Other Charging Precautions  
• 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.  
• Use the special charger (BC-100L) to charge the special lithium ion battery  
(NP-100). 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.

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 177.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– SD Memory Card  
– SDHC Memory Card  
– MMC (MultiMediaCard)  
– MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)  
Use one of the above types of memory card.  
. Memory Card Handling Precautions  
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may  
experience problems saving high-quality movies. Use of certain types of memory  
cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to  
be lost. The “0 REC” indicator on the monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that  
frames are being lost. Use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at  
least 10MB per second is recommended.  
To load a memory card  
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then open  
the memory card slot cover.  
Pressing the memory card slot cover, slide it in the direction  
indicated by the arrow.

2. Load a memory card.  
Positioning the memory card so its front is  
facing in the same direction as the  
monitor screen side of the camera, slide it  
into the card slot as far as it will go, until  
you hear it click securely into place.

3. Close the memory card slot cover.  
Pressing the memory card slot cover against the camera, slide  
it closed.

IMPORTANT!  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 16) 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. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].  
2. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].  
3. 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 or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can  
result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility,  
operation, etc.

• While the “Anti Shake” setting is “D Auto” or “  
Camera AS”, half pressing the  
shutter will cause the camera to vibrate and emit an operation sound. This is  
normal and does not indicate malfunction (page 81).  
. Using Quick Shutter  
Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record  
using Quick Shutter (page 84).  
• With Quick Shutter, the camera focuses faster than normal Auto Focus, which  
means you can capture quick moving action more easily. Note, however, that some  
images may be out of focus when Quick Shutter is used.  
• Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press the shutter button in order  
to ensure proper focus.  
. 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.) Point the camera at the  
subject and try to focus again.

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, install the lens hood that comes  
with the camera or shade the lens with your hand.  
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots  
• 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 87).  
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  
– Subject that is too far away for light from the AF assist lamp to reach  
– 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 44) or Manual Focus (page  
43).

IMPORTANT!  
• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when shooting an image  
that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode to adjust the  
aperture or shutter speed manually.  
• Due to the characteristics of the camera’s semiconductor, slow shutter speeds can  
cause digital noise in images. The camera performs an automatic noise reduction  
process whenever the shutter speed is 1 second or slower (except for images shot  
with Bracketing CS). Storage of images shot at slower shutter speeds takes longer  
because of the time required for noise reduction. Do not perform any key operation  
while the image storage operation is in progress.  
• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast  
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.  
• Depending on the shutter speed setting and the recording mode you used, the  
brightness of what appears on the monitor screen when you record the image may  
be different from the brightness of the recorded image.  
• Image AS (page 81) does not work in the S mode and M mode. You can, however,  
turn on Camera AS, if you like.  
• The recording mode changes to t (Auto) automatically whenever you shoot a  
movie with the “STD” or “HD” movie mode (page 64).  
• The aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity settings configured with the  
snapshot A Mode, S Mode, or M Mode are used when shooting a movie with the  
HS” movie mode (page 64). Note, however, that the shutter speed range is limited  
in accordance with the frame rate specified for the high-speed movie.  
• When recording with some modes, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands  
to appear in the image.

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  
. About image sizes  
The size of an image indicates how many  
pixels it contains, and is expressed as

Image Size Selection Tips  
Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.  
Large Number of Pixels  
* More detail, but takes up more memory. Best when you plan  
to print large-size prints (such as A3 size).  
Small Number of Pixels  
* Less detail, but takes up less memory. Best when you want to  
send images by e-mail, etc.

• Selecting 3:2 (2816 1872 pixels) 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

NOTE  
• Take care to ensure nothing is close to or in contact with the flash unit when it fires.  
Also make sure that the flash unit and the area around it is not dirty. Objects, dust,  
or dirt near the flash unit can be burned when the flash fires.  
• 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 depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient  
temperature, etc.) With a fully charged battery it takes anywhere from a few  
seconds to 9 seconds.  
• 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  
photography is prohibited.  
• Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: AUTO)  
Wide Angle: 0.5 m to 6.7 m (1.6' to 22.0')

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, an LED light will light immediately before the flash fires. This causes the irises  
in the eyes of any people in the image to become smaller, 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.

