunctions of the unit.
x On a “Memory Stick PRO Duo”
The maximum memory capacity of a
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” that can be used
on your camcorder is 4 GB.
On image data compatibility
Image data files recorded on a “Memory Stick
Duo” 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).
On your camcorder, you cannot play back still
images recorded on other devices (DCR-
TRV900E or DSC-D700/D770) that do not
conform to the universal standard. (These
models are not sold in some regions.)
If you cannot use a “Memory Stick Duo” that
has been used with another device, format it
with your camcorder (p. 50). Note that
formatting erases all information on the
“Memory Stick Duo.”
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.
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (H series).
“InfoLITHIUM” H series battery packs
have the mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your
camcorder and an optional AC Adaptor/
charger.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
calculates the power consumption
according to the operating conditions of
your camcorder, and displays the remaining
battery time in minutes.
With an AC Adaptor/charger, the remaining
battery time and charging time appear.
To charge the battery pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before you
start using your camcorder.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10 °C to 30 °C
(50 °F to 86 °F) until the CHG (charge) lamp
turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside
of this temperature range, you may not be able
to charge it efficiently.
After charging is complete, disconnect the cable
from the DC IN jack on the Handycam Station
or your camcorder, then remove the battery
pack.
