I Household Current

• AC Adaptor: AD-C30

Power Requirements

Your camera features a two-way power supply that lets you

use either AA-size batteries or household AC current. A set

of AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries is

supplied with the camera. The other items listed below are

available separately.

Charging Batteries

You can use the steps below to charge the rechargeable

nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-3U) using the charger

unit (BC-5H) that comes with the camera.

I Batteries

Never try to use the charger unit to charge any other

type of batteries besides the specified rechargeable

nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-3U). Attempting to

use it to charge dry cells or other types of rechargeable

batteries creates the risk of battery leakage,

overheating, and explosion.

• Two AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries

HR-3U (Rated Capacitance 2100 mAh) (bundled)

HR-3U (Rated Capacitance 2300 mAh)

• Two AA-size lithium batteries: FR6

• Two AA-size alkaline batteries: LR6

• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if you use any

other type of battery other than that noted above.

• When being powered by AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6),

the camera may not operate at all at temperatures of 5°C

(41°F) or lower.

The batteries are not charged when you purchase the

camera. You need to charge batteries before using the

camera for the first time.

GETTING READY

2. Plug the charger unit into a household power

outlet.

I To charge the batteries

1. Positioning the positive and negative

terminals of each battery as shown in the

illustration, attach the batteries to the charger

unit.

• This will cause the [CHARGE] lamp to light.

• Charging will take about four hours.

* Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity

and charging conditions.

GETTING READY

IMPORTANT!

3. The [CHARGE] lamp will go out when

charging is complete.

• If the [CHARGE] lamp starts to flash when you start

a charge operation, it means that charging cannot be

started yet because the surrounding temperature or

the temperature of the charger unit is outside the

range of about 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

Charging will start automatically (indicated when the

[CHARGE] lamp stops flashing and remains lit) as

soon as temperature returns to normal.

• Charging batteries while they are still warm

immediately after removing them from the camera

can result in only partial charging. Give batteries time

to cool before charging them.

4. After charging is complete, unplug the

charger unit from the power outlet, and

remove the batteries from it.

• Always unplug the charger unit from the power outlet

and remove the batteries whenever you are not

using it for charging.

• Batteries discharge slightly even when they are left

without loading them into the camera. Because of

this, it is recommended that you charge batteries

immediately before you need to use them.

• The batteries used with this camera are specifically

designed for use with digital cameras. If you want to

try to use them to power another type of device, you

should first check the user documentation that

comes with the device to see if the batteries are

compatible.

GETTING READY

• Though the actual service life of the batteries

depends on the environment under which they are

used, you can expect to be able to recharge them

about 500 times before they need replacement.

• Charging the batteries 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.

• Dirty charger contacts and/or battery terminals can

make proper charging impossible. Be sure to wipe

contacts and terminals occasionally with a dry cloth

to keep them clean.

I Using The Charger Unit In Another

Geographic Area

• The bundled charger unit is designed for operation with

any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC. Note,

however, that the shape of the AC power cord plug varies

according to country or geographic area. If you plan to

use the charger unit in a geographic area where the

power receptacle shape is different from that in your area,

replace the AC power cord with one of the other ones that

come with the camera, or purchase a commercially

available AC power cord that is compatible with the power

outlets in that area.

I Charger Unit Precautions

• The charger unit becomes slightly warm during

charging. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

• Unplug the charger unit from the power outlet

whenever you are not using it.

• Always make sure that the charger unit is on a level

surface when using it for charging.

I Battery Precautions

I Optional Batteries

Use of SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. Rechargeable nickel-

metal hydride batteries (HR-3U) is recommended for this

camera. Proper operation cannot be guaranteed when

other brands of rechargeable batteries are used.

Precautions During Use

• Charge the batteries in a location where the

temperature is in the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to

95°F). Charging outside this temperature range can

cause charging to take longer than normal or even

cause charging to fail.

IMPORTANT!

• Very limited operation following a full charge indicates

that the batteries have reached the end of their service

life. Replace the batteries with new ones.

• Never mix two batteries of different brands, ages, or

charge levels. Doing so creates the risk of shortened

battery life and can even damage the camera.

Storage Precautions

• Though rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries

provide high power in a compact configuration, storing

them for long periods while they are charged can cause

batteries to deteriorate.

— Always remove the batteries from the camera when

you are not using it. Leaving batteries in the camera

can cause them to discharge and go dead or even

leak.

— Store batteries in a dry place where the temperature

is 20°C (68°F) or lower.

— If you store batteries for a long time, charge them

two or three times before using them again.

