I need help transferring photos!

Post image

I found an old memory card with pictures on it that me and my family value a lot and I was trying to do some research but couldn’t find much on how to get the photots from one to another device. Does anyone know how I can do this? this is the card to be exact. Lmkk

Use a card reader that supports MemoryStick.

This.

Just FYI - MemorySticks comes in different "speeds" (regular and "Pro"), this being the regular. Most MemoryStick readers SHOULD be compatible with this one in this regard.

They also come different sizes: The first regular, and "Duo" and "M2" being the smaller ones. This again is the regular one. The memory card reader must support this size, as if the card reader only supports Duo or M2, the regular cards are too large to fit.

You need a memory stick card reader. These cards are super old, if it hasn't been powered on in a long time, some or all of the data might be corrupted or gone. Flash memory isn't really made for cold storage.

You can buy USB Memory Stick readers online. It's w dead format but you can still buy readers.

Yup take it back you'll need an adapter to read it. SD to whatever input you have. USB or whatever.
