“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable 
and versatile IC recording medium with a 
data capacity that exceeds the capacity of a 
floppy disk. 
There are two types of “Memory Stick”: an 
ordinary “Memory Stick” and a 
“MagicGate Memory Stick.” You can use 
both types of “Memory Stick” with your 
camera. However, because your camera 
does not support the MagicGate standards, 
data recorded with your camera is not 
subject to MagicGate* copyright 
protection. 

MagicGate is copyright protection technology 
that uses encryption technology. 

You cannot record or delete images when the 
write-protect tab is set to LOCK. The position 
or the shape of the write-protect tab may differ 
depending on the “Memory Stick” you use. 

Do not remove the “Memory Stick” while 
reading or writing data. 

Data may be damaged in a location subject to 
the effects of static electricity or noise. 

Do not attach any other material than the 
supplied label on the labeling position. 

When you carry or store the “Memory Stick,” 
put it in the case supplied with it. 

Do not touch the terminals of a “Memory 
Stick” with your hand or a metal object. 

Do not strike, bend or drop a “Memory Stick.” 

Do not disassemble or modify a “Memory 
Stick.”

Do not expose the “Memory Stick” to water. 

• Battery performance decreases in low-

temperature surroundings, and the battery 
life is shortened under such 
circumstances. To use the battery longer, 
we recommend you keep the battery in a 
pocket close to your body to warm it, and 
insert it in your camera just before you 
start shooting. 

• If you use the LCD screen or shoot a lot 

using the zoom, the battery power will be 
used up faster.

• We recommend having spare batteries 

handy for two or three times the expected 
shooting time, and try test shooting 
before the actually using the camera. 

• Do not expose the battery to water. The 

battery is not water-resistant.
