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 test shots  
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is  
recording correctly.

What you can do with your CASIO camera  
Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to  
make recording of digital images easier, including the following three main functions.  
High Speed CS/Prerecord CS  
Now you can shoot continuous high-resolution  
images at the amazing speed of 30 images per  
second. Prerecord CS pre-records images to ensure  
you are almost never too late with the shutter button.  
See page 48 for more information.  
High Speed Movie  
Movies can be recorded at up to 1000 frames per  
second. This makes it possible to clearly view  
phenomena that are invisible to the human eye, in  
slow motion.  
See page 58 for more information.  
HD Movie Recording  
You can record movies in high-quality HD.

First, charge the battery prior to use.  
Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps  
under “To charge the battery” to bring the battery to a full charge.  
• Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-60) for  
power. Never try to use any other type of battery.  
To charge the battery  
1. Positioning the positive + and  
negative - terminals of the battery  
with those of the charger unit, load  
the battery into the charger unit.  
2. Plug the charger unit into a  
[CHARGE] lamp  
household power outlet.  
About 90 minutes are required to  
reach full charge. The [CHARGE]  
lamp will go out when charging is  
complete. Unplug the power cord  
from the power outlet and then  
remove the battery from the charger.

Other Charging Precautions  
• Use the special charger (BC-60L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-60).  
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.  
To load the battery  
1. Open the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN  
and then open it as indicated by the arrows in  
the illustration.

2. Load the battery.  
Stopper  
With the EXILIM logo on the  
battery facing upwards (in  
the direction of the monitor  
screen), hold the stopper  
next to the battery in the  
direction indicated by the  
Battery contacts  
arrow as you slide the  
battery into the camera.  
Press the battery in until the  
EXILIM logo  
stopper secures it in place.

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 two 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  
147).  
• See page 182 for information about battery life and memory capacity.  
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 149, 149).  
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 86).  
• Avoid unnecessary optical zoom operations.

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 148). Note that a version of this manual in  
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the  
Japanese market.  
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the  
[ON/OFF]  
camera.  
2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select  
[
]
SET  
the language you want and then  
press [SET].  
[BS]  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].  
Example: 30. 12. 09  
YY/MM/DD * 09/12/30  
DD/MM/YY * 30/12/09  
MM/DD/YY * 12/30/09  
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  
[BS].  
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.

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 176.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– SD Memory Card  
– SDHC Memory Card  
Use one of the above types of memory card.  
• Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card  
Association specification.  
. Memory Card Handling Precautions  
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds, and even can make it  
impossible to store High Quality movies correctly. Also, use of certain types of  
memory cards slows down data transfer and increases the time it takes to record  
0
movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped. The “ REC” indicator  
on the monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being dropped. In order  
to avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card  
is recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the  
operation of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card used with this camera.

IMPORTANT!  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 20) 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. On 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.  
• 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.

Shooting a Movie  
[0] (Movie)  
Press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording. Press [0] (Movie)  
again to stop movie recording. See the following pages for  
details.  
Standard movie (STD movie): page 55  
High-definition movie (HD movie): page 57  
High speed movie (HS movie): page 58  
. Using Quick Shutter  
Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record  
using Quick Shutter (page 88).  
• 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.  
. If the subject is not in the center of the frame...  
“Focus lock” (page 81) is a technique you can use when you want to shoot an image  
in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in the center of the  
screen.

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.  
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 91).  
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting  
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an  
image.  
Other Precautions  
• 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. 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.  
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 81) or Manual Focus (page  
79).

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

Using Lag Correction (Lag Correction)  
The Lag Correction function lets you correct for the lag time from the point you decide  
to shoot until the point it takes for the shutter to actually release. This feature actually  
does not speed up shutter release, but instead it pre-records images when you half-  
press the shutter button and saves what occurred slightly before you press the  
shutter button.  
1. In the REC mode, press [SET].  
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the third control panel  
option from the bottom (Lag Correction).

