Inserting Memory Cards

Image, sound, and movie files are stored in the camera's internal memory
(approximately 45 MB) or on removable Secure Digital (SD) memory cards
(available commercially; A 160).
If a memory card is inserted in the camera, data are automatically stored on
the memory card and data recorded to the memory card can be played back,
deleted or transferred. Remove the memory card to store data in the internal
memory, or play back, delete or transfer data from the internal memory.
