Formatting a “Memory Stick“

You can format a “Memory Stick“ using the Memory Stick IC Recorder. Formatting will delete all data recorded in the “Memory Stick“ including images and other data. Before formatting, check the data in the “Memory Stick“.

Because a commercially available “Memory Stick“ has already been formatted at the factory, you do not need to format a “Memory Stick“ before the first use.

The supplied “Memory Stick“ has also already been formatted.
