bNotes

The calculation for the space of the internal memory (HDR-UX20) or the “Memory Stick PRO Duo” is 1MB = 1,048,576 bytes. The fractions less than MB are discarded when the space is displayed. The displayed size of the whole space will be slightly smaller than the size shown below despite displaying both free and used space.

Since there is a management file area, the used space is not displayed as 0 MB even if you perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 78).
