Converter Lenses
For truly sweeping views, powerful telephoto effects, or extreme
close-ups, Canon’s family of converter lenses greatly extend the
versatility of your PowerShot G2. The
Wide Converter WC-DC58*
provides a focal conversion ratio of 0.8x, equivalent to a 28mm
lens on a 35mm camera. The
Tele Converter TC-DC58*
has a
1.5x conversion factor, extending the tele-
photo power of the camera to the
equivalent of 150mm. And the
58mm Close-up Lens 250D*
allows you to focus on a
subject as close as 4.7
inches from the camera.
* All conversion lenses require Conversion
Lens Adapter LA-DC58.
Wireless Controller
Want a great self-portrait? Turn the LCD
monitor to the front of the camera, set
the self-timer and use the wireless
controller to zoom in or out.
Storage Media
The PowerShot G2 stores images on
CompactFlash
™
(CF) memory card Type
I or II
in either CCD RAW Mode or in Normal,
Fine or SuperFine JPEG compression
modes. Greater image storage capacity is
available with the use of an
IBM

340MB
or 1 GB Microdrive
™
.
Computer Connections
Connect directly to either Windows or Macintosh computers
with the supplied
USB cable
. Macintosh OS 9 users can take
advantage of the
USB mounter
which allows the system to
treat the camera as a card reader and download images directly
into the Mac. The USB WIA driver offers similar capabilities for
Window ME users.
Canon designed the PowerShot G2 to be the heart of a complete
photographic system. These are some of the other system
components that are available to you.
