We're not chatting human memory here - although that type of memory is important too. We are chatting digicam memory. Electronic camera memory is where your image data or stills are stockpiled in your digital camera.
The majority of the newer digital cameras have quite small amounts of "built-in" memory. Almost all digicams depend on media or memory sticks for storage. A memory card is like re-useable film. Fill it with your pictures, download the photographs, and then fill the card repeatedly. Media cards don't wear out simply.
To use a digital memory card, put it into the equivalent slot on your digital camera. When you snap, the machine saves the picture data to the memory card. If you memory storage device has reached max capacity, it must be backed up to your PC's drive. There are a few techniques to try this. One way is to insert the card into the correspondent slot on the computer. Software does the rest. An alternate way is to connect the camera to the computer using USB or Firewire technology. The newest methodology is wireless or Wi-Fi technology-no removing the card from the camera or hooking up cables. At about that point in time, only the most recent camera models use Wi-Fi.
There are several types of media cards available. Your camera will determine which type you must use. Compact Flash, SmartMedia, SecureDigital, Multi-media, Memory Stick and xD Picture cards are the most common. Media cards are available with capacities ranging up to 2 gigabytes (GB).
When your images are transferred to you computer's hard drive, don't forget to back up your photographs to another storage gadget. As trustworthy as hard drives are, screw ups do happen. A second internal drive, an external drive, a Zip disk, a CD or DVD is common back up devices. Sites are available to store back up images for a small charge.
