Using Memory Stick® Media

Select the the Device Manager tab.

To Remove a Memory Stick Media

Make sure the access light is off. Push the media in toward the computer. When 
the media ejects, pull it out. When removing the Memory Stick media, be 
careful as it may eject completely from the slot.

❑

When the media's erasure prevention switch is set to LOCK, data cannot be 
recorded or erased.

❑

Before using Memory Stick media, you should back up important data.

❑

Wait a minimum of 10 seconds after the media finishes reading or writing 
data before removing it. If the media is removed prematurely, a blue screen 
with an error message appears, prompting you to continue or exit. Re-insert 
the media into the slot and press Enter to continue. This allows the media to 
finish reading or writing data.

❑

You can enjoy video clips that you have recorded with Memory Stick-
compatible video camera recorders.

❑

The media slot can accommodate one media at a time.

❑

To copy images from a digital video camera via Memory Stick media, see 
“Connecting an i.LINK® device” on page 47.

❑

To copy images from a digital still camera via the Memory Stick media, see 
“To connect a digital still camera” in the online manual “Customizing Your 
VAIO® Z505 SuperSlim Pro™ Notebook.”

✍

If you cannot find System, open the Control Panel window and select Display Control 

Panel options. 

Warning: When copying data between Memory Stick media with different memory 

capacity, use the drag and drop method to copy data. Do not use the Copy Disk function 

of Windows. The Copy Disk function will result in the loss of the installed memory.
