Generally, clean the gold-plated connector 
on a cassette with a cotton-wool swab after 
every 10 times it has been ejected.
If the gold-plated connector on the cassette 
is dirty or dusty, the remaining tape 
indicator may not show correctly.

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 the

copyright protection technology that records and 
transfers the contents in an encrypted format.

the combination of the “Memory Stick Duo”

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,” turn the 

power off on your camcorder, or remove the 
battery pack for replacement while your 
camcorder 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.
