Use a fully charged battery pack. If you attempt to copy image files using a battery pack with little
remaining charge, the battery pack may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly corrupting the data.
Images cannot be copied individually.
The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the
internal memory, remove the “Memory Stick Duo” media after copying, then format the internal memory
([Format] in [Internal Memory Tool]).
A new folder is created on the “Memory Stick Duo” media and all the data will be copied to it. You
cannot choose a specific folder and copy images to it.

Formats the “Memory Stick Duo” media or the internal memory. A commercially available
 “Memory Stick Duo” media is already formatted, and can be used immediately.

1   MENU              (Settings)              ("Memory Stick" Tool) or        (Internal
 

Memory Tool)       [Format]       [OK]            on the control button
