The Vivicam 3632 has 16 MB resident (internal) flash memory.  Of this, 14 MB is available to store  
your images and movie clips. You may wish to purchase a Secure Digital (SD) or Multi-Media Card 
(MMC) memory card to extend the image storage capacity of your camera. Note that when an SD or  
MMC card is used with the Vivicam 3632, the camera will automatically use the memory card in  
preference to the internal memory.
