Storing pictures on an SD/MMC card
Your camera has 16 MB of internal memory. You can purchase an SD/MMC card to
conveniently store more pictures and videos.
NOTE: We recommend Kodak SD/MMC cards. When using the card for the first time, format it in this
camera before taking pictures (see page 29).
CAUTION:
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause
damage. Inserting or remo ing a card when the Ready light is
blinking may damage pictures, card, or camera.
See page 50 for storage capacities. Purchase SD/MMC cards at a dealer of Kodak
products or visit www.kodak.com/go/c530accessories.
