x On the Memory Stick Duo adaptor
When using a “Memory Stick Duo” with a
“Memory Stick” compliant device, make 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 8 GB.
Notes on using “Memory Stick Micro”
To use a “Memory Stick Micro” with the
camcorder, you need a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor.
Insert the “Memory Stick Micro” into the Duo-
sized M2 Adaptor, then insert the adaptor into
the Memory Stick Duo slot. If you insert a
“Memory Stick Micro” into the camcorder
without using a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor, you
might not be able to remove it from the
camcorder.
Do not leave the “Memory Stick Micro” within
the reach of small children. They might
accidentally swallow it.
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. 87). 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.
About storage of the battery pack
If the battery pack is not used for a long time,
fully charge the battery pack and use it up on
your camcorder once a year to maintain proper
function. To store the battery pack, remove it
from your camcorder and put it in a dry, cool
place.
To discharge the battery pack on your
camcorder completely, leave your camcorder in
tape recording standby until the power goes off
(p. 15).
About battery life
Battery capacity decreases over time and
through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is
probably time to replace it with a new one.
Each battery’s life is governed by storage,
operating and environmental conditions.
The HDV/DV (i.LINK) jack on your
camcorder is an i.LINK-compliant 6-pin
jack. This section describes the i.LINK
standard and its features.
