Inserting the card (SmartMedia)
This reference manual uses the term “card” when referring to SmartMedia.
The card is convenient, for example, when you are traveling and you want to
take a lot of pictures. When the card is inserted, the pictures you have taken
are stored on the card. When no card is inserted, the pictures are stored in
the camera’s internal memory.

and/or edited on a PC.
