Memory Stick Operations

Using Memory Stick Introduction
The Memory Stick is a new light and small recording media which, despite of the size, can store greater data than a floppy disk. The Memory Stick can, in addition to recording images and easily playing back images you want to see, follow operations such as: Copying images into the Memory Stick from the tape Capturing images into the computer using the supplied USB cable Allow image deletion, protection and writing (with a print mark).

File format

Still image (JPEG) Your camcorder compresses and records image data in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The file extension is.jpg. Exif *Ver.2.2 JPEG compliant, DPOF compatible. *Exif: Exif is a file format for still images, established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association(JEITA). Files in this format can have additional information such as your camcorders setting information at the time of recording. Moving picture (MPEG) Your camcorder compresses and records picture data in MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) format. The file extension is.mpg. Typical image data file name Still image 101-0001: This file name appears on the screen of your camcorder. DSC00001.JPG: This file name appears on the display of a computer. Moving picture MOV00001: This file name appears on the screen of your camcorder. MOV00001.MPG: This file name appears on the display of a computer.

On handling the tape

Do not insert anything into the small holes on the rear of the cassette. These holes are used to sense the type and thickness of the tape and if the recording tab is in or out. Do not open the tape protect cover or touch the tape. Avoid touching or damaging the terminals. To remove dust, clean the terminals with a soft cloth.

Camcorder care

Eject the tape, and periodically turn on the power, operate the CAMERA and VCR sections and play back the tape for about three minutes when your camcorder is not to be used for a long time. Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust. If there are fingerprints on the lens, remove them with a soft cloth. Clean your camcorder body with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent which may damage the finish. Do not let sand get into your camcorder. When you use your camcorder on a sandy beach or in a dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause your camcorder to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

AC Adaptor

Unplug the unit from a wall outlet when you are not using the unit for a long time. To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the power cord itself. Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do not bend the power cord forcibly, or place a heavy object on it. This will damage the cord and may cause fire or electrical shock. Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the connecting section. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged. Always keep metal contacts clean. Do not disassemble the unit. Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit. While the unit is in use, particularly during charging, keep it away from AM receivers and video equipment because it will disturb AM reception and video operation. The unit becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction. Do not place the unit in locations that are: Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Vibrating
About care and storage of the lens
Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft cloth in the following instance: When there are fingerprints on the lens surface In hot or humid locations When the lens is used in environments such as the seaside Store the lens in a well-ventilated location subject to little dirt or dust. To prevent mold from occurring, periodically perform the above. We recommend turning on and operating your camcorder about once per month to keep your camcorder in an optimum state for a long time.

Rechargeable battery pack
Use only the specified charger or video equipment with the charging function. To prevent an accident from a short circuit, do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery terminals. Keep the rechargeable battery pack away from fire. Never expose the rechargeable battery pack to temperatures above 60C (140F), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. Store the rechargeable battery pack in a cool, dry place. Do not expose the rechargeable battery pack to any mechanical shock. Do not disassemble nor modify the rechargeable battery pack. Install the rechargeable battery pack to the video equipment securely. Charging while some capacity remains does not affect the original battery capacity.

Note on dry batteries

To avoid possible damage from battery leakage or corrosion, observe the following: Be sure to insert the batteries with the + polarities matched to the + marks. Dry batteries are not rechargeable. Do not use a combination of new and old batteries. Do not use different types of batteries. Current flows from batteries when you are not using them for a long time. Do not use leaking batteries. If batteries are leaking Wipe off the liquid in the battery compartment carefully before replacing the batteries. If you touch the liquid, wash it off with water.