Configuring Display Language and Clock

Settings

Be sure to configure the following settings before using the

camera to record images.

• Recording images without configuring the clock

settings causes incorrect time information to be

stored with image data. Be sure to configure the

clock settings before using the camera.

• A built-in backup battery retains the date and time

settings for about two days if the camera is not

supplied with power. The date and time settings will

be cleared when the backup battery goes dead. The

following are the conditions when power is not being

supplied to the camera.

• Display language

• Home city

• Date style

• Date and time

Note that the current date and time settings are used by

the camera to generate the date and time that are stored

along with image data, etc.

— When the rechargeable batteries are dead or

removed from the camera

— Disconnecting the AC adaptor while it is being

used to power the camera (without batteries

loaded)

• The date and time setting screen will appear on the

monitor screen the next time you turn on the camera

after the date and time settings have been cleared.

If this happens, reconfigure the date and time

settings.

• If you make a mistake when setting the language or

Recording Precautions

• Never open the battery compartment cover while the

causes the current image to be lost, it can also corrupt

images already stored in file memory and even lead to

malfunction of the camera.

Shutter button

• The number of images that can

be stored in memory depends on

the resolution setting you are

using (pages 70, 71, 206).

• Never remove the memory card while an image is being

stored to the memory card.

• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that

cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the

camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience

some brightness or color problems with recorded images.

• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting

(page 100), the camera automatically adjusts its

sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the

subject. This can cause some static noise to appear in

images of relatively dark subjects.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

• When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected

for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 100), the camera

increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed.

Because of this, you need to guard against camera

movement if you have flash turned off (page 63).

• Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to

appear “washed out”. This tends to happen when

recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect

against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from

the light.

About Auto Focus

• Auto Focus tends not to work well if the camera is moved

during recording, or when recording the types of subjects

listed below.

— Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast

— Strongly backlit subjects

— Polished metal or other brightly reflective subjects

— Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns

— Multiple subjects that are varying distances from the

camera

— Subjects in poorly lit areas

— Moving subjects

• Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not

necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in

focus.

• If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for

some reason, try using focus lock (page 78) or manual

focus (page 76).

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

About the REC Mode Monitor Screen

Using the Optical Viewfinder

• The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC

mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The

actual image is recorded in accordance with the image

quality setting currently selected on your camera. The

image saved in file memory has much better resolution

and detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.

• Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the

response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,

which causes some static noise in the monitor screen

image.

• Very bright light inside of an image 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 (page

95).

You can conserve battery power by turning off the

camera’s monitor screen (page 32) and using the optical

viewfinder to compose images.

IMPORTANT!

• The visible area framed by the viewfinder shows the

image that would be recorded at a distance of about

one meter (3.3´). When recording a subject that is

closer to you than one meter, the recorded image will

be lower than what you can see inside the viewfinder

area.

I About Red-eye Reduction

To do this:

Select this setting:

None

Have the flash fire automatically when

required (Auto Flash)

Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can

cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the

image. This happens because 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 performs two

pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in

the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for

the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash

operation for actual recording of the image.

Turn off the flash (Flash Off)

Always fire the flash (Flash On)

Fire a pre-flash followed by image

recording with flash, reducing the

chance of red-eye in the image (Red-

eye reduction)

In this case, the flash fires automatically

when required

3. Record the image.

IMPORTANT!

• Note the following important points when using red-

eye reduction.

• The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times when

you record an image. The initial flashes are pre-flashes,

which the camera uses to obtain information that it uses for

exposure settings. The final flash is for recording. Make sure

that you keep the camera still until the shutter releases.

• Image recording may not be performed if you press

the shutter button while the flash is charging (which

is indicated by a flashing red operation lamp).

— Red-eye reduction does not work unless the

people in the image are looking directly at the

camera during the pre-flash. Before pressing the

shutter button, call out to the subjects so they all

look at the camera while the pre-flash operation is

performed.

— Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the

subjects are located far away from the camera.

• Using the flash while “Auto” is selected for the ISO

Sensitivity setting increases sensitivity, which can

cause large amounts of digital noise to appear in the

image. You can reduce digital noise by using a lower

ISO Sensitivity setting. Note, however, that this also

has the effect of shortening the flash range (the range

that is covered by the light from the flash)(page 100).

Adjusting White Balance

The wavelengths of the light produced by various light

sources (daylight, light bulb, etc.) can affect the color of a

subject when it is recorded. White balance lets you make

adjustments to compensate for different lighting types, so

the colors of an image appear more natural.

