Using Memory Card▶Checking Available Memory Card※ This model supports SD, MMC, Memory STick, and Memory Stick Pro.SD, MMC,Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro cards are mobile storage devices like a floppy disk, widely used inmany digital products these days. To use a Memory Stick Duo card, Memory Stick Pro Duo card, mini SD card, micro SD card, or an MMCmobile card, mount it on the dedicated adapter and insert the adapter into the multi-card slot.(The available memory type and capacity may differ by the computer model type.) ※ Check availability before buying a memory card.Directlyapplicablememory cardsMemory cardsapplicableindirectlythroughdedicatedadapter
Auxiliary Storage/Memory            127▶Mounting and Using Memory CardInsert the card into the multi-card slot to the fullest in the right direction.■When the memory card is formatted, the data stored in the memory card will be deleted. Checkwhether there are important data before formatting the memory stick.■To format a memory stick, right-click Memory Stick drive and select Format. When Formatwindow appears, click Start to continue.■The format feature may not be available on those Windows whose version is lower thanWindows XP.
