On "Memory Stick"
What is "Memory Stick"?
"Memory Stick" is a new-generation IC storage media that is ultra-small and lightweight and has far greater storage capacity than floppy disks. The media can be used not only for transferring data between "Memory Stick" compatible products, but also as a removable, external storage media for storing data.
"Memory Stick" is available in standard size and a smaller size called "Memory Stick Duo." When "Memory Stick Duo" is inserted into a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor, the size becomes the same as the standardized "Memory Stick" to allow use with products that are compatible with the standard-sized "Memory Stick."
"Memory Stick" types that can be used with this unit
- Five types of "Memory Stick" are available to suit your needs.
"Memory Stick PRO"
This type of "Memory Stick" can only be used with products that are compatible with "Memory Stick PRO," and the media features built-in copyright-protection technology ("MagicGate"). (You need the application software programs compatible with copyright-protection technology to use copyright-protection technology of "Memory Stick PRO" with this unit.)
"Memory Stick"
A "Memory Stick" that allows recording of all kinds of data with the exception of data requiring copyright-protection technology ("MagicGate").
"Memory Stick Duo" (MagicGate/High-speed data Transfer compatible)
"Memory Stick Duo" is a "Memory Stick" with the "MagicGate" copyright protection technology, and supports high-speed data transfer. You can use this unit with "Memory Stick" compatible devices and "Memory Stick PRO" compatible devices. (The transfer speed varies depending on the "Memory Stick" compatible device used.)
"Memory Stick" (with Memory Select Function)
This is a "Memory Stick" containing more than one memory (128 MB). The memory select switch on the back of the "Memory Stick" enables you to select the memory most suitable for the intended use. You cannot use different memories at the same time or in succession.
"MagicGate Memory Stick"
This is a "Memory Stick" featuring built-in copyright protection technology ("MagicGate").
What is "MagicGate"?
"MagicGate" is a copyright protection technology that operates when it is provided in both the "Memory Stick" and the product in which the media is used. A "Do you comply with MagicGate?" authentication takes place between devices equipped with MagicGate (this unit, etc.) and the
"Memory Stick." Data encryption takes places after the authentication.
Copyright-protected data cannot be played back on devices other than those certified for this.
Music and other data that require copyright protection can be recorded and played back by using a combination of a MagicGate compatible "Memory Stick" and equipment compatible with "MagicGate," such as this unit.
Different types of data can be recorded on a single "Memory Stick."
For example, it is possible to record image data on the remaining empty section of a MagicGate compatible "Memory Stick" containing music data.
Using MagicGate compatible "Memory Stick"
Notes
- Formatting a MagicGate compatible "Memory Stick" containing data will delete all the data, including music data. Be careful not to delete important data accidentally. Sony can not be held responsible for the data lost through formatting.
- What you record are for personal enjoyment only. Copyright laws prohibit other forms of use without the permission of the copyright holder.
- In no event will Sony be liable for the data contents in case download of recorded material is impeded or music data is corrupted or deleted due to malfunctions of this unit or the "Memory Stick."
Note
This device is not equipped with MagicGate.

Notes on use of the Microdrive
- Be sure to format the Microdrive using this camera when you use it for the first time.
- The Microdrive is a compact hard disk drive. Since the Microdrive is a rotating disk, the Microdrive is not strong enough to resist vibration and shock compared to a "Memory Stick," which uses flash memory.
Be sure not to transmit vibration or shock to the Microdrive during playback or shooting.
Data may be damaged in the following cases:
- Removing the Microdrive while reading or writing data.
- If you store the Microdrive near corrosive material.
- Note that the use of the Microdrive under 5^ ( 41^ ) may bring performance degradation. Operating temperature range when using the Microdrive: 5^ to 40^ ( 41^ to 104^ )
- Note that the camera cannot be used under low atmospheric pressure (above 3000 meters above sea-level).
- The Microdrive may be hot just after it has been used. Be careful when you handle it.
- Do not write on the label.
- Do not remove the label or attach a new label over the label.
- When you carry or store the Microdrive, put it in the case supplied with it.
- Do not expose the Microdrive to water.
