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.

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.

*MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.

•You cannot record or delete images when the write-protect tab is set to LOCK. The position or the shape of the write-protect tab may differ depending on the “Memory Stick” you use.

Effective use of the battery

•Battery performance decreases in low- temperature surroundings, and the battery life is shortened under such circumstances. To use the battery longer, we recommend you keep the battery in a pocket close to your body to warm it, and insert it in your camera just before you start shooting.

•If you use the LCD screen or shoot a lot using the zoom, the battery power will be used up faster.

•We recommend having spare batteries handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and try test shooting before the actually using the camera.

•Do not expose the battery to water. The battery is not water-resistant.
