For external power, a 5V power bank can be used via the supplied USB cable. The USB cable can also charge rechargeable AA batteries within the device.
Inserting Memory Card:
A Micro SD card (C10 recommended) is required for saving pictures and videos. The card slot cover needs to be opened, and the card inserted chip-side up. Formatting the Micro SD card is recommended to improve battery life and shutter speed. To remove the card, press its edge until it pops out.