NOTE  
• Lag Correction will not be performed if you press the shutter button all the way  
without first pressing it half way.  
• If the camera’s image size setting is 9M, 3:2, or 16:9 when you shoot with Lag  
Correction, the size of the resulting image will be 6M.  
• The shooting range of Lag Correction is narrower than that of the Single Shot  
mode.  
• The lag correction time you should select depends on a variety of factors. The lag  
from the point when you decide to shoot to the point when the shutter actually  
releases depend on the individual photographer and on shooting conditions.  
Experiment with different settings until you find the one that suits you best.  
• Failure to pay proper attention to the subject when shooting can increase the lag  
time considerably.  
• Note the following when selecting a lag correction time.  
– If you are viewing the subject with the monitor screen, try selecting “0.2” as the  
lag correction time. If you are looking directly as the subject, try “0.1”.  
– If timing is off with the above settings, try changing the lag correction time to  
0.3” when using the monitor screen and “0.2” when looking directly at the  
subject.

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 180) 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  
photography is prohibited.  
Red-eye Reduction  
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the  
eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash  
reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash  
mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the  
image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.  
Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.  
• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking  
directly at the camera (flash).  
• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from  
the camera.

Shooting with Zoom  
Your camera provides you with 3X 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  
3X to 47.8X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 45).  
1. In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.

NOTE  
• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the  
camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image  
deterioration (page 46).  
• 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.  
• Both optical zoom and digital zoom are disabled during high speed movie  
recording.  
Optical Zoom/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.  
• If you do want to use digital zoom, change the “Digital Zoom” setting to “On” (page

available to store the images. With Prerecord CS, half-pressing the shutter button starts  
continual pre-recording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you press the shutter  
button the rest of the way down, the camera stores what is currently in the buffer and starts  
real-time continuous shutter recording of new images. Real-time recording continues until  
you release the shutter button or until a total of up to 30 images (buffer images plus new  
images) are recorded. You can configure Prerecord CS to specify how many of the 30  
images are recorded in the buffer and how many are recorded after you fully press the  
shutter button. Use Prerecord CS when you want to make sure you do not miss fast-moving  
action.

• You can specify 5, 10, 20, or 30 as the maximum number of shots for each  
continuous shutter operation.  
• You can specify anywhere from one second up to 30 seconds as the continuous  
shutter shooting time, which is the amount of time of the pre-record buffer plus the  
amount of time that continuous shutter recording is performed after the shutter  
button is pressed all the way. The maximum shooting time depends on the  
selected CS speed. You can select a CS speed in the range of 3 to 30 fps.

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.  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is  
finished.  
• In the Continuous Shutter mode, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (flash  
off).  
• Zoom is disabled during continuous shutter operations.  
• 9M, 3:2, or 16:9 cannot be selected as the image size while High Speed CS is  
being used. If you enter the High Speed CS mode while one of these image sizes  
is selected, the camera will record 6M size images.  
• The maximum number of images that can be recorded during each High Speed CS  
session is limited, regardless of how much memory card storage capacity is  
available.

Shooting with BEST SHOT  
With BEST SHOT (page 63), you can select the sample scene that matches the type  
of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for  
beautiful movies every time. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for  
example, will shot images with vivid green trees and grass.  
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording  
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during  
HD and STD movie recording (page 83). Note, however, that this does not prevent  
image blur due to subject movement.  
Audio  
Your camera has a built-in microphone that can be used to record audio (monaural)  
during movie recording.  
. Recording Precautions  
Microphone  
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 audio 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.  
• Audio recording cannot be performed while “HS” is selected as the movie mode.

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 slows down data transfer and increases the  
time it takes to record movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped.  
0
The “ REC” indicator on the monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames  
are being dropped. In order to avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High  
Speed Type SD memory card is recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes  
no guarantees about the operation of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card  
used with this camera.  
• 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.  
• When Q Auto Focus” or “´ Macro” is selected for the “Focus” setting,  
Continous AF is performed during HD and STD movie recording, regardless of the  
current “Continuous AF” setting (page 86).

NOTE  
• The higher the frame rate (speed), the more lighting is required when shooting.  
When shooting a high speed movie, shoot in a well-lit environment.  
• When recording certain types of movies, the image that appears on the monitor  
screen may be smaller than normal. When recording a high speed movie, there are  
black bands along the top, bottom, left, and right of the screen.  
• When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal  
bands to appear in the image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.  
• During high speed movie recording, Auto Focus and exposure remain fixed at the  
levels they were when you initially started recording. Zoom and monitor screen  
content switching are all disabled.  
• To focus the image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually  
before starting the high speed movie recording operation.  
Using Prerecord Movie (Prerecord (Movie))  
With this feature, the camera pre-records up to five seconds of whatever is happening  
in front of the lens in a buffer that is continually updated. Pressing [0] saves the  
pre-recorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time  
recording continues until you stop it. Prerecord Movie can be used when shooting a  
standard (STD) movie, a high-definition (HD) movie, or a high speed (HS) movie.  
• When using Prerecord Movie in combination with high speed movie, the buffer will  
store two seconds of pre-recording instead of the usual five.

