What kind of memory card should I use?

How do I transfer photos and videos to my computer?
You can transfer files by connecting the camera directly to your computer using a USB cable (usually included or sold separately), or by removing the memory card and inserting it into a compatible card reader.
Is the flash automatic?

Troubleshooting
Camera won't turn on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the battery compartment. If the issue persists, try charging the battery again or check if the battery contacts are clean.
Photos appear blurry or out of focus.
Hold the camera steady when taking pictures, especially in low light. Ensure there is enough light for the camera to focus properly. Half-press the shutter button to allow the camera to focus before fully pressing to capture the shot.
Video recording stops unexpectedly.
Check if the memory card has sufficient free space. HD video files consume significant memory. Ensure your memory card's speed class is adequate for video recording (> Info needed: recommended memory card speed class).
Battery drains quickly.
Reduce screen brightness, limit excessive use of zoom and flash, and turn off the camera when not in use. Ensure the battery is properly conditioned by fully charging it before its first use.
