Use an SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We recommend purchasing an SD or
SDHC Card 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).
