ENGLISH
Storing pictures on an SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has enough internal memory for a couple practice pictures.
We highly recommend purchasing a Class 4 or higher SD/SDHC Card (up
to 32 GB) to conveniently store more pictures/videos. (Card class is
typically shown on the card and/or packaging.)
NOTE: Your camera also accepts EYE-FI Cards (type X2). To learn more, go to
www.eye.fi .
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.
1Turn off the camera, then open
the door.
2Insert a card until it clicks into
place. To remove a card, press
and release it.
IMPORTANT: When you turn on
the camera, it checks to see if a card
is inserted. If pictures/videos are
detected in internal memory, the
camera prompts you to move them
to the card. New pictures/videos are
stored on the card.
