Using an accessory SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We recommend
purchasing an SD or SDHC Card (Class 4 or higher) to
store more pictures/videos.
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
pictures, the card, or the camera.
IMPORTANT:
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).
