Setting up your camera
CAUTION:
1
Turn off the camera.
2
Insert the card.
Inserting an SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has limited internal memory—perfect for a few practice videos/pictures.
We strongly suggest that you purchase an SD or SDHC Card to store more. (Maximum
supported card size is 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.
