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.

. To charge using a USB connection to a computer  
The battery loaded in the camera is charged whenever the camera is connected  
directly to a computer with the USB cable.  
• Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the  
camera’s battery over a USB connection. If this happens, use of the USB-AC  
adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.  
1. Turn off the camera.  
Check to make sure that the camera’s monitor  
screen is blank. If it isn’t, press [ON/OFF]  
(Power) to turn off the camera.

IMPORTANT!  
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.  
• A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after  
charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.  
Other Charging Precautions  
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s  
battery (NP-120) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the  
battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-120L). Never use any other  
type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in  
unexpected accident.  
• 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.

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.  
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  
109).  
• See page 140 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 111, 111).

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 110). 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. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the  
[ON/OFF] (Power)  
camera.  
2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select  
SET  
the language you want and then press  
[0] (Movie)  
[SET].  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].  
Example: July, 10, 2012  
YY/MM/DD * 12/7/10  
DD/MM/YY * 10/7/12  
MM/DD/YY * 7/10/12  
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].

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 110  
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 136.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– SD Memory Card  
– SDHC Memory Card  
– SDXC Memory Card  
Use one of the above types of memory card.

IMPORTANT!  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 23) 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 format (initialize) a new memory card  
You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.  
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 34).  
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].  
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 memory card on  
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the  
camera. In the case of an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a  
computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with  
compatibility, operation, etc.  
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi  
Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

Holding the Camera Correctly  
Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the  
shutter button. When pressing the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera as  
shown in the illustration below, and keep it still by pressing your arms firmly against  
your sides as you shoot.  
Holding the camera still, carefully press the shutter button and take care to avoid all  
movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is  
especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter  
speed.

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 64).  
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 58) or Manual Focus (page  
57).

Changing the Image Size (Size)  
. Pixels  
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.  
Pixel

• The initial factory default image size setting is “14M”.  
• Selecting “3:2” records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the  
standard aspect ratio of print paper.  
• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an  
aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of  
television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible  
with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.  
• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi

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 139) 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.

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 47).  
• 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  
If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop  
when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom  
controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) 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.

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.  
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button  
noise to be picked up in the audio.  
Microphone  
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the  
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.  
• When using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can  
take too much time to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or  
audio. This condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To  
avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed  
of at least 10MB per second is recommended (page 125).  
• 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.  
Shooting a Snapshot while Shooting a Movie

Using BEST SHOT  
What is 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.  
• 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 104).  
• 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.

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.  
• Auto Focus is the only focus mode available while face detection is enabled. To  
select another focus mode, first turn off face detection (page 42).  
• 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 to 9  
* oo is the actual focusing range value.  
• The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page  
62) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.  
Using Focus Lock  
“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  
screen.

While Continuous Shutter is turned on, images are continually recorded until memory  
becomes full, as long as you keep the shutter button depressed.  
Releasing the shutter button stops shooting.  
NOTE  
• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for  
successive images as well.  
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.  
– Some BEST SHOT scenes  
– easy Mode  
– Movie Recording  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until all recording is  
finished.  
• The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality  
settings.  
• The speed of Continuous Shutter depends on the type of memory card loaded in  
the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting to  
built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.  
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with Continuous Shutter.  
Reducing the Effects of Camera and Subject Movement

Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)  
Procedure  
[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * Quality Tab * EV Shift  
You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.  
• Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV  
• Unit: 1/3 EV  
1. Use [8] and [2] to adjust the exposure compensation value.  
[8] :Increases the EV value. A higher EV  
value is best for light-colored subjects  
and backlit subjects.  
[2] :Decreases the EV value. A lower EV  
value is best for dark-color subjects and  
for shooting outdoors on a clear day.  
To cancel exposure compensation, change the EV value to 0.0.  
2. Press [SET].  
This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation  
value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which  
causes it to revert to “0.0”).  
NOTE  
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to  
obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.

. 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 82).  
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 109).  
• 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  
• PictBridge  
This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association  
(CIPA).  
• 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.

. 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 it 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 104 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.  
• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access  
camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.

118  
. 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  
– Using a battery that is low  
– Other abnormal operations  
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor  
screen (page 134). 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 an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to extreme 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.  
Appendix

119  
 
. 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.  
. USB-AC adaptor Handling Precautions  
-

heavy objects onto the power cord, or expose it to intense heat. Doing so can  
damage the power cord, creating the risk of fire and electric shock.  
0 Never try to modify the power cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or  
pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
0 Never plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so  
creates the risk of electric shock.  
0 Do not plug the power cord into an outlet or extension cord that is shared by  
other devices. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
0 Should the power cord ever become damaged (to the point that internal wires  
are exposed or cut), immediately contact your original retailer or a CASIO  
authorized service center to request repair. Continued use of a damaged power  
cord creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
• The USB-AC adaptor becomes slightly warm during charging. This is normal and  
does not indicate malfunction.  
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the USB-AC  
adaptor.

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.  
To replace the battery  
1. Open the battery cover and remove  
the current battery.  
With the monitor screen side of the  
camera facing upwards, slide the stopper  
in the direction indicated by the arrow in  
the illustration. After the battery pops out,  
pull it the rest of the way out of the  
camera.

2. Load a new battery.

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 5°C to  
35°C (41°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-120) 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 23 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a  
memory card.  
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.  
. 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 114). 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 speeds. In particular, you  
may experience problems saving high-quality (HD and STD) movies. When using the  
camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take too much time  
to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This condition is

indicated by  
and  
flashing on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a  
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.  
. 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 114) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Approximate Battery Life  
All of the values provided below represent the approximate amount of time under  
normal temperature (23°C (73°F)) before the camera turns off. These values are not  
guaranteed. Low temperatures shorten battery life.  
Number of Shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)*1  
Continuous Playback (Snapshots)*2  
190 shots  
3 hours 10 minutes  
1 hour 20 minutes  
3 hours 10 minutes  
Approximate continuous movie recording time*3  
Continuous Voice Recording*4  
• Battery: NP-120 (Rated Capacity: 600 mAh)  
• Recording Medium: 1GB SD memory card (PRO HIGH SPEED (Panasonic  
Corporation))  
• Measurement Conditions  
*1 Approximate number of shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)  
In accordance with CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association) standards  
Normal temperature (23°C (73°F)), monitor on, zoom operation between full wide and  
full telephoto every 30 seconds, during which two images are shot with flash; power  
turned off and back on every time 10 images are shot.  
*2 Approximate playback time  
Standard temperature (23°C (73°F)), one-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds  
*3 Approximate time using a 4GB SDHC memory card for a repeated cycle of 10 minutes  
recording followed by deletion of the recorded file.  
*4 Approximate continuous recording time  
• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated  
charging shortens battery life.  
• Frequency of flash, zoom, and Auto Focus usage, and the time the camera is on  
greatly affects recording time and number of shots values.
