Notes on Memory Stick
On Memory Stick

Memory Stick is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick compatible products. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for external data storage.

Types of Memory Stick

There are two types of Memory Stick: “MagicGate Memory Stick” that are equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology and general “Memory Stick.” You can use either type 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.

On MagicGate
MagicGate is copyright-protection technology that uses encryption technology.
