In your camera settings there is an option where to save pictures and videos. The settings is called Data Storage and allows you to pick internal storage or SD card.
Now will that set the settings to save all pics videos to sd. The only other way is by computer or root. And I dont want to root yet till we get custom roms or are able to unroot The ion l. Cause Tue probpem im hqving is if someone sends me a photoe or video it wants to send it to internal and not give me an option for sd card.

No that setting will only store photos or videos you take to where ever you set it to. I don't think there is a way currently to have any pictures or videos sent to you to store on the SD card.
I was just wondering about sd card storage. The sd is actually "ext_card" right? I tried changing the xda app's download path to: "mnt/ext_card/xda_ download" but it still saves to "mnt/sdcard/xda_ download".
Would xda need to be running from the sd card to save to it?

You can use ES File Explorer to move them on your device.

To change your default storage for your pictures you need to go into the settings portion of your camera app and change from phone to memory card.

[Q] Best shot / Burst shot -- Store photos in external SD card?

Is there a way to save shots from Best Shot / Burst Shot onto the external SD card? I find it annoying having to transfer the photos from internal to external...
Thanks in advance.
I'm also looking for something like this
That is because generally the memory cards are less. So you can't write it so quickly to them.
A normal user can't determine whether his card is good enough or not. So samsung decided to leave it out.

I'm not asking why this is happening. I'm asking if there's a way around it.
Use Directory bind
Then bind DCIM folder. Then you need not to select ext sd card for single shot too. Whatever you will capture, it will save to ext sd, though camera understand it is in internal memory.

have you tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796 ?
this will "swap" your internal to external mSDC. always nandroid your data before trying this mod.
Or you could create a folder called Whatsapp Pictures in your SD Card and transfer all your photos to that folder

Storing photos to external storage

So i have tmobile samsung note 2 I recently updated to 4.3 and have a few questions.
When it was running 4.1.2 I was able to set the camera storage to external, after the update it automatically reverts back to
Internal storage. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Also in gallery when I try to move the photos to external it says "it cannot move because it exist already" even though does not. Help?
Thanks all

Anyone?
I believe there is a xposed mod, although I don't use them, that allows you to save to the sd. Also the Lenovo super camera allows
