About supported memory cards
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” media and
standard size SD cards can be used with this
camcorder.
• For the latest information about memory cards
that can be used, visit the home page (http://
www.sony.jp/support/r/handycam/connect/).
On image data compatibility
• Image data files recorded on a memory card by
your camcorder conform to the “Design rule for
Camera File system” universal standard
established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries
Association).
• If you cannot use the memory card that has been
used with another device, format it with your
camcorder using the procedure on page 98. Note
that formatting erases all information on the
memory card.
• You may not be able to play back images with
your camcorder:
– When playing back image data modified on
your computer.

other devices.
About “Memory Stick” media
• This unit does not support 8-bit parallel data
transfer, but supports 4-bit parallel data transfer
equivalent to Memory Stick PRO Duo media.

“MagicGate” technology. “MagicGate” is a
copyright protection technology that records and
transfers the contents in an encrypted format.
Your camcorder operates only with an
“InfoLITHIUM” V series battery pack of a
large capacity, such as the NP-FV70A.
“InfoLITHIUM” V series battery packs
have the mark.
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for communicating information related to
operating conditions between your
camcorder and a supplied AC Adaptor.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack displays
the remaining battery time in % according
to the operating situations of your
camcorder.
To use the battery pack effectively
• Battery pack performance decreases when the
ambient temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or below,
and the length of time you can use the battery
pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the
following to use the battery pack for a longer
time.
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up,
and install it in your camcorder right before
you start taking shots.
• Make sure to turn off the camcorder when you
are not recording or playing back. The battery
pack is also consumed when your camcorder is
in recording standby or playback pause.
• Have spare battery packs ready for 2 or 3 times
the expected recording time, and make trial
recordings before making the actual recording.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water resistant.
