Setting up your camera

Inserting an SD or SDHC Card (optional accessory)

Your camera has limited internal memory???perfect for a few practice videos/pictures. For the best experience, we strongly suggest purchasing a card (SDHC Class 4 or higher) to store more. (Maximum supported size: 32 GB.)

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 video/pictures, the card, or the camera.

1 Turn off the camera.

2 Insert the card until it clicks.

To remove the card, press and release it, then pull it out.

Optional accessory

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. 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).

Appendix

authorized service facility for the country where the Products were purchased. Kodak will repair or replace Products if they fail to function properly during the warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a Product, Kodak will, at its option, refund the purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty. If replacement parts are used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured, or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire Product, it may be replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured Products, parts and materials are warranted for the remaining warranty term of the original Product, or 90 days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.

Limitations

This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak's control. This warranty does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration, modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak's operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this warranty. Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will be the length of the express warranty period specified on your KODAK Product packaging.
