INTRODUCTION  
• Best Shot  
Features  
Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of  
image you are trying to record and the camera performs  
troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures ev-  
ery time.  
• 2.0 million Effective Pixels  
A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 2.0 million ef-  
fective pixels (2.11 million total pixels) for images that print  
beautifully.  
• DCF Data Storage  
• Fixed focus lens for quick operation  
Fixed focus eliminates the need for lens movement, which  
shortens startup time and shooting time.  
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) data storage  
protocol provides image inter-compatibility between the  
digital camera and printers.  
• 1.6-inch TFT color LCD monitor screen  
• 4X digital zoom  
• Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)  
Images can be printed easily in the sequence you want  
using a DPOF compatible printer. DPOF can also be used  
when specifying images and quantities for printing by pro-  
fessional print services.  
• 12MB flash memory  
Images can be recorded without using a memory card.  
• PRINT Image Matching II Compatible  
• Support for SD memory cards and MMC (MultiMedia  
Cards) for memory expansion  
Images include PRINT Image Matching II data (mode set-  
ting and other camera setup information). A printer that  
supports PRINT Image Matching II reads this data and ad-  
justs the printed image accordingly, so your images come  
out just the way you intended when you recorded them.  
• Easy Charging  
Just place the camera onto the USB cradle to charge its  
battery.  
• Easy Image Transfer  
Transfer images to a computer simply by placing the cam-  
era onto the USB cradle.  
• Bundled with Photo Loader and Photohands  
Your camera comes bundled with the latest version of  
Photo Loader, the popular application that automatically  
loads images from your camera to your PC. Also included  
is Photohands, an application that makes image retouch-  
ing quick and easy.

INTRODUCTION  
* EX-M2 Only  
Precautions  
• Snapshot + Audio Mode  
Adds audio to a snapshot.  
General Precautions  
Be sure to observe the following important precautions  
whenever using the EX-S2/EX-M2.  
• Movie + Audio Mode  
• Voice Recording  
Quick and easy recording of voice input.  
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the cam-  
era” refer to the CASIO EX-S2/EX-M2 Digital Camera.  
• After Recording  
Adds audio to images after they are recorded.  
• Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while  
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so cre-  
ates the danger of serious accident.  
• Audio Player Capabilities  
• Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your  
own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the  
risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave mainte-  
nance and repair work up to CASIO authorized service  
center.  
Use the camera to play back music data from standard  
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) files.  
• Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the  
camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.  
• Keep the connector cover and the other small parts and  
accessories of this camera out of the reach of small chil-  
dren. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician im-  
mediately.  
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a  
motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vi-  
sion and create the danger of accident.

INTRODUCTION  
• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s  
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if  
it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with young chil-  
dren. When using the flash, the camera should be at least  
one meter from the eyes of the subject.  
• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and  
never let it get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and  
electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain  
or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.  
• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,  
immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor power  
cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or  
nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the cam-  
era under these conditions creates the danger of fire and  
electric shock.  
• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming  
out of the camera, immediately turn power off and unplug  
the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet. Using  
the camera under these conditions creates the danger of  
fire and electric shock. After making sure there is no more  
smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest  
CASIO authorized service center for repair. Never attempt  
your own maintenance.  
• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord  
from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs  
of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the  
danger of fire.  
• If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to  
dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,  
immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor power  
cord from the power outlet, and contact your nearest  
CASIO authorized service center.  
• Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other  
areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an  
accident.  
• Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can  
cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure  
to always keep backup copies of data by transferring them  
to personal computer memory.  
• Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor  
from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while re-  
cording images. Doing so will not only make storage of the  
current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image  
data already stored in camera memory.  
• Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device be-  
sides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor be-  
sides the one that comes with this camera.  
• Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other  
cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.

INTRODUCTION  
Condensation  
LED Backlight  
• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or other-  
wise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is  
the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or  
on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunc-  
tion of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to con-  
ditions that might cause condensation.  
• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into  
a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much  
warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the  
plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to  
reach the same temperature as the new location. If con-  
densation does form, remove the battery from the camera  
and leave the battery cover open for a few hours.  
• The monitor screen is illuminated by an LED backlight. A  
dark monitor screen indicates that the LED backlight has  
reached the end of its service life, and needs to be re-  
placed by a CASIO authorized service center. Note that  
you will be charged for LED backlight replacement. The  
LED backlight brightness is reduced by half after about  
1,000 hours of use.  
Lens  
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of  
the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause  
malfunction.  
• Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can inter-  
fere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with  
your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens  
surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe  
the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.

IMPORTANT!  
• The CHARGE lamp flashing red indicates that an error  
occurred while charging. An error can be caused by  
any of the following: a problem with the cradle, a prob-  
lem with the camera, or a problem with the battery or  
how it is loaded. Remove the camera from the cradle  
and see if it works normally.  
• It takes about two hours to achieve a full charge. Ac-  
tual charging time depends on current battery capac-  
ity and charging conditions.  
• Use only the USB cradle to charge the special NP-20  
rechargeable lithium ion battery. Never use any other  
charger device.  
• Use only the bundled AC adaptor. Never use any  
other type of AC adaptor. Do not use optionally avail-  
able AD-C620 and AD-C630 AC adaptors with this  
camera.  
• The USB cradle can be used for charging or USB data  
communication only.  
NOTE  
• USB cradle is designed for operation with any power  
supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC. Note, how-  
ever, that the shape of the AC power cord plug varies  
according to country or geographic area. If you plan to  
use the cradle in another geographic area, you need  
to purchase a commercially available AC power cord  
that is compatible with the power outlets in that area.  
• Make sure that the camera connector of the USB  
cradle is securely inserted into the camera’s connec-  
tor as far as it will go.  
• The CHARGE lamp may remain amber colored and  
the charge operation may not start right away if you try  
to charge immediately after using the camera (which  
causes battery to become warm) or when it is too hot  
or too cold where you are performing the charge op-  
eration. If this happens, simply wait until the battery  
reaches normal temperature. The CHARGE lamp will  
turn red and charging will start when the battery tem-  
perature returns to the allowable charging tempera-  
ture range.

