About 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.

In addition to exchanging data between “Memory Stick” compatible equipment, you can also use a “Memory Stick” to store data as a type of detachable external recording media.

There are two types of “Memory Stick”: an ordinary “Memory Stick” and a “MagicGate Memory Stick” that is equipped with the MagicGate * copyright protection technology. You can use both types of “Memory Stick” with your camcorder. However, because your camcorder does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with your camcorder is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.

In addition, you can also use “Memory Stick Duo” with your camcorder.

* 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.
