7.2.1 Stand-by Mode

After a period of 60 seconds inactivity, the G2 will switch to Stand-by Mode automatically and the LCD will go blank. All

images taken will not be lost as they are stored in the G2’s memory. This is a preferable way of switching your G2 off.

Waiting for the 60 seconds ensures all image processing has been completed correctly before switching off.

7.2.2 Low Battery

When your G2 has full power, the Battery indicator on the LCD display will be fully shown. When power is low, the icon will

ash. This indicates that the batteries are weak and need to be replaced.

Full Battery Power

Low Battery Power

Important Notes:

Do not remove battteries from the battery compartment when G2 is switched on.

7.2.3 SmartMedia™ Card Isolation Button

The SmartMedia™ Card Isolation Button powers down the G2 when the SmartMedia™ Card cover is opened. This is designed

to protect your G2 and SmartMedia™ card’s internal memory during insertion of your SmartMedia™ card or you can insert

another SmartMedia™ card for storage images.

Important Notes:

• Do not leave the SmartMedia™ card cover open and make sure it is closed properly otherwise G2 cannot be switched on.

• Your G2 will go to Standby Mode during insertion of your SmartMedia™ card and images taken will not be lost.

7.3 SmartMedia™ Card

Your G2 already comes with 8MB internal memory for storing images. If this is not enough memory for you, you can extend

your G2’s storage capacity up to 64MB by inserting a SmartMedia™ memory card (not included). They are available from all

good computer and camera retailers.

7.3.1 What is a SmartMedia™ Card - a brief explanation

SmartMedia™ memory cards expand your ability to store more images.

SmartMedia™ memory cards can be reused. Simply erase the data that is not needed and the SmartMedia™ card is ready

for reuse.

The SmartMedia™ card can be removed from your G2 without fear of losing the data you have stored, and additional cards

can be then be inserted. This is especially advantageous when you are away from your PC for prolonged periods of time (like

holidays) where you don’t have the facility to upload the images daily to your computer.

When a SmartMedia™ memory card is installed in the slot, the camera uses the SmartMedia™ card for all image le storage.

If images are already in the internal memory, those images will not be visible to the le system while the SmartMedia™ card

is installed. When the SmartMedia™ card is removed, images stored in the internal memory will again become accessible.

Your G2 can use SmartMedia™ Card of 16, 32 and 64MB memory sizes.

Important Notes:

• Before deciding the size of the SmartMedia™ memory card you may want to purchase, it is

advisable to understand the memory capacity of each size of SmartMedia™ card and how that

equates to the number of images each SmartMedia™ card can hold.

• Your G2 can use SmartMedia Card of 16, 32 and 64 MB memory sizes.

• Images stored on your SmartMedia™ card are an approximate calculation. Depending on the

content of the image may vary the image le size.

7.3.2 Volatile & Non-Volatile Memory

Your G2 comes xed with 8MB SDRam of memory (see notes below on volatile memory).

Notes:

5.5MB for image le storage only.

If your G2 has a SmartMedia™ card installed (see notes below on non-volatile memory).

Volatile Memory

Volatile memory means that the memory will be lost from your G2 if the battery runs too low, dead or if the battery is

removed. In the event that the batteries become low we recommend that you immediately upload your images to your My

Digital Camera via the USB cable (with your G2 turned on) (Also see 7.2.2).

Non-Volatile Memory

Your G2 may have a SmartMedia™ card installed. SmartMedia™ Card is a non-volatile memory which means the memory

can only be erased when following the le deletion instructions.

7.3.3 Using a SmartMedia Card (not supplied)

Notes:

Remember to switch off your G2 before inserting or ejecting a SmartMedia™ Card.

After you insert/eject a SmartMedia™ Card, ensure the card slot is closed properly. Otherwise, your G2 cannot be switched on. The card will

only enter the G2 one way.

To Insert a SmartMedia™ Memory Card:

1. Open the card slot located at the side of your G2. (Diagram A)

2. Push the memory card all the way into the card slot. (Diagram B & C) The card is designed only to t in the G2 one

way.

3. Close the card slot cover. (Diagram C) Ensuring the card cover is pushed rmly closed.

To Eject a SmartMedia™ Memory Card:

To remove the SmartMedia™ memory card, lift up the card slot cover and push the Eject Button to eject the SmartMedia™

card and then pull it out carefully. (Diagram D)

Once your G2’s memory or the inserted SmartMedia™ Card is full, upload the images to your computer and then you can

erase the images and take more images.

8.3 Taking an Image

The G2 allows you to easily take digital image shots. This section shows you how to take images with your G2.

Images stored on your SMC card or the interal memory are an apporoximate calculation depending on the content of the

image which may vary the image le size.

To take digital image shots with your G2, make sure that there is enough battery power or that your G2 is connected to your

computer via the USB cable. If you want to use a SmartMedia™ memory card to store your images, insert the memory card

before you start taking images.
