SD card
Camera's memory chip
An SD card is a small, flat memory card used to store digital data in cameras, phones, and other portable devices.
The initials stand for Secure Digital, referring to the card's built-in encryption capabilities.
SD cards come in various capacities and sizes, including the smaller microSD format common in smartphones: I need a bigger SD card for my camera.
