Insert the card until it clicks.
Optional
accessory
To remove the card, press and
release it, then pull it out.
Inserting an accessory SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has limited internal memory—perfect for a few practice videos/pictures.
For the best experience, we strongly suggest purchasing a card (SDHC Class 4 or
higher) to store more. (Maximum supported size: 32 GB.)
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
video/pictures, the card, or the camera.
IMPORTANT:
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).
