So, here goes. More of a cosmetic How To but, hopefully, this will forge an even stronger relationship with your G9. This is a lot easier than most of you may think it to be. In order to choose a theme not already loaded onto your G9, you will need to install the software for the G9 found on the CD that is included with your camera. In addition to the software, hopefully, you still know the whereabouts of your mini USB cable (also included with the G9) On the right side of your G9 is the Terminal Cover that lifts up and out. The Terminal Cover conceals and protects the mini USB port and the AV/Out port. You can tell the mini USB port apart from the AV/Out port by its oblong rectangular shape. The software included with your G9 contains an application called My Camera DC. My Camera DC is used to customize your G9 to whatever you please. When you become more familiar with this customization feather, you can even upload custom made .wav files in addition to custom .jpg files to create your own themes. For now, I will go over how simple it is to customize the pre-loaded themes on your G9.

Again, please make sure to install the software that was came with your G9 on the included CD before continuing. And now, How To: Pimp My G9.

1. Open the Terminal Cover (located on the upper right side of your G9)
2. Locate the mini USB port (oblong rectangular shaped port)
3. Attach the smaller end of the provided USB cable to your G9 and the larger end of the UBS cable to a USB port on your computer
4. Turn On G9
5. Locate the My Camera DC application and launch.
6. You can scroll through the Themes to preview the Sounds and the Image that is associated with this Theme.
7. Once you find a Theme that you like, click the top arrow located between Computer and Camera columns. You will be prompted to Overwrite, click OK.
8. Once you’ve selected OK to Overwrite, click Save to Camera. This next step may seem a bit redundant and I agree but, these are the necessary steps to Pimp your G9.
9. After you’ve clicked OK to Writing settings to camera, you are through with the My Camera DC application and can now Exit.
10. Turn Off your G9 before disconnecting the USB cable (not super crucial but, a good practice nonetheless). It is now safe to disconnect the USB cable from both your G9 and your computer.
11. Close the Terminal Cover to its original position - protecting and concealing the mini USB port and AV/Out port.
12. Turn on your G9 and select Menu by pressing the Menu button (located to the bottom left of the LCD screen.
13. Scroll to the right until you highlight the last tab (the icon is a man figure to the left of a camera)
14. You should see Theme as the first item listed. Scroll down to highlight Theme.
15. Scroll to the right until you select your theme denoted by the number 3.
16. Press the Menu button to Exit.
17. Theme set! Congrats!

If you are unable to hear your new Theme, please check to make sure that Mute is not selected to On and that you Volume levels are at audible levels.

As always, feedback is always welcome. Thanks for stopping by. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, what a great opportunity for Macro Photography. I’ll touch upon what Macro Photography is and how to utilize the Macro feature of the G9.
