Memory Options
Your STC-V550MTR 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. 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.
