Really easy. Get atleast a 60 MB SD card and make certain you format it first in the cam

 

[godamgo]

what do you mean "format it first in the cam"?

read the instructions on the pdf. you need to format the sd card using the camera. insert the card. turn the cam on, go into mcr mode. menu>operation>format>sd card. then stick it in your computer and copy the necesary file onto it.
