Prepare the recording medium
This section describes how to update using a Memory Stick™/Memory Stick Duo™. If you are using an SD memory card, CompactFlash card, or xD-Picture Card, please replace Memory Stick™/Memory Stick Duo™ with your using memory card in the following explanations.

Prepare an initialized (formatted) Memory Stick™/Memory Stick Duo™. For details about how to initialize (format) it, please see the Operating Instructions of your digital camera.

Note:

• Please use a Memory Stick™/Memory Stick Duo™ that has been initialized (formatted) by your digital camera, or initialized (formatted) by the dedicated Memory Stick formatting software Memory Stick Formatter™.
  
• Please use an SD memory card that has been initialized (formatted) by your digital camera.
  
• We do not recommend initializing (formatting) with a computer, as the DPF-E710 may not recognize the recording medium, depending on the type of initialization format. If you have no choice but to use a recording medium that has been initialized with a computer, copy a JPEG image file and check to see if it is displayed correctly on the DPF-E710.
  
• The firmware update may fail if the Memory Stick™/Memory Stick Duo™ contains other files as well as the update file. You should therefore always use a Memory Stick™/Memory Stick Duo™ that has just been initialized (formatted).

There is no need to restore backed up image and music data to the device after a firmware update if the image and music data in its internal memory is the same as it was before the firmware update.

You should therefore check the image and music data in the device's internal memory before attempt to restore backup image data to its internal memory.
