LCD Panel  
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that  
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number  
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics  
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.  
Take a few test shots  
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is  
recording correctly.

Other Charging Precautions  
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s  
battery (NP-80) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the  
battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-80L). Never use any other  
type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in  
unexpected accident.  
• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards.  
Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause  
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.  
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.  
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port  
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.  
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery  
time to cool before charging it.  
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of  
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to  
use it.  
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.  
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or  
radio.  
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.  
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.

Recording is not possible when is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.  
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the  
REC mode and PLAY mode.  
• Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is  
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to  
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera  
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page  
100).  
• See page 130 for information about battery life and number of shots.  
Battery Power Conservation Tips  
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting  
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting  
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 101, 102).

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the  
Camera  
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the  
display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly  
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.  
IMPORTANT!  
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if  
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display  
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the  
Display Language (Language)” (page 101). Note that a version of this manual in  
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the  
Japanese market.  
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language  
selection.  
1. Hold down [ON/OFF] (Power) until the  
[ON/OFF] (Power)  
back lamp lights green momentarily.  
2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select  
the language you want and then press  
[SET].  
[0] (Movie)  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style  
and then press [SET].  
Example: July, 10, 2015  
YY/MM/DD * 15/7/10  
DD/MM/YY * 10/7/15  
MM/DD/YY * 7/10/15  
4. Set the date and the time.  
Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to  
change and then use [8] and [2] to change it.  
To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press  
[0] (Movie).  
5. After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6]  
to select “Apply” and then press [SET].  
6. Use [8] and [2] to select “Auto” or “Premium Auto” as the auto  
recording mode and then press [SET].  
• See page 24 for information about the auto recording modes.

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the  
above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct  
the settings.  
– Display language: Page 101  
NOTE  
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they  
are subject to change.  
• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date  
settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults.  
Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.  
Preparing a Memory Card  
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and  
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for  
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded  
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card  
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.  
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 126.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– SD Memory Card  
– SDHC Memory Card  
– SDXC Memory Card  
Use one of the above types of memory card.  
• The above are supported memory card types as of November 2012.  
• This camera supports use of SD memory cards of the following types and  
capacities: SD memory cards up to 2GB, SDHC memory cards from 2GB up to  
32GB, SDXC memory cards from 32GB up to 2TB. Note that the ability to use any  
particular card with this camera, even if it satisfies the above capacity and type  
requirements, is not guaranteed.  
• This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards and FlashAir cards.

To load a memory card  
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off  
the camera and then open the  
battery cover.  
2. Load a memory card.  
Positioning the memory card so its front  
is facing upwards (towards the monitor  
screen side of the camera), slide it into  
the card slot all the way in until you hear  
it click securely into place.  
Front

Back  
3. Close the battery cover.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 19) into the memory  
card slot.  
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off  
the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center.

To replace the memory card  
Press the memory card and then release it. This  
will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot  
slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and  
then insert another one.  
• Never remove a card from the camera while  
the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can  
cause the image save operation to fail and  
even damage the memory card.  
To format (initialize) a new memory card  
Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete  
its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if  
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format  
the card.  
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a card on a  
computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down  
processing time and cause compatibility, performance, and other problems.  
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi  
Center install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.  
• Formatting a FlashAir card with the camera will delete files on the card that are  
required for communication. For details about formatting, see the instructions that  
come with the FlashAir card.  
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the camera and then press [SET].  
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the second Control Panel option from the  
bottom (MENU) and then press [SET] (page 31).  
3. Use [4] and [6] to select the “Set Up” tab.  
4. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [6].  
5. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].

. If the image does not focus...  
If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the  
image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.). Re-point the camera at  
the subject and try to focus again.  
. Shooting with Auto  
If the subject is not in the center of the frame...  
“Focus lock” (page 54) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to  
shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in  
the center of the screen.  
To track the movement of a moving subject  
Half-press the shutter button to follow and focus automatically on a moving subject.  
See “O Tracking” (page 56) for more information.  
. Shooting with Premium Auto  
• In addition to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity, the camera  
automatically executes the following operation as required when shooting with  
Premium Auto.  
– Auto Focus is normally performed until you half-press the shutter button.  
– The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses  
there.  
– Make-up (page 38)  
Under the initial default camera setup when you purchase it, selecting Premium  
Auto as the auto recording mode (page 24) turns on the Make-up function.  
• Shooting with Premium Auto can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens  
operation. This does not indicate malfunction.  
• When Shooting with Premium Auto, the message “Processing Premium Auto.” may  
appear on the monitor screen. If you feel the camera is taking too long to process  
data, try shooting with standard Auto instead.  
• In some cases, Premium Auto may not be able to interpret the shooting  
environment correctly. If this happens, shoot with standard Auto.

