Memory Cards

By default, pictures are stored in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 52 MB). If desired, a removable Secure Digital (SD) memory card can be used for additional storage. Internal memory is used for recording, deletion, and transfer only if no memory card is inserted.

data on the memory card. Before formatting, be sure to make copies of any pictures you wish to keep.
