INTRODUCTION  
• DCF Data Storage  
Features  
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) data storage  
protocol provides image inter-compatibility between the  
digital camera and printers.  
• 1.24 million Effective Pixels  
The 1.24-megapixel CCD (1.34 million total pixels) not only  
provides plenty of resolution for normal image recording, it  
also creates images that are perfectly suited for editing and  
manipulation on a PC. An interpolation process can be  
used to store 1,600 x 1,200-pixel images that are equiva-  
lent to those produced by a 2-megapixel camera.  
• Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)  
Images can be printed easily in the sequence you want  
using a DPOF compatible printer. DPOF can also be used  
when specifying images and quantities for printing by pro-  
fessional print services.  
• Fixed focus lens for quick operation  
Fixed focus eliminates the need for lens movement, which  
shortens startup time and shooting time.  
• PRINT Image Matching II Compatible  
Images include PRINT Image Matching II data (mode set-  
ting and other camera setup information). A printer that  
supports PRINT Image Matching II reads this data and ad-  
justs the printed image accordingly, so your images come  
out just the way you intended when you recorded them.  
• 1.6-inch TFT color LCD monitor screen  
• 4X digital zoom  
• 12MB flash memory  
Images can be recorded without using a memory card.  
• Bundled with Photo Loader and Photohands  
Your camera comes bundled with the latest version of  
Photo Loader, the popular application that automatically  
loads images from your camera to your PC. Photo Loader  
also includes a feature that automatically attaches images  
to e-mail messages. Also included is Photohands, an appli-  
cation that makes image retouching quick and easy.  
• Support for SD memory cards and MMC (MultiMedia  
Cards) for memory expansion  
• Easy Charging  
Just place the camera onto the USB cradle to charge its  
battery.  
• Easy Image Transfer  
Transfer images to a computer simply by placing the cam-  
era onto the USB cradle.

INTRODUCTION  
* EX-M1 Only  
Precautions  
• Snapshot + Audio Mode  
Adds audio to a snapshot.  
General Precautions  
Be sure to observe the following important precautions  
whenever using the EX-S1/EX-M1.  
• Movie + Audio Mode  
• Voice Recording  
Quick and easy recording of voice input.  
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the cam-  
era” refer to the CASIO EX-S1/EX-M1 Digital Camera.  
• After Recording  
Adds audio to images after they are recorded.  
• Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while  
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so cre-  
ates the danger of serious accident.  
• Audio Player Capabilities  
• Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your  
own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the  
risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave mainte-  
nance and repair work up to CASIO authorized service pro-  
viders.  
Use the camera to play back music data from standard  
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) files.  
• Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the  
camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.  
• Keep the connector cover and the other small parts and  
accessories of this camera out of the reach of small chil-  
dren. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician im-  
mediately.  
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a  
motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vi-  
sion and create the danger of accident.

INTRODUCTION  
• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s  
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if  
it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with young chil-  
dren. When using the flash, the camera should be at least  
one meter from the eyes of the subject.  
• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the power  
outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug.  
Dust build up around the prongs can create the danger of  
fire.  
• If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to  
dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,  
immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the  
power outlet, and contact your nearest CASIO authorized  
service provider.  
• Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other  
areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an  
accident.  
• Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can  
cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure  
to always keep backup copies of data by transferring them  
to personal computer memory.  
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and  
never let it get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and  
electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain  
or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.  
• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,  
immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the  
power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service provider. Using the camera under these  
conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock.  
• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming  
out of the camera, immediately turn power off and unplug  
the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Using the camera  
under these conditions creates the danger of fire and elec-  
tric shock. After making sure there is no more smoke com-  
ing from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO autho-  
rized service provider for repair. Never attempt your own  
maintenance.  
• Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor  
from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while re-  
cording images. Doing so will not only make storage of the  
current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image  
data already stored in camera memory.  
• Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device be-  
sides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor be-  
sides the one that comes with this camera.  
• Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other  
cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.

• Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital  
components. Any of the following creates the risk of cor-  
ruption of data in camera memory.  
• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging  
from 0°C to 40°C.  
• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.  
— In areas subject to direct sunlight  
— In areas subject to high humidity or dust  
— Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to  
temperature extremes  
— Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the  
sun  
— In areas subject to strong vibration  
— Removing the battery while image recording or data  
communication is in progress.  
— Removing a memory card while image recording is in  
progress.  
— Removing the battery, removing the memory card, or  
placing the camera onto the USB cradle while the op-  
eration/flash charge lamp is still flashing after you turn  
off the camera.  
— Disconnecting the USB cable, removing the camera  
from the USB cradle, or disconnecting the AC adaptor  
from the USB cradle while a data communication opera-  
tion is being performed.

