Viewing image files stored on a computer with
your camera

This section describes the process using a
Windows computer as an example.
When an image file copied to a computer
no longer remains on a “Memory Stick
Duo”, you can view that image again on the
camera by copying the image file on the
computer to a “Memory Stick Duo”.

• Step 1 is not necessary if the file name set with

your camera has not been changed.

• You may be unable to play back some images

depending on the image size.

• When an image file has been processed by a

computer or when the image file was recorded
using a model other than that of your camera,
playback on your camera is not guaranteed.

• When there is no folder, first create a folder with

your camera (page 54) and then copy the image
file.

1

Right-click the image file, then
click [Rename]. Change the file
name to “DSC0
ssss”.

Enter a number from 0001 to 9999 for
ssss.

• For movie files, the file name format is

“M4V0ssss”.

• If the overwrite confirmation message

appears, enter a different number.

• An extension may be displayed depending

on the computer settings. The extension for
still images is JPG, and the extension for
movies is MP4. Do not change the
extension.

2

Copy the image file to the
“Memory Stick Duo” folder in the
following order.

1

Right-click the image file, then click
[Copy].

2

Double-click [Removable Disk] or