• An ISO setting of ISO 400 or greater is not supported when the “Image Size”  
setting is “RAW+”. If the ISO setting is “ISO 400” or greater when you change  
the “Image Size” setting to “RAW+”, an ISO setting of ISO 200 will be used for  
recording.  
Adjusting White Balance (White Balance)

Shooting with Zoom  
Your camera provides you with 12X 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  
12X to 180.7X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 42).  
1. In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.

NOTE  
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and  
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.  
• When proper focusing with Macro Focus is not possible because the subject is  
outside the macro range, the camera will switch to the Auto Focus range  
automatically (Auto Macro).  
• Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only.  
• 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.

Continuous Shutter Precautions  
• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able  
to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure  
your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using  
continuous shutter.  
• 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.  
Movie Mode, some BEST SHOT scenes (Digital Anti Shake, Move Out CS, Move  
In CS, Digital Panning)  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is  
finished.  
• In the Prerecord (Still image) and High-speed CS modes, the flash setting  
automatically becomes ? (flash off).  
• Zoom is disabled during continuous shutter operations.  
• Automatic noise reduction at slow shutter speeds is not performed when shooting  
with Bracketing CS.  
• When the High-speed CS speed setting is anything other than “AUTO-N”, the  
maximum number of images per continuous shutter session is limited for Prerecord  
(Still image), Flash CS, and Bracketing, even if there is memory card capacity  
available to store more images.

Audio  
Your camera has built-in microphones that  
can be used to record audio during movie  
recording. An external microphone jack also  
supports connection of a commercially  
available external microphone. Note,  
however, that the built-in microphones are  
disabled while an external microphone is  
being used.

. Recording Precautions  
The camera also records audio. Note the  
following points when shooting a movie.  
– Take care that the microphones are not  
blocked by your fingers, etc.  
Microphones  
– 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.  
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.  
• Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies,  
which can cause movie frames to be lost. The “0 REC” indicator on the monitor  
screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being lost. To avoid loss of movie  
frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per  
second is recommended.  
• 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.  
• Face Detection is disabled during movie recording.

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.  
Some Sample Scenes

NOTE  
• 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 127).  
When the Movie Mode setting (page 64) is “HS” (High-speed Movie) or “STD”, the  
YouTube scene movie is recorded with the current movie size, recording speed  
and quality settings. You cannot shoot with the “For YouTube” scene while “HD” is  
selected as the movie mode or while “1200 fps” is selected for high-speed movie.  
. Using the Scene Information Screen  
To find out more about a scene, select it with the  
boundary on the scene menu and then slide the zoom  
controller in either direction.

“On” for the “Continuous AF” setting on the “REC” tab or use manual focus. After  
focusing, start recording.  
• A slow shutter speed setting is used when the “Night Scene” or “Fireworks” scene  
is selected. The camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process at  
slow shutter speeds. It is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur.  
• 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 135).  
• 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 configured 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.  
• The CS dial setting is ignored and the t (Single Shot) setting is used while the  
“Splashing Water”, “Night Scene”, “Night Scene Portrait”, or “Fireworks” BEST

Using an External Flash  
Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible to obtain a higher level of  
brightness than you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external flash also  
makes it possible to extend the effective range of flash photography.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Some flash performance may be lost when using a ring flash or other type of unit  
with a long flash time.  
• The aperture value and ISO sensitivity available with some flash units may not  
match the values supported by your camera. In such a case, make adjustments in  
the aperture setting of the external flash and the camera until proper brightness is  
achieved.  
• An external flash unit cannot be used with Flash CS (page 48).  
. Before Using an External Flash Unit  
Be sure to perform the following steps before using an external flash unit.  
1. In the REC mode, set the CS dial to t (Single Shot).  
2. Press [2] (  
) once.  
3. Use [4] and [6] to select ¢ (External Flash) and then press [SET].  
Now if you connect an external flash unit it will fire whenever you shoot a  
snapshot. The built-in flash will not fire.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Be sure to select ¢ (External Flash) for the flash mode setting when using an  
external flash. If you don’t, the built-in flash will pop up during shooting, which can  
lead to malfunction if it comes into contact with the external flash unit.  
• Note that the brightness of what you see on the monitor screen will be different  
from the brightness of the image you record. Make sure you check the settings of  
your external flash and of the camera before recording.