INTRODUCTION  
Condensation  
LED Backlight  
• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or other-  
wise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is  
the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or  
on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunc-  
tion of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to con-  
ditions that might cause condensation.  
• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into  
a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much  
warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the  
plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to  
reach the same temperature as the new location. If con-  
densation does form, remove the battery from the camera  
and leave the battery cover open for a few hours.  
• The monitor screen is illuminated by an LED backlight. A  
dark monitor screen indicates that the LED backlight has  
reached the end of its service life, and needs to be re-  
placed by a CASIO authorized service provider. Note that  
you will be charged for LED backlight replacement. The  
LED backlight brightness is reduced by half after about  
1,000 hours of use.  
Lens  
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of  
the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause  
malfunction.  
• Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can inter-  
fere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with  
your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens  
surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe  
the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.  
Other  
• The camera may become slightly warm during use. This  
does not indicate malfunction.

Power Requirements  
Your camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion bat-  
tery (NP-20).  
To load the battery  
1. Pressing the battery cover on the side of the  
camera, slide it in the direction indicated by  
the arrow and then swing it open.  
IMPORTANT!  
Use only the special NP-20 rechargeable lithium ion  
battery to power this camera. Use of any other type of  
battery is not supported.

IMPORTANT!  
The CHARGE lamp flashing red indicates that an error  
occurred while charging. An error can be caused by  
any of the following: a problem with the cradle, a prob-  
lem with the camera, or a problem with the battery or  
how it is loaded. Remove the camera from the cradle  
and see if it works normally.  
It takes about two hours to achieve a full charge. Ac-  
tual charging time depends on current battery capac-  
ity and charging conditions.  
Use only the USB cradle to charge the special NP-20  
rechargeable lithium ion battery. Never use any other  
charger device.  
Use only the bundled AC adaptor. Never use any  
other type of AC adaptor. Do not use optionally avail-  
able AD-C620 and AD-C630 AC adaptors with this  
camera.  
The USB cradle can be used for charging or USB data  
communication only.  
NOTE  
USB cradle is designed for operation with any power  
supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC. Note, how-  
ever, that the shape of the AC power cord plug varies  
according to country or geographic area. If you plan to  
use the cradle in another geographic area, you need  
to purchase a commercially available AC power cord  
that is compatible with the power outlets in that area.  
Make sure that the camera connector of the USB  
cradle is securely inserted into the cameras connec-  
tor as far as it will go.  
The CHARGE lamp may remain amber colored and  
the charge operation may not start right away if you try  
to charge immediately after using the camera (which  
causes battery to become warm) or when it is too hot  
or too cold where you are performing the charge op-  
eration. If this happens, simply wait until the battery  
reaches normal temperature. The CHARGE lamp will  
turn red and charging will start when the battery tem-  
perature returns to the allowable charging tempera-  
ture range.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING  
• Depending on the distance or angle between the sub-  
ject and the camera, the image you see in the  
viewfinder may not be exactly the image that is re-  
corded.  
Recording Precautions  
• Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the  
USB cradle while the operation/flash charge lamp is flash-  
ing green. Doing so not only causes the current image to  
be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in camera  
memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.  
• Never remove the memory card while an image is being  
recorded to the memory card.  
• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that  
cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the  
camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience  
some brightness or color problems with recorded images.  
• The camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accor-  
dance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause  
some static noise to appear in images of relatively dark  
subjects.  
• Press the shutter release gently to avoid camera  
movement.  
About the REC Mode Monitor Screen  
• The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC mode  
is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual  
image is recorded in accordance with the image quality  
setting currently selected on your camera. The image  
saved on memory has much better resolution and detail  
than the REC mode monitor screen image.  
• Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the re-  
sponse of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,  
which causes some static noise in the monitor screen im-  
age.  
• For a dimly lit subject, the camera raises the sensitivity and  
uses a faster shutter speed. Because of this, you need to  
guard against camera movement if you have flash turned  
off (page 37) when recording a dimly lit subject.  
• If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens with  
your hand when recording the image.

NOTE  
Flash Precautions  
• Take care that your fingers do not block the flash when you

to configure the camera so the flash mode changes  
whenever you rock the controller left or right while in  
the REC mode.  
About Red-eye Reduction  
Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can  
cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the  
image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects  
off of the retina of the eye. Red-eye reduction fires a pre-  
flash, which causes the irises in the eyes of any people in the  
image to close. This is followed by another flash operation  
when the image is actually recorded.  
Flash  
• The approximate effective range of the flash is shown be-  
low. The flash is unable to adequately illuminate a subject  
that is outside this range.  
1 meter to 2 meters  
• The flash takes anywhere from a few seconds as long as  
10 seconds to attain full charge after being fired. The actual  
time required depends on the battery level, temperature,  
and other conditions.  
IMPORTANT!  
Note the following important points when using red-eye  
reduction.  
• The flash does not fire during movie recording. This is indi-  
• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in  
the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).
