On "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":
ordinary "Memory Stick" and "MagicGate
Memory Stick" that is equipped with the
MagicGate* copyright protection
technology. You can use both types 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.
In addition, you can also use "Memory
Stick Duo" or "Memory Stick PRO" with
your camera.
* MagicGate is copyright protection technology
that uses encryption technology.
• "Memory Stick" formatted with a computer is
not guaranteed to operate with this camera.