. Using an External Flash Unit  
IMPORTANT!  
• Always make sure that the external flash unit is turned off before attaching it to or  
detaching it from the camera. Leaving the flash unit on can cause it to fire  
unexpectedly.  
1. Remove the shoe cap.  
• Keep the shoe cap in a safe place where it will not become lost.  
• Replace the shoe cap when you are not using the external flash shoe. The  
shoe cap protects the shoe contact from dirt and damage.  
2. Attach the external flash unit to the  
External flash unit  
external flash shoe.  
External flash shoe  
3. Turn on camera power and make the  
required camera settings.  
REC mode: M (Manual Exposure) mode  
Shutter Speed: Around 1/60 (Select the  
aperture to match the type of image you are  
shooting.)  
White Balance: ¤ (Daylight)  
Flash Mode: ¢ (External Flash) (page 92)  
4. Turn on the external flash unit, and set it up for the camera’s aperture  
value and sensitivity value.  
• Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure may not be attained even  
if you properly set the auto aperture value and ISO sensitivity of the flash unit  
to match those of the camera. If this happens, adjust the auto aperture value,  
ISO sensitivity, or other settings of the flash unit. Also try adjusting the aperture  
of the camera and the ISO sensitivity to match the flash setting.

. External Flash Precautions  
• After recording an image, check it on the monitor screen. If it is not what you  
expected, use the controls on the external flash unit to adjust flash intensity, and  
adjust the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. Note that you  
cannot control external flash unit intensity using camera settings.  
• Close up images often tend to be overexposed. If you are having overexposure  
problems, try adjusting the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings of the external  
flash unit and the camera. You can also try using the camera’s built in flash to  
correct for overexposure.  
• Camera aperture (F) values are based on the widest optical zoom (1X). Using  
telephoto can cause slight lens darkness. Adjust the aperture and ISO sensitivity  
settings of the external flash unit and the camera as required when using optical  
zoom.  
• If you do not plan to use the external flash, detach it from the camera and select  
some setting other than ¢ (External Flash) as the flash mode. The built-in flash  
will not operate properly while an external flash is attached.  
Installing the Lens Hood or a Lens Filter  
Use the procedures in this section to install the lens hood that comes with the camera  
or a commercially available filter.  
Installing the Lens Hood  
Installing the lens hood that comes with the  
Guide marks  
camera shuts out unwanted light when shooting  
in very strong sunlight or against backlighting,  
which helps to reduce the chance of ghosting  
and flaring.  
When installing the lens hood, align the guide  
mark on the hood with the guide mark on the  
camera lens, and press the hood until you hear it  
Lens hood  
click into place.  
To remove the lens hood, press the buttons on

NOTE  
• Depending on the angle of the light, the lens hood may not have the desired effect.  
• Using the flash with the lens hood attached can cause vignetting (darkening of the  
corners of the image). Remove the lens hood before using the flash.  
• Use of a commercially available lens hood may cause vignetting (darkening of the  
corners of the image).  
Installing a Filter  
This camera supports use of commercially available 62mm filters.  
NOTE  
• Carefully read the user documentation that comes with filters for information about  
how to use them properly.  
• Keep the following points in mind when purchasing a filter.  
– Use of a filter can cause blackening around the edges of images.  
– Use of a filter may interfere with proper operation of Auto Focus and flash.  
– Filters may not deliver the same results as those obtained with a film camera.  
• Do not use multiple filters.

The next DPOF print operation you execute will be performed using the last DPOF  
settings you configured for the images. To clear DPOF settings, specify “00” for the  
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.  
Configure DPOF settings (page 119).  
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.

