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

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)
