Saving Pictures To Your Blackberry's Memory Card By Default

Using the camera on your Blackberry is fun and useful both as a business tool and for personal stuff, but the pictures can eat up memory quickly on the device, particularly some models with less internal memory like the Pearl. The answer to this is to have a memory card inserted and to set your options so that your pictures save to your memory card automatically, but people often look in the wrong menu to try to do this. I got this question from a follower on Twitter the other day (I am @petersonwally if you want to follow me, btw), and they were doing what a lot of folks try to accomplish this, which is Media>Pictures>Menu>Options. This makes sense logically, but it is not where the option is found. The correct place to do this is Camera>Menu>Options, scroll down to Store Pictures: and choose On Media Card instead of In Device Memory. This will send pictures to the card every time you save one, freeing up your device memory so that your Berry can run smoother.
