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 file storage.
If images are already in the internal memory, those images will not be visible to the file 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 file size.

7.3.2 Volatile & Non-Volatile Memory
Your
G2
comes fixed with 8MB SDRam of memory (see notes below on volatile memory).
Notes:
5.5MB for image file 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 file deletion instructions.

G2
