Preparing the camera
Available memory cards
• Only “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo”
media, SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory
cards can be used with this camera. A MultiMediaCard cannot be used
with this camera. However, proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all
memory cards functions.
• The “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media and “Memory Stick PRO-HG
Duo” media are referred to as the “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media and
the SD memory card, SDHC memory card and SDXC memory card are
referred to as the “SD card” in this Instruction Manual.
• For recording movies, it is recommended that you use following memory
cards.
– (Mark2) (“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media
(Mark2))
– (“Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” media)
– SD memory card, SDHC memory card, SDXC memory card (Class 4 or
more)
• Images recorded on an SDXC memory card cannot be imported to or
played on computers or AV devices that are not compatible with exFAT.
Make sure that the device is compatible with exFAT before connecting it
to the camera. If you connect your camera to an incompatible device, you
may be prompted to format the card. Never format the card in response to
this prompt, as doing so will erase all data on the card. (exFAT is the file
system used on SDXC memory cards.)
