Storing ictures on an xD-Picture Card
Your camera has 16 MB of internal memory. You can purchase an xD-Picture Card to
conveniently store more pictures and videos.
OTE: We recommend Kodak xD-Picture Cards. When using the card for the first time, format it in this
camera before taking pictures (see page 32).
CAUTION:
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause
damage. Inserting or removing a card when the Ready light is
blinking may damage ictures, card, or camera.
See page 53 for storage capacities. Purchase xD-Picture Cards at a dealer of Kodak
products or www.kodak.com/go/cd43accessories.