Snapshot Shooting Precautions  
Operation  
• Never open the battery cover while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can  
result in the image you just shot being saved incorrectly, damage to other images  
stored in memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.  
• If unwanted light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand  
when shooting an image.  
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots  
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can  
cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.  
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual  
image will be recorded at the quality set for the image quality setting (page 62).  
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting  
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an  
image.  
. Auto Focus Restrictions  
• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible.  
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject  
– Strongly back lit subject  
– Very shiny subject  
– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern  
– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera  
– Subject in a dark location  
– Camera movement while shooting  
– Fast-moving subject  
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera  
• If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 54) or Manual Focus (page  
53).

Changing the Image Size (Size)  
. Pixels and image size  
A digital camera image is a collection of small  
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are  
in an image, the more detail there will be.  
However, you generally can do with fewer  
pixels when printing an image (L size) through  
a print service, attaching an image to e-mail,  
when viewing the image on a computer, etc.  
The size of an image indicates how many  
pixels it contains, and is expressed as  
Pixel  
x
horizontal pixels vertical pixels.  
Example:  
Image size  
10M  
pixels  
x
3648 2736 (Approximately 10 million pixels)  
x
2048 1536 (Approximately 3 million pixels)  
3M  
• Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.  
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be  
stored, see page 126.  
• For information about movie image size, see page 34.  
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 74.

IMPORTANT!  
• Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing  
some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil  
from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can  
become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular  
habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.  
NOTE  
• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.  
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too  
close.  
• Flash charging time (page 129) depends on operating conditions (battery  
condition, ambient temperature, etc.).  
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,  
which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,  
secure the camera with a tripod, etc.  
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with  
exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.  
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source  
can cause abnormal image colors.  
• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash  
photograph is prohibited.  
Red-eye Reduction  
Using the flash to shoot 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. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash  
mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the  
image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.  
Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.  
• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking  
directly at the camera (flash).  
• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from  
the camera.

Shooting with Zoom  
Your camera provides you with 6X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal  
distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally  
processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of  
6X to 95.6X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 41).  
1. In the REC mode, press the zoom button to zoom.

NOTE  
• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the  
camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image  
deterioration (page 41).  
• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera  
movement when shooting with telephoto.  
• Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.  
• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical  
zoom setting before you press the shutter button to start movie recording.  
. Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom Switch Point  
Holding down z (telephoto) will zoom until the maximum optical zoom factor is  
reached. Momentarily releasing the button when it reaches the maximum and then  
pressing it again will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher  
zoom factor.  
• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

2. In the REC mode, point the camera  
Remaining recording time  
at the subject and then press [0]  
[0] (Movie)  
(Movie).  
This will start recording and display Y  
on the monitor screen.  
Movie recording includes monaural  
audio.  
• Immediately after you press [0]  
(Movie), the camera will focus  
automatically on the subject in the  
center of the monitor screen. After  
this, focus is fixed while movie  
recording is in progress.  
Recording time  
3. Press [0] (Movie) again to stop recording.  
• Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically  
after 29 minutes of recording. Movie recording also will stop automatically if  
memory becomes full before you stop movie recording by pressing  
[0] (Movie).  
Shooting with BEST SHOT  
With BEST SHOT (page 46), you can select the sample scene that matches the type  
of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for  
beautiful movies every time. Movie Recording is disabled while certain BEST SHOT  
scenes are being used.

NOTE  
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become  
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.  
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points when  
shooting a movie.  
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers,  
etc.  
– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is  
too far away from what you are trying to record.  
Microphone  
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button  
noise to be picked up in the audio.  
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the  
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.  
• Using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow  
down processing speed. Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type  
memory card. Note, however, that not all operations can be guaranteed even if an  
Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain movie quality settings can  
result in too much time being required to record data, which can result in breaks in  
the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens, the » and Y will flash  
on the monitor screen.  
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical  
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing  
[0] (Movie) to start recording.  
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you  
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is  
recommended under these conditions.  
• Focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress.

