That camera appears to need a bit of firmware rework. "Internal Storage
Full" appears to be a mighty strange error message for a card that's
inserted wrong end first and that can't possibly have any of its
electrical contacts engaged. I wonder what the message is with no card
inserted and if it can somehow tell the difference?
