Viewing images with a computer – Introduction
Notes on using a computer
"Memory Stick"
•"Memory Stick" operations on your camcorder cannot be assured if the "Memory
Stick" formatted on a computer is used on your camcorder, or if the "Memory Stick"
in your camcorder was formatted from the 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 a 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 a computer
Communications between your camcorder and a computer may not recover after
recovering from Suspend, Resume, or Sleep.
