Storing pictures on an SD/SDHC Card

Your camera has enough internal memory for a couple practice 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 learn more, go to

www.eye.fi

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.

.

1 Turn off the camera, then open

the door.

2 Insert 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.
