Choosing Internal Memory or Picture Card

The KODAK DX3600 Zoom Digital Camera offers two storage options: internal camera memory or optional removable Picture Cards.

Internal Memory—take and store up to 90 seconds of video or 50 pictures at Good Quality (35 seconds of video or 16 pictures at Best Quality) in the camera's 8 MB of internal memory. You always have memory in the camera, even if you don't have a Picture Card with you.

Picture Card —take and store as many pictures and videos as you like, depending on the size and number of cards you have. Videos take more memory space than pictures; consider purchasing a larger size Picture Card for videos.

You can capture pictures or videos on a Picture Card, then copy and save your favorites into internal memory (see Copying Pictures and Videos).

For internal memory and Picture Card storage capacities, see Picture/Video Storage Capacities.

Optional KODAK Picture Cards can be purchased separately on our Web site at

Changing Your Storage Location Setting

Your storage location setting determines where your images are stored when you take them and where the camera looks for them in Review mode.

Use the Image Storage menu, available in all four positions on the Mode dial, to change the setting. See Mode Dial—Settings and Menus for how to access the Mode dial menus.

  1. In any menu screen, highlight the Image Storage menu .

  2. Press the Select button.


  3. Highlight the storage location you wish to use, then press Select.

AUTO (default)—when the setting is Auto, the camera uses the Picture Card if one is in the camera. If no Picture Card is installed, the camera uses internal memory.

INTERNAL MEMORY—when the setting is Internal Memory, the camera always uses internal memory, even if a Picture Card is installed.
  4. Select Continue (or Cancel to change your mind), then press Select again.

A message appears while the camera changes storage locations.

The setting remains in effect until you change it.

NOTE: No matter which mode you use to access the Image Storage menu, the setting applies to all camera functions—saving pictures and videos as you take them, and reviewing and working with the pictures and videos that are stored in the camera.
