• When using a “Memory Stick Duo” with a 

“Memory Stick” compliant device, be sure to 
insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into a Memory 
Stick Duo adaptor.

• When inserting a “Memory Stick Duo” into a 

Memory Stick Duo adaptor, make sure the 
“Memory Stick Duo” is inserted facing in the 
correct direction, then insert it all the way in. If 
you force the “Memory Stick Duo” into the 
Memory Stick Duo adaptor in the wrong 
direction or insert it incompletely, it may cause 
a malfunction. 

• Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo adaptor 

without a “Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing 
so may result in malfunctions of the unit.

• The maximum memory capacity of a “Memory 

Stick PRO Duo” that can be used on your 
camcorder is 8 GB.

• To use a “Memory Stick Micro” with the VCR, 

you need a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor. Insert the 
“Memory Stick Micro” into the Duo-sized M2 
Adaptor, then insert the adaptor into the 
Memory Stick Duo slot. If you insert a 
“Memory Stick Micro” into the VCR without 
using a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor, you might not 
be able to remove it from the VCR.

• Do not leave the “Memory Stick Micro” within 

the reach of small children. They might 
accidentally swallow it.

Electronics and Information Technology 
Industries Association).

models are not sold in some regions).

• If you cannot use a “Memory Stick Duo” that 

has been used with another device, format it 
with your camcorder (p. 51). Note that 
formatting erases all information on the 
“Memory Stick Duo.”

• You may not be able to play back images with 

your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on 

your computer.

– When playing back image data recorded with 

other devices.

This unit is compatible with an 
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (H series).
