Notes on using your computer
“Memory Stick”
•“Memory Stick” operations on your camcorder cannot be assured if a “Memory Stick”
formatted on your computer is used on your camcorder, or if the “Memory Stick” in
your camcorder was formatted using your computer when the USB cable was
connected.
•Do not optimize the “Memory Stick” on a Windows machine. This will shorten the
“Memory Stick” life.
•Do not compress the data on the “Memory Stick.” Compressed files cannot be played
back on your camcorder.
Software
•Depending on your application software, the file size may increase when you open a
still image file.
•When you load an image modified using a retouch software from your computer to
the camcorder or when you directly modify the image on the camcorder, the image
format will differ so a file error indicator may appear and you may be unable to open
the file.
Communicating with your computer
Communications between your camcorder and your computer may not recover after
recovering from Suspend, Resume, or Sleep.