. 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 folders it to  
change their names to dates or something similar after you copy them to your  
computer. If you later decided to return a DCIM 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 135 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.

number used in file names (page 134).  
Tells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will  
be named using the next sequential number, even if files are deleted or  
if a blank memory card is loaded. If a memory card is loaded and that  
Continue card already has files stored on it and the largest sequential number in  
the existing file names is greater than the largest sequential number  
remembered by the camera, numbering of new files will start from the  
largest sequential number in the existing file names plus 1.  
Restarts the serial number from 0001 whenever all files are deleted or  
when the memory card is replaced with a blank one. If a memory card  
Reset  
is loaded and that card already has files stored on it, numbering of new  
files will start from the largest sequential number in the existing file

Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure  
(+Histogram)  
Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you  
can use to check the exposure of an image before you  
shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY  
mode for information about the exposure levels of  
images.  
Histogram  
NOTE  
• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The  
recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its  
histogram is centered.  
• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve  
an optimum histogram configuration.  
• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to  
indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is  
shot.  
• The histogram cannot be displayed during High-speed Movie recording.

How to Use the Histogram  
A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the  
number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal  
axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you  
can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum  
exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as  
possible. For snapshots, you can even display individual histograms for R (red), G  
(green), and B (blue).  
Example Histograms  
A histogram towards the left side results when the  
overall image is dark. A histogram that is too far to  
the left may result in “black out” of the dark areas  
of an image.  
A histogram towards the right side results when  
the overall image is light. A histogram that is too  
far to the right may result in “white out” of the light  
areas of an image.  
An overall well-balanced histogram results when  
the overall image is at optimal lightness.

Power Supply  
Charging  
If the [CHARGE] lamp does not light...  
Charging cannot be performed because ambient temperature or the temperature of  
the charger is too hot or too cold. Wait until the camera returns to normal  
temperature. When the camera returns to a temperature where charging can be  
performed, the [CHARGE] lamp will light red.  
Operating Temperature: 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)  
If the [CHARGE] lamp does not light red even within the specified operating  
temperature, the battery is faulty or the battery is loaded in the charger incorrectly.  
Remove the battery from the charger and check if its contacts are dirty. If contacts  
become dirty, wipe them clean with a dry cloth. When experiencing charging  
problems, also check to make sure that the power cord is not disconnected from the  
power outlet or charger.  
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.  
• 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).

. Using a Memory Card  
• SD memory cards and SDHC 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.  
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during  
Write enabled  
Write disabled  
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 145).  
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.)  
. 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 145) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-100  
rechargeable lithium ion battery.

• The number of image values are approximate and are provided for reference only. The  
actual number of images you may be able to record may be less than that indicated on  
the monitor screen.  
• Image files sizes are approximate and are provided for reference only. Actual image file  
sizes vary depending on subject type.  
• The above values are based on use of a Panasonic PRO HIGH SPEED SD memory  
card. The number of images you can save depends on the type of memory card you are  
using.  
• When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a  
percentage of 1GB.  
• The time it takes to play back a high-speed movie will be different from the time it takes to  
record it. If you record a 300 fps high-speed movie for 10 seconds, for example, it will  
take 100 seconds to play it back.  
• The following are the maximum file sizes when shooting with “Prerecord (Movie)” at a  
high speed of 600 fps or 1200 fps.  
600 fps : 2 GB  
1200 fps : 1GB

*1 RAW+ is the total file size of the RAW file and 6M (2816 2112) JPEG file. The image  
quality setting applies to the JPEG file only.  
*2 Recordable time when the entire movie is recorded at 30 fps. Recording time is shorter  
if the 30 fps frame rate is switched to 300 fps during recording.  
*3 Shooting with “For YouTube” is not possible while “HD” is selected as the movie mode  
or while “1200 fps” is selected for high-speed movie.

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  
520 shots  
8 hours  
Approximate continuous movie recording time  
3 hours 30 minutes  
• Battery: NP-100 (Rated Capacity: 1950mAh)  
• Recording Medium: 1GB SD memory card (Panasonic brand PRO HIGH SPEED)  
• Measurement Conditions  
*1 Approximate number of shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)  
In accordance with CIPA 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  
• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated  
charging shortens battery life.  
• Frequency of flash, zoom, High-speed Continuous Shutter, and Auto Focus usage,  
and the time the camera is on greatly affects recording time and number of shots  
values.
