An event is a flexible storage container that can be as all-encompassing or as granularly compartmentalized as your raw media and projects.

Question 15

SD card

Answer 15

Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format for use in portable devices, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, GPS navigation devices, and tablet computers.

The Secure Digital format includes four card families available in three different form factors. - Standard-Capacity (SDSC)
- High-Capacity (SDHC)
- eXtended-Capacity (SDXC)
- SDIO, which combines input/output functions with data storage
The three form factors are:
- the original size
- the "mini" size
- the "micro" size.
