About Memory 
Stick

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a compact-size IC 
recording medium with a large capacity. It 
has been designed not only for exchanging/
sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” 
compliant products, but also for serving as an 
insertable/removable external storage 
medium that can save data.

Notes on “Memory Stick” 

On formatting (initialization)

If you format media in which data has been 
already written, all the data will be erased. 
Please be cautious not to mistakenly erase 
any important data.

Please make sure to format (initialize) a 
medium with the formatter of a “Memory 
Stick” compliant product. If it is initialized 
with Windows Explorer, a FORMAT 
ERROR occurs, and data on the medium 
can no longer be used by this product.
