Using a “Memory Stick” – Introduction“Memory Stick”s formatted on a computer

“Memory Stick”s formatted on Windows OS or Macintosh computers are not guaranteed compatible with your camcorder.

Notes on image data compatibility

•Image data files recorded on “Memory Stick”s by your camcorder conform with the Design Rules for Camera File Systems universal standard established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). You cannot play back on your camcorder still images recorded on other equipment (DCR- TRV890E/TRV900/TRV900E or DSC-D700/D770) that does not conform with this universal standard. (These models are not sold in some areas.)

•If you cannot use the “Memory Stick” that is used with other equipment, format it with this camcorder (p. 180). However, formatting erases all information on the “Memory Stick.”
