Notes on using your computer
"Memory Stick"
•"Memory Stick" operations on your camcorder cannot be assured if a "Memory Stick"
formatted on your computer is used on your camcorder, or if the "Memory Stick" in
your camcorder was formatted from your computer when the USB cable was
connected.
•Do not compress the data on the "Memory Stick." Compressed files cannot be played
back on your camcorder.
Software
•Depending on your application software, the file size may increase when you open a
still image file.
•When you load an image modified using retouching software from your computer to
your camcorder or when you directly modify the image on your camcorder, the image
format will differ so a file error indicator may appear and you may be unable to open
the file.
Communications with your computer
Communications between your camcorder and your computer may not recover after
recovering from Suspend, Resume, or Sleep.