Using BEST SHOT  
BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of  
different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the  
camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the  
camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined  
images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

. BEST SHOT Precautions  
• Some BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie.  
• “For YouTube” scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot.  
• The “Voice Recording” scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or  
recording a movie.  
• Some scenes like “Night Scene” and “Fireworks” results in a slow shutter speed  
setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the  
image, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when  
either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the  
image to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not  
perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to  
avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.  
• The BEST SHOT YouTube scene sets up the camera for recording movies that are  
optimized for uploading to YouTube. Movies recorded with the YouTube scene are  
stored in a special folder to make them easy to locate for uploading (page 95).  
• Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site  
images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For  
eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are  
stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 95).  
• High Sensitivity  
– The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.  
– High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.  
– When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring  
due to camera movement.  
– Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise  
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the  
camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next  
shot.  
• BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.  
• Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected  
due to shooting conditions and other factors.  
• You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT  
scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when  
you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

Recording a Self-portrait  
With this feature, you can shoot your own self-portrait simply by pointing the camera  
at your face.  
BEST SHOT has two self-portrait scenes from which to choose.  
• Self-portrait (1 person): Shoots when the face of at least one person, including  
you, is detected.  
• Self-portrait (2 people): Shoots when the faces of at least two people, including  
you, are detected.  
1. On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select “Self-portrait (1 person)” or  
“Self-portrait (2 people)”.  
2. Press the shutter button all the way down, and point  
the camera at yourself.  
About three seconds after you press the shutter button, the  
camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and start face  
detection. After the camera detects the specified number of  
faces, focuses, and adjusts the exposure to the proper  
level, it will beep twice and then release the shutter  
automatically.  
• The camera will emit a shutter sound and the front lamp will flash twice when  
the shutter is released.  
• To cancel Auto Shutter standby, press [SET].  
IMPORTANT!  
• If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you  
can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.  
• Shooting with the self-portrait feature may produce a blurred image when shooting  
in areas where lighting is dim, which results in a very slow shutter speed setting.  
• The Auto Power Off (page 102) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the  
camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 101) is disabled while Auto Shutter  
is being used.

To focus with manual focus  
1. On the monitor screen, compose the image so  
the subject you want to focus on is within the  
yellow boundary.  
2. Watching the image on the monitor screen use  
[4] and [6] to adjust focus.  
• At this time the image that is within the boundary  
will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids  
in focusing. If you do not perform any operation for  
two seconds while the enlarged image is displayed,  
the screen in step 1 will re-appear.  
Yellow boundary  
NOTE  
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and  
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.  
• Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only.  
• The focus mode cannot be changed while the “Miniature” or “Fisheye” BEST SHOT  
scene is selected.  
• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to  
become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.  
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus,  
Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell  
you the focus range, as shown below.  
Example: oo* cm - 9  
* oo is the actual focusing range value.  
• The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page  
60) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.  
Using Focus Lock  
Subject to  
be focused on  
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want  
to compose an image in which the subject you want to  
focus on is not within the focus frame in the center of the

Printing  
Printing Snapshots  
Professional Print Service*  
You can take a memory card that contains the images you want  
to print to a professional print service and have them printed.  
Printing on a Home Printer*  
You can use a printer equipped with a memory card slot to print  
images directly from a memory card. For details, see the user  
documentation that comes with your printer.  
Printing with a Computer  
After transferring the images to your computer, use  
commercially available software to print.  
* You can specify which images you want to print, the number of copies, and date  
stamp settings before printing (page 80).  
Using DPOF to Specify Images to be Printed and the Number  
of Copies  
. Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)  
DPOF is a standard that allows you to include image type, number of copy,  
and time stamp on/off information on the memory card with the images.  
After configuring settings, you can use the memory card to print on a home  
printer that supports DPOF or take the memory card to a professional print  
service.  
• Whether or not you will be able to use DPOF settings for printing depends on the  
printer you are using.  
• Some professional print services may not support DPOF.

number of copies of all images.  
Tell your print service about your DPOF settings!  
If you take a memory card to a professional print service, be sure to tell them that it  
includes DPOF settings for the images to be printed and the number of copies. If you  
don’t, the print service may print all the images without regard to your DPOF settings,  
or they may ignore your date stamp setting.

. Date Stamping  
You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the  
printout of an image.  
Configuring camera settings  
Configure DPOF settings (page 80).  
You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure  
settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.  
Configure the Camera’s Time Stamp setting (page 100).  
• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you  
shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.  
• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date  
stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two  
stamps to be overprinted.  
Configuring computer settings  
You can use commercially available image management software to date  
stamp images.  
Professional print service  
Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.  
. Standards Supported by the Camera  
• Exif Print  
Printing on a printer that supports Exif Print uses information  
about shooting conditions recorded with the image to enhance  
printed image quality. Contact your printer manufacturer for  
information about models that support Exif Print, printer upgrades, etc.

