Storing pictures on an optional SD or SDHC Card
Your camera has internal memory. We strongly recommend purchasing an SD
or SDHC Card to conveniently store more pictures/videos.
CAUTION:
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
pictures, the card, or the camera.
IMPORTANT:
When turned on, the camera checks to see if a card is inserted. If so, new
pictures/videos are stored on the card. If no card is inserted, new pictures/videos are stored
in the camera’s internal memory.
If pictures/videos are detected in internal memory and a card is inserted, the camera
prompts you to move the pictures to the card (and erase those in internal memory).
