FAQ

SD Cards & Batteries (external link, opens in new window)

Some equipment requires SD cards and/or disposable batteries (AA, AAA or 9V battery types). The EDC does not supply SD cards, patrons must supply their own.

Some of our more advanced cameras come with XQD cards or other types of media.
