Precautions
• To prevent data loss, make backups of data frequently. In
no event will Sony be liable for any loss of data.
• Unauthorized recording may be contrary to the
provisions of copyright law. When you use a “Memory

material has been recorded in accordance with copyright
and other applicable laws.
• The “Memory Stick” application software may be
modified or changed by Sony without prior notice.
3-9-1 Notes on "Memory Stick"
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile
IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. “Memory
Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing
digital data among “Memory Stick”-compatible products.
Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used
for external data storage.
“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and
compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a
“Memory Stick Duo” adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” is to
the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be
used with products compliant with standard “Memory
Stick.”

“Memory Stick” is available in the following six types to
meet various functional requirements.
