b Notes
• Operations are not guaranteed on all the
recommended environments.
For example, other open or background
applications running on currently may limit
product performance.
• Even in a computer environment where the
operations are guaranteed, frames may be
dropped from movies with HD (high definition)
image quality, resulting in uneven playback.
However, imported images and images on discs
created subsequently will not be affected.
z Tips
• If your computer has a Memory Stick slot, insert
the "Memory Stick Duo" on which still images
are recorded into the Memory Stick Duo
Adaptor (optional), then insert it into the
Memory Stick slot on your computer to copy
still images to the computer.
• When using a "Memory Stick PRO Duo" and
your computer is not compatible with it, connect
your camcorder with the USB cable instead of
using the Memory Stick slot on the computer.
