Using Your VAIO Computer

Using the Memory Stick

The Memory Stick is a compact, portable, and versatile IC recording media especially designed for exchanging and sharing
digital data with compatible products, such as digital cameras, mobile phones, and other devices. Because it is removable,
it can be used for external data storage.

Before You Use the Memory Stick

The Memory Stick slot on your computer can accommodate Duo-size media and supports Memory Stick PRO Duo and
Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo with high-speed data transfer and large data capacity capabilities.

Before using a Memory Stick Micro (M2), be sure to insert it into an M2 Duo adaptor. If you insert the media directly into the Memory Stick slot without
the adaptor, you may not be able to remove it from the slot.

Your computer has been tested and found compatible with Sony branded Memory Stick with capacity of up to 16 GB that are available as of September
2008. However, not all the Memory Stick that meet the same specifications as the compatible media are guaranteed of compatibility.

Inserting a Memory Stick with multiple conversion adaptors is not guaranteed of compatibility.
