Using an accessory SD/SDHC Card

Your camera has internal memory. We recommend purchasing an SD or

SDHC Card (Class 4 or higher) to store more pictures/videos. You must

use a Class 4 or higher card to record HD video.

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 you turn on the camera, it 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.
