Storing pictures on an optional SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We recommend purchasing an SD or SDHC Card to

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.

in the camera 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).
