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

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

all information on the "Memory Stick."