• When “Auto” is selected for the white balance

setting, the camera automatically determines the

white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and

light source conditions can cause problems when the

camera tries to determine the white point, which

makes proper white balance adjustment impossible.

When this happens, use daylight, cloudy, or one of

the other fixed white balance settings to specify the

type of lighting available.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

• An RGB histogram that shows the distribution of R (red) ,

G (green) , and B (blue) components is also displayed.

This histogram can be used to determine whether there is

too much or too little of each of the color components in

an image.

Using the Histogram

You can use [DISP] to display a histogram on the monitor

screen. The histogram lets you check exposure conditions

as you record images (page 32). You can also display the

histogram of a recorded image in the PLAY mode.

NOTE

• You can use key customization (page 106) to

configure the camera to perform exposure

compensation whenever you press [̇] or [̈] while in

the REC mode. If you do this, you can adjust

exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen

histogram (page 79).

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. You can use the histogram to

determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left

side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) required

to bring out sufficient image detail. If the histogram

appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV

shift (exposure compensation) to move it left or right in

order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can

be achieved by correcting exposure so the graph is as

close to the center as possible.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

• When the histogram is too far

to the left, it means that there

are too many dark pixels.

This type of histogram 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 centered histogram

indicates that there is good

distribution of light pixels and

dark pixels. This type of

histogram results when the

overall image is at optimal

lightness.

• When the histogram is too far

to the right, it means that

there are too many light

pixels.

This type of histogram results

when the overall image is

achieve exactly the same shapes for particular

subjects.

• 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.

The following are the settings you can configure before

recording an image using a REC mode.

• ISO sensitivity

• Metering

• Color filtering

• Sharpness

• Saturation

• Contrast

• Grid on/off

• Image Review on/off

• Icon Help

• L/R key setting

• Power on default settings

• Resetting the camera

• You may not be able to achieve an optimum

histogram configuration due to the limitations of EV

shift.

NOTE

• Use of the flash as well as certain shooting

conditions can cause the histogram to indicate

exposure that is different from the actual exposure of

the image when it was recorded.

• You can also configure the settings listed below. See

the referenced pages for more information.

— Size (page 70)

— Quality (page 71)

• The histogram does not appear when you are using

Coupling Shot (page 89) or Pre-shot (page 91).

• The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed

for snapshots only. In the Movie mode, only the

luminance distribution histogram appears on the

monitor screen.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT!

Specifying ISO Sensitivity

• Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in

combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can

cause digital noise, which makes an image appear

rough. For clean, good-quality images, use the

lowest possible ISO sensitivity setting possible.

• Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the

flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in

improper illumination of the subject.

You can change the ISO sensitivity setting for better

images in places where lighting is dim or when you are

using faster shutter speeds.

• ISO sensitivity is expressed in terms of values that

originally indicated the sensitivity to light for photographic

film. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is

better for recording when available lighting is dim.

1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].

NOTE

• You can use key customization (page 106) to

configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting

changes whenever you press [̇] and [̈] while in the

REC mode.

2. Select the “REC” tab, select “ISO”, and then

press [̈].

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Center weighted

Selecting the Metering Mode

Center weighted metering measures

light concentrating on the center of the

focus area. Use this metering method

when you want to exert some control

over exposure, without leaving settings

totally up to the camera.

Use the following procedure to specify multi-pattern

metering, spot metering, or center-weighted metering as

the metering mode.

1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].

Spot

2. Select the “REC” tab, select “Metering”, and

then press [̈].

Spot metering takes readings at a very

small area. Use this metering method

when you want exposure to be set

according to the brightness of a

particular subject, without it being

affected by surrounding conditions.

3. Use [̆] and [̄] to select the setting you

want, and then press [SET].

Multi (Multi-pattern)

Multi-pattern metering divides the image

into sections and measures the light in

each section for a balanced exposure

reading. The camera automatically

determines shooting conditions

according to the measured lighting

pattern, and makes exposure settings

accordingly. This type of metering

provides error-free exposure settings for

a wide range of shooting conditions.

• Changing the exposure compensation setting (page

79) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering

mode setting to “Center Weighted.” The metering

mode changes back to “Multi” when you return the

exposure compensation setting to 0.0.

The camera’s filter function lets you alter the tint of an

image when you record it.

FILE MANAGEMENT

The file management capabilities of the camera make it

easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against

deletion and store the files you want in the camera’s built-in

memory.

Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.

Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next

serially numbered folder to be created. File names are

generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 26th file

Folders

Your camera automatically creates folders in its built-in

flash memory or on the memory card.

