The “Memory Stick”

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds the capacity of a floppy disk.

You can use the “Memory Stick” as an external recording media that can be attached or removed as well as exchanging data between the units.

There are two types of “Memory Stick”: an ordinary “Memory Stick” and a “MagicGate Memory Stick” that are equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology. You can use both types 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.

You can also use the “Memory Stick Duo” and “Memory Stick PRO” with the camera.

* MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology. The “Memory Stick” formatted with a computer is not guaranteed to operate with this camera.
