Sony NSC-GC1 Handbuch

A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable 
IC recording medium with a large data 
capacity.
You can use the following types of 
“Memory Stick” listed below on this 
camera. However, we do not guarantee the 
operation of all types of “Memory Stick” on 
your camera. (See the list below for more 
details.)

*1

The types of “Memory Stick Duo” that support 
high speed data transfer. The speed of data 
transfer varies depending on the device to be 
used.

*2

 Your camera does not support an 8-bit parallel 
data transfer. A 4-bit parallel data transfer, as 
same as “Memory Stick PRO Duo”, is 
supported.

• Your camera cannot record or play data that uses 

“MagicGate” technology. “MagicGate” is a 
copyright protection technology that records and 
transfers the contents in an encrypted format.

• Your camera is compatible with “Memory Stick 

Micro” (“M2”). “M2” is the abbreviation for the 
“Memory Stick Micro”.

• Still image format: Your camera compresses and 

records image data in the JPEG (Joint 
Photographic Experts Group) format. The file 
extension is “.JPG”.

• A “Memory Stick Duo” formatted by a 

computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not have 
guaranteed compatibility with your camera.

• Data read/write speed may vary depending on 

the combination of the “Memory Stick Duo” 
and “Memory Stick Duo” compliant product 
you use.

• You can prevent accidental erasure of images 

when you slide the write-protect tab on the 
“Memory Stick Duo” with a small tapered 
object, to the write-protect position.

• Damaged or lost image data will not be 

compensated for, and may occur in the 
following cases:

– If you eject the “Memory Stick Duo” or turn 

the power off on your camera while your 
camera is reading or writing image files on the 
“Memory Stick Duo” (while the access lamp 
is lit or flashing).

– If you use the “Memory Stick Duo” near 

magnets or magnetic fields.

• It is recommended you make a back-up of 

important data on the hard disk of a computer.

• Be careful not to apply excessive force when 

writing on a memo area on a “Memory Stick 
Duo”.

• Do not attach a label or the like on a “Memory 

Stick Duo” or a Memory Stick Duo adaptor.

• When you carry or store a “Memory Stick Duo”, 

put it in its case.

• Do not touch, or allow metallic objects to come 

into contact with the terminals.

• Do not bend, drop or apply strong force to the 

“Memory Stick Duo”.

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory 

Stick Duo”.

• Do not let the “Memory Stick Duo” get wet.
• Be careful to keep “Memory Stick Duo” media 

out of the reach of small children. There is 
danger that a child might swallow it.

• Do not insert anything other than a “Memory 

Stick Duo” into the Memory Stick Duo slot. 
Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• Do not use or keep the “Memory Stick Duo” in 

the following locations:

– Places subject to extremely high temperature, 

such as a car parked outside in the summer.

– Places under direct sunlight.
– Places with extremely high humidity or 

subject to corrosive gases.