Shooting with High Speed Night Scene  
(High Speed Night Scene)  
With High Speed Night Scene, the camera detects automatically whether it is being  
hand-held or on a tripod. When you press the shutter button, the camera will record a  
series of images and combine them in a way that minimizes image blur due to low  
light conditions. If the camera detects it is on a tripod, it will shoot a single image  
using a longer exposure time (instead of shooting and combining multiple images),  
which results in an even clearer image.  
1. Press [BS] and then select “High Speed Night Scene”.  
2. When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button.  
• After you press the shutter button, the message “Busy... Please wait...” will  
appear on the monitor screen to indicate that recording is in progress. Keep the  
camera still while this message is displayed. The recording process takes  
some time to complete after the message appears.  
NOTE  
• This BEST SHOT scene saves only a single final image.  
• To cancel this BEST SHOT scene and enter the Continuous Shutter mode, press  
Ç (Continuous Shutter).  
• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than  
normal.  
• Movement while the camera is mounted on a tripod may cause the camera to  
erroneously judge it is being hand held.  
• The flash is always turned off and the flash setting cannot be changed while High  
Speed Night Scene is enabled.  
• For handheld shooting under very dark conditions, this BEST SHOT scene may not  
be able to produce the exposure level required for a clear image. Use of a tripod  
under very dark conditions is recommended.

Shooting with High Speed Anti Shake  
(High Speed Anti Shake)  
When you press the shutter button while High Speed Anti Shake is enabled, the  
camera records multiple images and automatically combines them in a way that  
produces a final image with minimal blur. You can shoot with this feature to minimize  
the effects of camera movement when shooting with optical anti shake does not  
produce the desired results.  
1. Press [BS] and then select “High Speed Anti Shake”.  
2. When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button.  
• After you press the shutter button, the message “Busy... Please wait...” will  
appear on the monitor screen to indicate that recording is in progress. Keep the

Isolating Moving Subjects (Multi-motion image)  
Multi-motion image can be used to isolate a moving subject  
within a series of multiple images and place them against a  
stationary background. Use a tripod or some other means  
to make sure that the camera is not moving or shaking  
when shooting with Multi-motion image.  
Basic Multi-motion image Procedure  
1. Press [BS] and then select “Multi-motion Image”.  
2. Hold down the shutter button to record.  
3. Release the shutter button.  
Continuous Shutter shooting will stop and the resulting composite image will  
appear on the monitor screen.  
• The above procedure shoots multiple images and combines them  
automatically into a final image. Do not move the camera until shooting is  
complete.  
• You can configure the maximum number of CS shots, the CS fps, and  
Prerecord CS shots settings the same way as you configure the High Speed  
CS setting (page 48). Note, however, that the maximum number of CS shots  
for “Multi-motion Image” is 28 instead of 30.

NOTE  
• This BEST SHOT scene saves only a single final image.  
• To cancel this BEST SHOT scene and enter the Continuous Shutter mode, press  
Ç (Continuous Shutter).  
• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than  
normal.  
• Shooting with “Multi-motion Image” assumes that the subject is moving and  
changing positions. Trying to use it to shoot a subject that is moving while  
maintaining the same location (such as a golf swing, a baseball swing, etc.) will  
cause an error message to appear on the monitor screen and failure of image  
recording, or will produce an image in which the shots of the subject are arranged  
incorrectly.  
• Multi-motion will not operate correctly if you shake or move the camera along with  
the movement of the subject.  
• If an error message appears on the monitor screen, either secure the camera so it  
does not move or shoot against a different type of background.  
• If not enough CS images are recorded, an error will be displayed before the  
camera starts to place the isolated subject onto the stationary background. This  
can be caused if you release the shutter button too soon when recording the  
moving subject. Keep the shutter button fully depressed long enough to allow  
recording of more images.  
• Choose a shooting angle so the colors, shapes, and patterns of the moving subject  
and the background are as different as possible.  
• Avoid a shooting angle where the background is monotone or mono-pattern (such  
as a clear blue sky).  
• The camera may not be able to compose the final image if the intervals between  
movements are so narrow the subject shots overlap. If this happens, increase the  
interval by using the control panel to select a slower “High-speed CS fps” setting

