ADVANTAGE: Outstanding waterproof functions protect data during outdoor use of memory media (in rain and other weather)

REASON: SiP structure adopted

Memory media demonstrates outstanding waterproof
performance by adopting a System in Package (SiP) structure,
where flash memory, wiring and other elements, along with the
entire circuit board, are protected in molded resin.


Memory media conforms to IPX7 droplet- and water-proof
performance standards set forth by the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Memory media has been
proven to be internally impermeable by water even when
submerged temporarily at a fixed depth of 1 m of room-
temperature tap water for 30 minutes.

Even if memory media becomes wet, Sony customers may
rest assured that the memory media's outstanding waterproof
structure will help ensure that no recorded data will be lost.

*Please wipe off the drop of water before using memory
media.













ADVANTAGE:
A dust-resilient structure protects data during outdoor use of memory media (in high winds or sandy/dusty environments, etc.)

REASON:
SiP structure adopted.


Memory media demonstrates outstanding dust proof performance by adopting a System in Package (SiP) structure, where flash memory, wiring and other elements, along with the entire circuit board, are protected in molded resin.

Memory media conforms to IP5X by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Memory media has been proven to be internally impenetrable to an amount of dust particles that could have a harmful impact.

Even when filming in high winds or in environments where there are clouds of dust or sand, Sony customers may rest assured that the memory media's dust-resilient structure will help ensure that these conditions have no impact on memory media data.

*Please remove any dust before using memory media.

ADVANTAGE:
Memory media is shockproof and difficult to break even under pressure (resilient to bending and twisting)

REASON:
Passes durability (strength) test and drop test

Durability (strength) tests through bending and twisting are conducted to help ensure that memory media is safe, even when kept in one's trouser pocket. Moreover, memory media has also passed a durability test of 10,000 slot insertions and removals. Memory media is highly durable and damage proof from repeated insertions and removals from the card slot of digital still cameras, video cameras and other devices.

Furthermore, drop tests of memory media were also conducted (memory media was dropped from a height of 1.5 m using a dropping apparatus). Sony testing has verified that memory media will operate normally with no impact on data after drop tests.

*Please check the direction of your memory media upon insertion into the device.

ADVANTAGE:
Memory media may be used in a wide variety of temperature conditions, including mid-summer heat and bitter cold

REASON:
Passes operating temperature test

Operating temperature tests were conducted. Operation in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 85°C was verified. Sony has assumed a broad range of usage environments, such as mid-summer heat and bitter cold, to help ensure durability.

ADVANTAGE:
No impact on memory media data from ultraviolet

REASON:
Conformance with ISO 7816-1. Passes ultraviolet ray irradiation test.



Memory media conforms to ISO7816-1, the International standard for ultraviolet ray irradiation testing.

The main body of memory media is made from a plastic that blocks ultraviolet rays. For this reason, there is no impact on data even when memory media is used outdoors in mid-summer and near the seashore, where solar ultraviolet rays are strong.

ADVANTAGE:
No impact on memory media data from airport X-ray screening.

REASON:
Conformance with ISO 7816-1.

Memory media conforms to the ISO 7816-1 international standard for X-ray screening testing. No impact on memory media data from airport X-ray screening.

ADVANTAGE:
No impact on memory media data even when placed close to electronic products that give off a magnetic field

REASON:
Passes magnetic resistance testing.

Through Sony's magnetic-resistance tests, Sony has verified normal memory media operation with no problems after leaving memory media on top of a powerful magnet (2,500 gauss*) for 70 hours.

There is no impact on memory media data even if memory media is placed close to consumer electronics that give off a magnetic field.

ADVANTAGE:
Resilient to dry seasons and conditions

REASON:
Conformance with IEC 61000-4-2 for anti static testing

Memory media conforms to the IEC 61000-4-2 set forth by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). +/-15 kV air discharge performance has been proven.

Data will be protected even when memory media is used in dry seasons and conditions.

ADVANTAGE:
Compatibility with many hardware devices

REASON:
Passes strict compatibility test with hardware devices

Memory media is compatible with many Sony and other manufactures' hardware devices.

Sony conducts an multiple strict compatibility tests covering approximately 1,000 tests, particularly with respect to Sony devices, prior to shipping memory media.

One of Sony's unique strengths as a manufacturer of both hardware devices and memory media is Sony's ability to coordinate rigorous compatibility tests for both types of products beginning with the new product planning stage.
