About the Memory Stick

A "Memory Stick" is a compact, portable IC recording medium with a large data capacity. You can use only a "Memory Stick Duo," which is about the half size of a standard "Memory Stick," with your camcorder. However, we do not guarantee the operation of all types of "Memory Stick Duo" on your camcorder.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or leave it in a humid place. When you carry or store the disc, put it in its case. When you want to write letters or marks, etc. on a single-sided disc, write only on the printed side using an oil-based marker with a felt-tip, and do not touch the ink until it dries. Do not heat the disc or use a sharp-pointed tool, such as ball point pen. Do not dry the surface by heating. You cannot write, or mark, on double-sided discs.

*1 A Memory Stick Duo is about half the size of a standard Memory Stick. *2 The types of Memory Stick that support high speed data transfer. The speed of data transfer varies depending on the device to be used. *3 MagicGate is a copyright protection technology that records and transfers the contents in an encrypted format. Note that data that uses MagicGate technology cannot be recorded or played on your camcorder. Still image format: Your camcorder compresses and records image data in the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The file extension is.JPG. File names of still images: 101- 0001: This file name appears on the screen of your camcorder. DSC00001.JPG: This file name appears on the display of a computer. A Memory Stick Duo formatted by a computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not have guaranteed compatibility with your camcorder. Continued ,

x On a Memory Stick PRO Duo The maximum memory capacity of a Memory Stick PRO Duo that can be used on your camcorder is 4 GB.
On image data compatibility
Image data files recorded on a Memory Stick Duo by your camcorder conform to the Design rule for Camera File system universal standard established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). On your camcorder, you cannot play back still images recorded on other devices (DCRTRV900E or DSC-D700/D770) that do not conform to the universal standard. (These models are not sold in some regions.)
If you cannot use a Memory Stick Duo that has been used with another device, format it with your camcorder (p. 58). Note that formatting erases all information on the Memory Stick Duo. You may not be able to play back images with your camcorder: When playing back image data modified on your computer. When playing back image data recorded with other devices.
To use the battery pack effectively
Battery pack performance decreases when the surrounding temperature is 10 C (50 F) or below, and the length of time you can use the battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the following to use the battery pack for a longer time. Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, and insert it in your camcorder right before you start taking shots. Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/ NP-FH100 (optional). Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent playback, fast forward or rewind operation wears out the battery pack faster. We recommend using a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/NP-FH100. Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) when not recording or playing back on your camcorder. The battery pack is also consumed when your camcorder is in recording standby or playback pause. Have spare battery packs ready for two or three times the expected recording time, and make trial recordings using a DVD-RW/DVD+RW before making the actual recording. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant.
About the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack

For DC or AC operation, use the accessories recommended in these operating instructions. Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example, from rain or sea water. If your camcorder gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired. If any solid object or liquid gets inside the casing, unplug your camcorder and have it checked by a Sony dealer before operating it any further. Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens. Keep the POWER switch setting to OFF (CHG) when you are not using your camcorder. Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for example, and operate it. Doing so might cause heat to build up inside. When disconnecting the mains lead, pull it by the plug and not the cord. Do not damage the mains lead such as by placing anything heavy on it. Keep metal contacts clean. Keep the Remote Commander and button-type battery out of childrens reach. If the battery is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. If the battery electrolytic liquid has leaked: consult your local authorized Sony service facility. wash off any liquid that may have contacted your skin. if any liquid gets in your eyes, wash with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
x When not using your camcorder for a long time
Periodically turn it on and let it run such as by playing back discs or recording for about 3 minutes. Remove a disc from your camcorder. Use up the battery pack completely before storing it.

Moisture condensation

If your camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside your camcorder, on the surface of the disc, or on the pickup lens. This may cause a malfunction to your camcorder. x If moisture condensation has occurred Leave your camcorder for about 1 hour without turning it on. x Note on moisture condensation Moisture may condense when you bring your camcorder from a cold place into a warm place (or vice versa) or when you use your camcorder in a humid place as follows: You bring your camcorder from a ski slope into a place warmed up by a heating device. You bring your camcorder from an air conditioned car or room into a hot place outside. You use your camcorder after a squall or a shower.
