Memory Card Information
Mobile Phones:
Sony Ericsson
mobile phones generally use Memory Stick
Micro M2 memory cards. This format is
solely for Sony Ericsson devices. Most
Sony Ericsson mobile phones can use
large capacities but please refer to the
configurator for exact memory limits.
Most Other mobile phones now use
Micro-SD memory cards. The majority of
mobile phones on the market will be able
to use up to 2GB. Most of the newer
mobile phones can use larger Micro-SD
cards up to 16GB. All Micro-SD memory
cards 4GB and above are also referred to
as Micro-SDHC (Micro SD High Capacity).
You may see them called Micro-SD or
Micro-SDHC but if they are 4GB or above
they are all the same format. Please
check the configurator to see if your
mobile use the higher capacity cards.
Digital Cameras:
Sony Digital Cameras use either
Memory Stick Pro Duo or Memory Stick
Pro. Generally if you camera was
manufactured after 2006 it will use
Memory Stick Pro Duo which is the newer
format of Sony memory cards. These are
smaller than Memory Stick Pro. If you do
have an older Sony camera that uses
Memory Stick Pro you will need to
purchase a Memory Stick Pro Duo memory
card that comes bundled with an Memory
Stick Pro adaptor. This is becuase Sony
no longer produce Memory Stick Pro cards
on their own.
Fuji and Olympus Digital Cameras
use a format called XD-Picture card.
These memory cards are solely for Fuji
and Olympus cameras and will not work
with any other brand of camera.
XD-Picture cards are a slightly
different format to the older XD cards.
If your camera was produced prior to
2004 please check that it supports
XD-Picture cards.
Most other digital camera brands
use either SD or SDHC memory cards.
Nearly all cameras that support SD will
be able to use SD memory cards up to
2GB. If your camera was produced after
2007 then there is a good chance that it
will also support SDHC. This stands for
SD High Capacity and is a slightly
different format to SD. SDHC memory
cards are now available up to 32GB.
Please check the configurator above to
see if your camera supports SDHC.
SDHC compatible devices are backwards
compatible, so if your camera supports
SDHC it will also support SD cards up to
2GB. This is not true the other way
around though. If your camera only
supports SD you will not be able to use
SDHC memory cards.
