“Memory Stick” Operations
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).
