The Internal Memory And Memory Card - Olympus SP-310 Advanced Manual

The internal memory and memory card

Pictures taken are recorded in the internal memory.
Pictures can also be recorded to an optional xD-Picture Card ("card"). The
card can be used to record more pictures than is possible with the internal
memory of the camera. A card can be convenient when taking many
pictures while on a trip.
(Internal memory basics
The internal memory is the camera's media for recording pictures, similar to film in
a film camera.
Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be easily erased on the camera or
processed using a computer. Unlike portable storage media, the internal memory
cannot be removed or exchanged.
(Using the internal memory or card
You can confirm on the monitor whether the internal memory or card is being used
during shooting and playback operations.