Memory Folders and Files

• The folder and file names described here appear when

you view folders and files on a computer. See page 31 for

information about how the camera displays folder and file

names.

• The actual number of files you will be able to store on a

memory card depends on the image size and quality, card

capacity, etc.

An image you record is automatically stored in a folder,

whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900

folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are

generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 100th folder.

Using the FAVORITE Folder

You can copy scenery shots, photos of your family, or other

special images from a file storage folder (page 174) to the

FAVORITE folder in built-in memory (page 174). Images in

the FAVORITE folder are not displayed during normal

image as the startup image.

— The camera’s built-in startup image

— A snapshot you recorded with the camera

— A movie you recorded with the camera, whose file

size is smaller than the amount of unused built-in

memory available

You can specify an image you recorded as the startup

screen for about two seconds whenever you press the

power button or [

• The snapshot image or movie that you select as the

startup image is stored in the camera’s built-in

memory. Only one image can be stored in startup

image memory at one time. Selecting a new startup

image overwrites anything that is already stored in

startup image memory. Because of this, if you want

to return to a previous startup image, you need to

have a separate copy of that image in the camera’s

standard image memory. Note that you cannot delete

an image from startup image memory. You can only

replace it with another image.

the camera and then release

it. This will cause the card to

come part way out of the

camera.

IMPORTANT!

• 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 card,

formatting on a computer can result in non-

conformity with the SD format, causing problems with

compatibility, operation, etc.

• Note that data deleted by a memory card format

operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure

you do not need any of the data on the memory card

before you format it.

2. Pull the memory card out of the slot.

IMPORTANT!

• Never insert any other object besides a memory card

into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk

of damage to the camera and card.

• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the

card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove

the batteries, and contact your dealer or nearest

CASIO authorized service center.

• Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes

all the files, even those that are protected (page

127).

• Never remove a card from the camera while the

operation lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause the

file save operation to fail, and even damage the

memory card.

USING A MEMORY CARD

1. Load the memory card into the camera.

Memory Card Precautions

• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can

restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we

recommend that you always take along more than one

memory card whenever using the camera far away from

the home or office.

• We recommend that you format a memory card before

using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever

the card you are using seems to be the cause of

abnormal images.

2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC

mode or PLAY mode, and press [MENU].

3. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format”, and

then press [̈].

4. Use [̆] and [̄] to select “Format”, and then

press [SET].

• As you record data to and delete data from an SD

memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to

retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of an

SD memory card is recommended.

• To exit the format operation without formatting,

select “Cancel”.

• Before starting a format operation, check to make sure

that the batteries are fully charged. Power interruption

during the format operation can result in improper

formatting, and even damage the memory card and make

it unusable.

PRINTING IMAGES

A digital camera provides you with a variety of different

ways to print the images it records. The three main printing

methods are described below. Use the method that best

suits your needs.

I Printing with a Computer

Windows Users

The camera comes bundled with Photo Loader and

Photohands applications (page 186), which can be installed

on a Windows computer for image transfer, management,

and printing. For more information, see “Viewing Images on

a Computer” (page 162) and “Installing the Software from

the CD-ROM” (page 185).

I Professional Print Service

The camera’s DPOF feature lets you specify which images

you want to print and how many copies of each you want.

For more information, see “DPOF” (page 153).

IMPORTANT!

• Refer to the pages referenced above for information

about how to connect the camera to a computer.

Image management procedures are provided in the

following pages of this section.

I Printing Directly on a Printer Equipped with

a Card Slot, or a Printer that Supports USB

DIRECT-PRINT or PictBridge

After using the camera’s DPOF feature to specify the

images you want to print and how many copies of each

should be printed, you can plug the memory card into a

printer equipped with a card slot, or connect the camera to

a PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT printer for printing.

For more information, see “DPOF” (page 153) and “Using

PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT” (page 156).

Macintosh Users

DPOF

The camera comes bundled with Photo Loader for the

Macintosh, which can be installed for image transfer and

management, but not for printing. Use commercially

available software for printing with a Macintosh. For more

information, see “Viewing Images on a Computer” (page

162) and “Installing the Software from the CD-ROM” (page

185).

The letters “DPOF” stand for “Digital Print

Order Format”, which is a format for

recording on a memory card or other medium

which digital camera images should be

printed and how many copies of the image

should be printed. Then you can print on a

DPOF-compatible printer or at a professional

print service in accordance with the file name

and number of copies settings recorded on

the card.

IMPORTANT!

• Refer to the pages referenced above for information

about how to connect the camera to your Macintosh.

