Memory Options
Your STC-I550 camera is equipped with 32MB built in flash memory.
The camera is also equipped with an expandable media card slot
capable of accepting up to 2GB SD card (sold separately). With no
memory card inserted into the slot, the camera will use the built in
32MB memory. If an SD card is inserted into the slot then the camera
will bypass the built in memory, and utilize the SD memory for image
storage. The front counter display will show the number of images on
the built in memory unless the expansion card is inserted at which point
the counter will only show the number of images in the expansion card.
Inserting SD card
Make sure camera is in the OFF position whenever adding or
removing memory.
• Insert SD memory card in to the SD card slot completely and in
the correct direction as shown by the sticker located at the side
of the housing.
• To remove the SD memory card, depress the SD card and pull
out the card gently.
