A system and method for communicating an image to a removable media device includes communicating the image from an image capture device to the removable media device over a wireless connection. The communicated image is stored in memory on the removable media device, and the stored image is deciphered. The deciphered image is recorded on removable media, the recorded image capable of being accessed on removable media device. In an additional aspect of the present invention, a method for communicating and formatting an image from an image capture device includes initiating a connection between an image capture device and an image storage device and querying the image storage device for a supported format.
