About the “Memory
Stick”
What is a “Memory Stick”?
A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and
versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with a
data storage capacity that exceeds that of a floppy
disk. A “Memory Stick” is specially designed for
exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory
Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable,
the “Memory Stick” can also be used for external
data storage.
“Memory Stick” media are available in two sizes: a
standard size and a compact “Memory Stick Duo”
size. Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter,
the “Memory Stick Duo” is physically the same size
as a standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used
with products compliant with the standard “Memory
Stick.”
Tip
The “Memory Stick” feature allows you to view
digital images that are stored on “Memory Stick”
media on your TV screen.
