Maintenance and precautions (Continued)
Care and storage of the discs
• Keep the disc clean, or the image quality
of the audio and video output may
deteriorate.
• Clean the disc with a soft cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out. For
dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth
slightly moistened in water, then remove
the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, cleaners
intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic spray,
as they may cause a malfunction to the
disc.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
