Inserting an accessory SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has enough internal memory for a practice video/picture.
IMPORTANT: For the best experience and to use the sharing
features—including social networking and email—you must
purchase and insert a card (SDHC Class 4 or higher; maximum
supported size: 32 GB).
CAUTION:
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause damage.
Inserting or removing a card while the camera is on may damage the
video/pictures, the card, or the camera.
When you turn on the camera, it checks to see if a card is inserted. If so,
new pictures/videos are stored on the card. If no card is inserted, new
pictures/videos are stored in the camera’s internal memory. If pictures/videos
are detected in internal memory and a card is inserted, the camera prompts
you to move the pictures to the card (and erase those in internal memory).
