Using an accessory SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We recommend purchasing an SD or
SDHC Card (Class 4 or higher) to store more pictures/videos. You must
use a Class 4 or higher card to record HD video.
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.
Purchase cards www.kodak.com/go/accessories
Insert a card until it clicks.
To remove a card, press
and release it.
