Storing ictures on an SD/SDHC card
Your camera has internal memory. You can purchase an SD or SDHC memory card to
conveniently store more pictures and videos (www.kodak.com/go/m893accessories).

CAUTION:
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause
damage. If you insert or remove a card while the camera is
accessing it, the card, ictures, or camera may be damaged.
See page 60 for storage capacities.
