Storing Pictures on an SD/SDHC Card

Your camera has enough internal memory for a couple of test 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 learnmore,gotowww.eye.fi

A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it in the wrong way may cause damage. Inserting or removing a card while the camera is on may damage the pictures, card, or the camera.

IMPORTANT: When you turn on the camera, it checks to see if a card is inserted. If pictures/videos are detected on the internal memory, the camera will prompt you to move them to the SD card. New pictures/ videos will be stored on the SD card.
