Formatting a
“Memory Stick“
You can format a “Memory Stick“ using the
Memory Stick IC Recorder. Formatting will
delete all data recorded in the “Memory
Stick“ including images and other data.
Before formatting, check the data in the
“Memory Stick“.
Because a commercially available “Memory
Stick“ has already been formatted at the
factory, you do not need to format a
“Memory Stick“ before the first use.
The supplied “Memory Stick“ has also
already been formatted.
