Setting up your camera
Your camera has internal memory. You can purchase an SD or MMC card to conveniently store more pictures and videos (www.kodak.com/go/c713accessories, www.kodak.com/go/c813accessories). We recommend Kodak SD or MMC cards.
NOTE: To choose a storage location for pictures and videos, see page 25.
1Turn off the camera.
2Insert or remove the optional card.
3Turn on the camera.
CAUTION:
A card can only be inserted one way; forcing it may cause damage. If you insert or remove a card while the camera is accessing it, the card, pictures, or camera may be damaged.
See page 52 for storage capacities.