Viewing and Storing Images on a Computer  
You can connect the camera to your computer in order to view and store images  
(snapshot and movie files).  
Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files  
that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.  
Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which  
will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter  
remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or  
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing  
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.  
NOTE  
• You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially  
available card reader to access image files directly from the camera’s memory  
card. For details, see the user documentation that comes with your computer.  
. To connect the camera to your computer and save files  
1. Turn off the camera and  
USB port  
then use the USB cable  
that comes with the  
camera to connect it to  
your computer.  
• For details about connecting  
to the camera and  
precautions when

. Supported Image Files  
• Image files shot with this camera  
• DCF-compliant image files  
This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When  
displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the  
image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.  
. Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions  
• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM  
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM copies of  
the DCIM folders is to change its name to a date or something similar after you  
copy it to your computer. If you later decided to return the folder to the camera,  
however, be sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to  
recognize only a root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be  
able to recognize the folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names  
they originally had when you copied them from the camera to your computer.  
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”  
shown on page 95 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

Precautions During Use  
. Data Error Precautions  
Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the  
following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.  
– Removing the battery or memory card while the camera is performing some  
operation  
– Removing the battery or memory card while the back lamp is flashing green after  
turning off the camera  
– Disconnecting the USB cable while communication is in progress  
– Shooting with a battery that quickly goes low right after it is charged  
• Shooting with a battery that quickly goes low right after it is charged can also  
cause camera malfunction. Replace the battery with a new one immediately.  
– Other abnormal operations  
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor  
screen (page 124). Perform the action indicated by the message that appears.  
. Operating Environment  
• Operating Temperature Requirements: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)  
• Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation)  
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.  
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture, dust, or sand  
– Near heating or cooling devices, or in other areas subjected to extreme changes  
in temperature or humidity  
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area subjected to strong vibration  
. Condensation  
Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the camera is moved from  
the outdoors on a cold winter day into a warm room, can cause water droplets called  
“condensation” to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera, which creates  
the risk of malfunction. To prevent condensation from forming seal the camera in a  
plastic bag before changing locations. Then leave the bag sealed to allow the air  
inside to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location.  
After that, remove the camera from the bag and open the battery cover for a few  
hours.

. Lens  
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can  
scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.  
• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a  
slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the characteristics of  
lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.  
. Caring for your camera  
• Never touch the lens or flash window with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and  
other foreign matter on the lens or flash window can interfere with proper operation  
of the camera. Use a blower or other means to keep the lens and flash window free  
of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.  
• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
. Old Rechargeable Battery Handling Precautions  
• Insulate the positive and negative terminals with tape, etc.  
• Do not peel the covering off of the battery.  
• Do not try to take the battery apart.  
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the  
Camera  
The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the  
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the  
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended  
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to  
another party.  
• When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or use  
commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the  
memory card.  
• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially  
available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.  
• Use the format function (page 104) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.  
. Other Precautions  
The camera becomes slightly warm during use. This is normal and does not indicate  
malfunction.

Power Supply  
Charging  
. If the camera’s back lamp starts flashing red...  
• Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery may be either too high or  
too low. Disconnect the USB cable and wait until temperature is within the  
allowable charging range before trying again.  
• Battery contacts may be dirty. Wipe them with a dry cloth.  
• Try connecting to a different computer USB port. Depending on the setup of your  
computer, you may not be able to charge the camera’s battery over a USB  
connection.  
If problems continue to occur after you perform the above steps, it could mean that  
the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.  
Battery Precautions  
. Precautions during Use  
• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation  
under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the  
camera.  
• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 10°C to  
35°C (50°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than  
normal or even fail.  
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.  
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably  
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a  
new one.  
. Storage Precautions  
• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of  
battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use  
up its charge before storing it.  
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left  
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge  
when you need to use the camera.  
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).  
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in  
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

Using the Camera in another Country  
. Precautions during Use  
• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in  
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the  
power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the  
camera and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the  
power supply requirements in your destination(s).  
• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter  
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.  
. Extra Batteries  
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-80) is recommended while on a trip  
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.  
Using a Memory Card  
See page 19 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a  
memory card.  
. Using a Memory Card  
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC  
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the  
switch when you need to guard against accidentally  
deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD  
memory card you must then turn write protection off  
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete  
any of its images.  
Write enabled  
Write disabled  
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can  
restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 104). However, it is  
recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using  
the camera far away from the home or office.  
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it  
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory  
card is recommended.  
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to  
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data  
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).

. Memory Card Handling Precautions  
• Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever  
possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all  
operations can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is  
used. Certain movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to  
record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback.

(page 53).  
4)You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting  
with Anti Shake or use a tripod.  
5)You may be pressing the shutter button all the way without  
waiting for Auto Focus. Half-press the shutter button and  
allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.

Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to  
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD  
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate  
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not  
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is  
recorded in the case of a movie.  
There is digital  
noise in images.

subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a  
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.  
?
2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with  
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and  
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page  
35) or use lights for illumination.  
3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the  
Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a  
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
