NOTE FOR THE BUILT-IN MEMORY
The JDC1.3SD camera uses a type of internal memory that continually draws power to retain pictures 
and/or video clips in the camera’s internal memory, even when the camera is powered off. If the batteries 
are dead or removed before turning off the camera for more than 30 seconds, all the pictures and/or 
video clips stored in the internal memory will be lost.
If the camera detects the low battery power, it is strongly recommended, when using the internal memory 
for the storage of images and /or video clips, that you transfer your images and/or video clips to the 
computer promptly.
The JDC1.3SD camera also works with the SD memory card which can store the pictures and /or video 
clips even if the batteries are depleted or removed.
NOTE FOR SETTING DIFFERENT “MODES”
After selecting the desired mode, press Shutter button within 3 seconds to activate the selected mode 
otherwise the camera will go back to default Capture mode.

HOW TO INSERT/REMOVE SD MEMORY CARD
The JDC1.3SD accepts a Secure Digital (SD) memory card up to 512MB capacity. The memory card 
takes priority over the internal memory. Whenever a memory card is inserted the camera will immediately 
use the memory card in preference to the internal memory. Therefore, when a memory card is inserted, 
the camera will store images and videos on the memory card. The images and video clips already stored 
on the internal memory will not be transferred to the memory card.
 
Inserting a Memory Card
Insert an SD card into the memory card slot located on the side of the camera, and gently press down 
with your finger.
Removing a Memory Card
Gently press down on the memory card and it will partially eject. Pull the card out with your fingers.
Note: To use the internal memory (8MB), please remove the memory card first. Memory card is
recommended to avoid loss of images due to dead battery.