Shooting with Priority on Subject Faces  
(High Speed Best Selection)  
With High Speed Best Selection, the camera automatically shoots a series of images,  
and selects the best one based on facial image blur, and facial expression (whether  
the subject is smiling or blinking).  
1. Press [BS] and then select the “High Speed Best Selection” scene.  
2. Press the shutter button to shoot.  
• This will cause the message “Busy... Please wait...” to appear. Do not move  
the camera while this message is displayed. The recording process takes  
some time to complete after the message appears.  
NOTE  
• This BEST SHOT scene saves only a single final image.  
• To cancel this BEST SHOT scene and enter the Continuous Shutter mode, press  
Ç (Continuous Shutter).  
• If one or more of the faces are blurred in all of the images that are shot, they will be  
blurred in the final image as well.  
• The following conditions may make it impossible for the camera to determine if the  
subject is blinking or smiling. This may result in a final image in which the subject is  
blinking or not smiling.  
– Faces that are partially or completely darkened by shadows, etc.  
– Hair that is hiding or near the eyes  
– Eye glasses  
– Small faces  
– Faces that are not looking directly at the camera  
• Shooting a large group of people will cause processing of the image after shooting  
to take longer.

. 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 120).  
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 Timestamp setting (page 147).  
• The camera’s Timestamp 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 Timestamp 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). You can connect the camera directly to a printer that supports  
PictBridge, and perform image selection and printing using the camera  
monitor screen and controls.  
• PRINT Image Matching III  
Using image editing software and printing on a printer that supports  
PRINT Image Matching III makes it possible to use information about  
shooting conditions that is recorded with the image, and produce  
exactly the type of image you want. PRINT Image Matching and  
PRINT Image Matching III are trademarks of Seiko Epson Corporation.  
• Exif Print  
Printing on a printer that supports Exif Print (Exif 2.2) 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 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 142 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.

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 memory card 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 memory card  
file names plus 1.

(+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 red...  
Charging cannot be performed because ambient temperature or the temperature of  
the charger is too hot or too cold. Leave the camera in a location whose temperature  
is within the range where charging can be performed. When the camera returns to a  
temperature where charging can be performed, the [CHARGE] lamp will light red.  
If the [CHARGE] lamp flashes red...  
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.

To replace the battery  
1. Open the battery cover and  
Stopper  
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 charger 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  
charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply  
requirements in your destination(s).  
• Do not connect the charger 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-60) 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 20 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 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 152).  
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 152) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

1)If the lens is dirty, clean it off.  
2)The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when  
you compose the image.  
3)The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is  
compatible with Auto Focus (page 30). Use manual focus  
(page 79).  
4)You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting  
with Anti Shake or use a tripod.  
5)You may be pressing the shutter button all the way without  
waiting for Auto Focus. Half-press the shutter button and  
allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.

• Snapshot and movie recording capacity values are approximate and intended for  
reference only. Actual capacity depends on image contents.  
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual  
values depend on the type of image being shot.  
• The above values are based on use of a PRO HIGH SPEED SD memory card  
(Panasonic Corporation). 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 210 fps high speed movie for 10 seconds, for example, it will  
take 70 seconds to play it back.  
• Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after  
10 minutes of recording.  
• Certain types of memory cards can cause slow data transfer during movie recording,  
which may result in some of the frames of the movie being dropped. In order to avoid this  
problem, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card is recommended. Note,  
however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the operation of any Ultra High Speed  
Type SD memory card used with this camera.  
* Recordable time when the entire movie is recorded at 30 fps. Recording time is shorter if  
the 30 fps frame rate is switched to 210 fps during recording.

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  
160 shots  
2 hours  
Approximate continuous movie recording time (High speed movie)*3 1 hour  
Approximate continuous movie recording time (HD Movie)*3  
50 minutes  
• Battery: NP-60 (Rated Capacity: 720 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 16GB SDHC memory card for a repeated cycle of 10 minutes  
recording followed by deletion of the recorded file.  
• 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.
