Image File Storage Destinations And Image File Names - Sony MVC-FD97 Service Manual

Notes on using your computer
Floppy disk/" Memory Stick "
• Format the floppy disk or "Memory Stick" only using this camera
(page 72). You cannot format the floppy disk or "Memory Stick" using
a computer via the USB cable.
• Use only a DOS/V 2HD format floppy disk. Other disks will not be recognized by a
computer.
• Do not optimize the "Memory Stick" on a Windows machine. This will shorten the
"Memory Stick" life.
• Do not compress the data on the floppy disk or "Memory Stick." Compressed files
cannot be played back on your camera.
Software
• Depending on your application software, the file size may increase when you open
a still image file.
• When you load an image modified using the supplied retouching software from
your computer to the camera or when you directly modify the image on the camera,
the image format will differ so the "FILE ERROR" message may appear and you
may be unable to open the file.
• Depending on your application software, only the first frame of a Clip Motion
image may be displayed.
Communications with your computer
Communications between your camera and your computer may not recover after
recovering from Standby or Sleep.
Other
When connecting the camera to a computer or when using an external power source,
remove the battery pack from inside the camera.
