I'm running WM6.

I can't seem to find the setting for it...when I go to the camera and try the Capture Settings->Storage setting it only lists "Main Memory" and "Network".

If you have the hermes set to show the network then it will not offer the storage card as an option. Just disable network view and storage card will appear in the camera application.

Copied from an earlier post of mine:

Now unfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:

If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.

BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:

be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or File Commander to do this - forget now if regular File Explorer does it)

Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of application.

The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.

Seems kind of silly, what do you think the reasoning behind that setup is?

Probably along the lines of "2 choices ought to be enough for anybody!"

And that's one too many for some of us:D
