Inserting and Removing an SD or MMC Memory Card

The ViviCam 3345 accepts a Secure Digital (SD) or a MultiMedia Card (MMC) memory card up to 256MB capacity. The memory card takes priority over the internal memory. Whenever a memory card is inserted the camera will immediately use the memory card in preference to the internal memory. Therefore, when a memory card is inserted, the camera will store images and videos on the memory card. Likewise, the camera will playback images and videos that are stored on the memory card only. To access internal memory remove the memory card.

Inserting a Memory Card

Insert an SD or MMC card into the memory card slot located on the side of the camera, and gently press down with your finger.

Removing a Memory Card

Gently press down on the memory card and it will partially eject. Pull the card out with your fingers.

Note: To use the internal memory (8MB), please remove the memory card first.
