In addition to the internal built-in memory*, your

camera can store data on a Secure Digital (SD) card

or a MultiMedia card (MMC). To insert a memory card,

gently push the card as indicated until the card reaches

the bottom of the slot. When the card is successfully

inserted, a icon will appear on the LCD. To remove

the memory card, gently push the card and it will pop

up. Then pull the card out of the slot.

* Built-in memory:

1) About the type of memory built in your camera, please refer to the package printing.

2) If your camera comes with built-in SDRAM instead of ash memory, you are

recommended to always use a memory card to store your recordings. The camera using

only built-in SDRAM can save just one recording (picture or video) in it. If you take

a new picture or video, the new recording will replace the old one. Moreover, the le

stored in SDRAM will be gone when the batteries run out of power or are being replaced.

Therefore you should always copy the le to your PC prior to taking out the batteries.

The SD card comes with a write-protect switch. When the

write-protect switch is set to the “Lock” position, the card

will become non-writable. To ensure that the camera can

operate normally, you should set the write-protect switch

to the “Unlock” position before inserting the SD card.

If you purchase a new memory card, you are

recommended to format the card with the camera before storing data into the card.

Do not remove the SD/MMC card while the camera is processing data.

When a SD/MMC card is inserted, the camera will use the card as the main storage

medium. Files stored in the built-in memory will become inaccessible until the SD/MMC

card is removed.
