SD/SDHC Card
(Accessory)
Storing pictures on an accessory SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We strongly recommend purchasing an SD
or SDHC Card to conveniently store more pictures/videos.
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.
IMPORTANT:
When you turn on the camera, it checks to see if a card is inserted. If so,
new pictures/videos are stored on the card. If no card is inserted, new
pictures/videos are stored in the camera’s 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).
