ENGLISH
Using an accessory MICROSD/SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We recommend purchasing a
MICROSD/SDHC Card (Class 4 or higher) 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).
Purchase cards www.kodak.com/go/accessories
1
Turn off the camera, then
open the door.
2
Insert a card until it clicks.
3
Turn on the camera.
To remove a card, press