Image management procedures are provided in the

Memory Data

Images recorded with this camera and other data are

stored in memory using DCF (Design rule for Camera File

system) protocol. DCF protocol is designed to make it

easier to exchange image and other data between digital

cameras and other devices.

Built-in Memory and Memory Card

Precautions

• Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top)

folder of all the files in memory. When transferring

memory contents to a hard disk, CD-R, MO disk, or other

external storage, treat all the contents inside a DCIM

folder as a set and always keep them together. You can

change the name of the DCIM folder on your computer.

Changing the name to a date is a good way to keep track

of multiple DCIM folders. However, if you even want to

copy the folders back to the camera’s file memory, be

sure you change the name of the DCIM folder back to

“DCIM” first. The camera does not recognize any folder

name other than DCIM.

USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

The album feature of the camera creates files that make it

possible for you to view images on your computer in a

photo album layout. You can also use the applications

contained on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the

camera to automate image transfer and to retouch images.

• You can use the Web browser shown below to view or

print the contents of an album. Note that to view a movie

on a computer running Windows 2000 or 98, you need to

install DirectX from the bundled CD-ROM.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Ver 5.5 or later

Using the Album Feature

Creating an album

The album feature creates an HTML photo album layout

that displays your images. You can use the HTML layout to

post your images on a Web page, or for printing the

images.

IMPORTANT!

• Remember that creating an “ALBUM” folder (page

174) causes different size versions of each image to

be created in memory. If there is an “ALBUM” folder

in image memory when you specify printing of all

images by a professional print service or on a printer,

you may end up with unwanted multiple prints of the

same image. To avoid this problem, use the

procedure under “To delete an album” on page 185

to delete the ALBUM folder.

NOTE

I Auto Album Creation On/Off

• Depending on the number of images in memory, it

can take quite a bit of time to complete auto album

creation when you turn off the camera. If you do not

plan to use the album feature, we suggest that you

keep auto album creation turned off, which shortens

the amount of time the camera takes to power down

completely.

This setting controls whether an album is created

automatically whenever you turn off the camera.

To do this:

Select this option:

Turn on auto album creation On

Turn off auto album creation Off

• When auto album creation is turned on, an album is

created automatically in built-in memory or on the

memory card whenever you turn off the camera.

IMPORTANT!

• When you turn off the camera while auto album

creation is turned on, the monitor screen turns off,

but the operation lamp continues to flash for a few

seconds to indicate that the album creation process

is being performed. Never open the battery

compartment cover or remove the memory card

while the green operation lamp is flashing.

NOTE

Saving an Album

• When printing an album page, you should set up

your Web browser as described below.

— Select the browser frame where the images are

located.

— Set margins to the lowest possible values.

— Set the background color to a printable color.

• See the user documentation that came with your

Web browser application for details about printing

and configuring settings for printing.

• Album contents (titles, comments, etc.) cannot be

edited on the camera. Use a commercially available

HTML file editor to edit album contents.

• To save an album, copy the “DCIM” folder from camera

memory or the memory card to your computer’s hard disk,

a CD-R, an MO disk, or some other storage medium.

Note that copying only the “ALBUM” folder, does not copy

image data and other necessary files.

• After copying the “DCIM” folder, do not change or delete

any of the files inside of it. Adding new images or deleting

existing images may lead to abnormal album display.

• If you plan to use a memory card again after saving its

album, first delete all of its files or format it before loading

it into the camera.

• When you have “WEB” selected for the “Use” setting, the

album shows only the smaller image files stored in the

“ALBUM” folder. Such images can be uploaded to the

Internet more quickly.

If you have problems installing the USB driver...

You may not be able to install the USB driver properly if you use the USB cable to connect the camera to a computer running

Windows 98 before installing the USB driver from the bundled CD-ROM (CASIO Digital Camera Software), or if you have

another type of driver installed. This will make it impossible for the computer to recognize the digital camera when it is

connected. If this happens, you will need to re-install the camera’s USB driver. For information about how to re-install the USB

driver, see the USB driver’s “Read me” file on “CASIO Digital Camera Software” CD-ROM that comes bundled with the

camera.

Power Supply

• Use only the special HR-3U rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries to

power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.

• This camera does not have separate batteries for the clock. The date and

time settings of the camera are cleared whenever power is totally cut off

(from both the batteries and AC adaptor). Be sure to reconfigure these

settings after power is interrupted (page 50).

LCD Panel

• The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that

provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that less than 0.01% of the

total pixels are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).

Lens

•

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 lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
