SD Card

I've installed an external SD card and have been able to copy files to it that the phone recognizes. But is seems to me that all new pictures, video, ect, are going to the internal SD card. Is there some way to get this data on the external card, or is this something the phone manages?
 
When I connect mine to a USB I choose the media option, and when I open my computer, there is a file for my internal and external memory. So I just drag and drop all my wallpapers, etc in the external memory file. No problems.
 
I'm talking about stuff that's actually produced on the phone, like when I take a picture or video. Will it eventually start using the external SD when the internal is full, or do I need to copy it manually?
