Storing pictures on an SD or MMC card
Your camera has 32 MB of internal memory. You can purchase an SD or MM card to
conveniently store more pictures and videos.
NOTE: When using the card for the first time, format the card in this camera before taking pictures (see
page 39).
We recommend Kodak SD or MM cards.
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 the pictures, the card, or the camera.
See page 59 for storage capacities. Purchase SD or MM cards at a dealer of Kodak
products or at www.kodak.com/go/c653accessories or
www.kodak.com/go/c623accessories.
