On image data stored in the internal memory
We recommend that you copy (back up) data without error using one of the following methods.
To copy (back up) data on a Memory Stick Duo
Prepare a Memory Stick Duo with a capacity of 64 MB or more, then perform the procedure explained in [Copy] (page 50, 57).
To copy (back up) data on a hard disk of your computer
Perform the procedure on pages 66 to 69 without a Memory Stick Duo inserted in the camera.
You cannot copy image data on a Memory Stick Duo to the internal memory. You can copy data stored in the internal memory to a computer via a USB connection between a computer and your camera, but you cannot copy data on a computer to the internal memory.

Notes on connecting your camera to a computer
Operations are not guaranteed for all the recommended computer environments mentioned above. If you connect two or more USB devices to a single computer at the same time, some devices, including your camera, may not operate, depending on the types of USB devices you are using. Operations are not guaranteed when using a USB hub. Connecting your camera using a USB interface that is compatible with Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0 compliant) allows advanced transfer (high speed transfer) as this camera is compatible with HiSpeed USB (USB 2.0 compliant). There are three modes for a USB connection when connecting a computer, [Auto] (default setting), [Mass Storage] and [PTP] modes. This section describes the [Auto] and [Mass Storage] as examples. For details on [PTP], see page 59. When your computer resumes from a suspend or sleep mode, communication between your camera and your computer may not recover at the same time.

Stage 1: Preparing the camera and the computer
For a computer with a Memory Stick slot
Remove the Memory Stick Duo from the camera and insert it in the Memory Stick Duo Adaptor. Insert the Memory Stick Duo Adaptor in the computer and copy the images.
Even when you are using Windows 95/98/98 Second Edition/NT/Me, you can copy images by inserting the Memory Stick Duo into the Memory Stick slot on your computer. If the Memory Stick PRO Duo is not recognized, see page 94.
1 Insert a Memory Stick Duo with
recorded images into the camera.
When copying images in the internal memory, this step is unnecessary.
2 Insert the sufficiently charged
battery pack in the camera, or connect the camera to a wall outlet (wall socket) with the AC Adaptor (not supplied) (DSC-W35/ W55) and the USB, A/V, DC IN cable for multi-use terminal (not supplied) (DSC-W55 only).
When you copy images to your computer using a battery pack with little remaining charge, copying may fail or image data may become corrupted if the battery pack shuts down too soon.
For a computer without a Memory Stick slot
Follow Stages 1 through 4 on pages 66 to 70 to copy images.
When you are using Windows 2000, install the software (supplied) before proceeding. With Windows XP, installation is unnecessary. The screen displays shown in this section are the examples for copying images from Memory Stick Duo.
With Windows 95/98/98 Second Edition/ NT/Me:
This camera is not compatible with these version of the Windows operating system. When you use a computer without a Memory Stick slot, use a commercially available Memory Stick Reader/Writer to copy images from a Memory Stick Duo to your computer. To copy images in the internal memory to your computer, copy the images to a Memory Stick Duo first, then copy them to your computer.

DSC-W35

Cyber-shot digital still camera

PRELIM

7.2 MP Super HAD CCD More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Carl Zeiss 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design A top-quality Carl Zeiss 3X optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W35 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition:a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos. 2.0"1 LCD Screen The DSC-W35 provides a large, bright LCD screen for composing shots, checking results, sharing your photos on location and reading camera setup menus even in full sunlight. High Sensitivity Mode With high sensitivity of ISO 1000, the DSC-W35 gives you better shots in low light so you can shoot without flash to preserve the mood:great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings and candid portraits. Clear RAW Noise Reduction Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting.
56MB Internal Memory The DSC-W35 allows you to capture a large number of images without a flash memory card, making it great for traveling and candid snapshots. Memory Stick Duo Media Convenience This digital camera also has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media:the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Picture Station digital printer (sold separately). Function Guide Text/Icon Display An on-screen Function Guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust photo settings. Convenient Photo Modes To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, the DSC-W35 lets you choose from several convenient photo modes: Auto, PAuto, and Scene Selections for twilight, twilight portrait, landscape, high sensitivity, soft snap, and snow and beach environments. 14X Smart Zoom Feature4 Smart Zoom intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode The DSC-W35 lets you capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second 6 ), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
