The "Memory Stick - Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P32 Operating Instructions Manual

The internal rechargeable button
battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable
button battery for maintaining the date and
time and other settings regardless of
whether the power is on or off.
This rechargeable button battery is
continually charged as long as you are using
the camera. However, if you use the camera
for only short periods it discharges
gradually, and if you do not use the camera
at all for about one month it becomes
completely discharged. In this case, be sure
to charge this rechargeable button battery
before using the camera.
Note that even if this rechargeable button
battery is not charged, you can still use the
camera as long as you do not record the date
and time.
How to charge
Connect the camera to a wall outlet (wall
socket) using the AC Adaptor (not
supplied), or install charged batteries, and
leave the camera for 24 hours or more with
the power turned off.

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.
You can use the "Memory Stick" as an
external recording media that can be
attached or removed as well as exchanging
data between the units.
There are two types of "Memory Stick": an
ordinary "Memory Stick" and a
"MagicGate Memory Stick" that are
equipped with the MagicGate copyright
protection technology. You can use both
types of "Memory Stick" with your camera.

support the MagicGate standards, data
recorded with your camera is not subject to

that uses encryption technology.
