Using a “Memory Stick” – Introduction

The “Memory Stick” is a new light and small recording media which, despite the size,
can store more data than a floppy disk.

You can use the “Memory Stick” as an external recording media that can be attached or
removed as well as exchanging data between the units.
There are two types of “Memory Stick”: an ordinary “Memory Stick” and a “MagicGate
Memory Stick” that are equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick” with your camcorder.
However, because your camcorder does not support the MagicGate standards, data
recorded with your camcorder is not subject to MagicGate*
