ENGLISH
Inserting an SD/SDHC Card
Your camera has enough internal memory for a few practice pictures.
We highly recommend purchasing a Class 4 or higher SD/SDHC Card
to conveniently store more pictures/videos. (Card class is typically shown
on the card or packaging.)
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.