• Recording one image per minute under the above condi-  
tions reduces battery life to about one sixth of that noted  
above.  
• Voice recording times are based on continuous recording,  
while audio playback times are based on continuous output  
(through headphones).  
IITip to Make the Battery Last Longer  
If you do not need the flash while recording, use the menu to  
select  
(flash off) for the flash mode. See page 37 for  
more information.  
• The above values are based a new battery starting from a  
full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery life.  
• Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,  
zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power  
turned on.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING  
• Depending on the distance or angle between the sub-  
ject and the camera, the image you see in the  
viewfinder may not be exactly the image that is re-  
corded.  
Recording Precautions  
• Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the  
USB cradle while the operation/flash charge lamp is flash-  
ing green. Doing so not only causes the current image to  
be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in camera  
memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.  
• Never remove the memory card while an image is being  
recorded 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.  
• The camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accor-  
dance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause  
some static noise to appear in images of relatively dark  
subjects.  
• Press the shutter release gently to avoid camera  
movement.  
About the REC Mode Monitor Screen  
• 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 on memory has much better resolution and detail  
than the REC mode monitor screen image.  
• Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the re-  
sponse of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,  
which causes some static noise in the monitor screen im-  
age.  
• For a dimly lit subject, the camera raises the sensitivity and  
uses a faster shutter speed. Because of this, you need to  
guard against camera movement if you have flash turned  
off (page 37) when recording a dimly lit subject.  
• If unwanted light is shining on the lens, shade the lens with  
your hand when recording the image.

NOTE  
Flash Precautions  
• Take care that your fingers do not block the flash when you

• You can use the key customization feature (page 52)  
to configure the camera so the flash mode changes  
whenever you rock the controller left or right while in  
the REC mode.  
About Red-eye Reduction  
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 is caused when the light from the flash reflects  
off of the retina of the eye. Red-eye reduction fires a pre-  
flash, which causes the irises in the eyes of any people in the  
image to close. This is followed by another flash operation  
when the image is actually recorded.  
Flash  
• The approximate effective range of the flash is shown be-  
low. The flash is unable to adequately illuminate a subject  
that is outside this range.  
1 meter to 2 meters  
• The flash takes anywhere from a few seconds as long as  
10 seconds to attain full charge after being fired. The actual  
time required depends on the battery level, temperature,  
and other conditions.  
IMPORTANT!  
Note the following important points when using red-eye  
reduction.  
• The flash does not fire during movie recording. This is indi-  
• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in  
the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).

Adjusting the White Balance  
The wavelengths of the light produced by various light  
sources (sunlight, 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, to  
make the colors of an image appear more natural.

tions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory re-  
sults even after performing exposure compensation.  
NOTES  
1. In the REC mode, press MENU.  
• Performing an EV shift operation causes the metering  
mode to switch automatically to center weighted me-  
tering. Returning the EV shift value to 0.0 causes the

USING A MEMORY CARD  
You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by  
using a commercially available memory card (SD memory  
card or MultiMedia Card). You can also copy files from built-  
in flash memory to a memory card and from a memory card  
to flash memory.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or  
removing a memory card.  
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it.  
Never try to force a memory card into the slot when  
you feel resistance.  
• See the instructions that come with the memory card  
for information about how to use it.  
• Certain types of cards can slow down processing  
speeds.  
• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which  
you can use to protect against accidental deletion of  
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD  
memory card, you must remove write protection  
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete  
any of its files.  
• Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When  
you insert a memory card, however, the camera automati-  
cally stores files to the card.  
• Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a  
memory card is installed in the camera.

USING A MEMORY CARD  
IMPORTANT!  
Using a Memory Card  
• 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.  
To insert a memory card into the camera  
• If you are not using a memory card, be sure to insert  
the dummy card into this slot to protect against dust  
and damage.  
• The dummy card is intended for use with this camera  
only. Never insert it into the card slot of any other type  
of device.  
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the  
card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the  
battery, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center.  
1. Making sure that the  
contacts of the memory  
card are facing towards  
the top of the camera,  
carefully insert the card  
Contacts  
into the slot as far as it  
will go.  
• Never remove a card from the camera while the op-  
eration/flash charge lamp is flashing. Doing so can  
cause the files save operation to fail, and even dam-  
age the memory card.  
To remove a memory card from the camera  
1. Press the memory card  
into the camera and then  
release it. This will cause  
the card to come part way  
out of the camera.  
2. Pull the memory card out  
of the slot.

USING A MEMORY CARD  
1. Load the memory card into the camera.  
Formatting a Memory Card  
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored  
on it.  
2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC mode  
or PLAY mode and press MENU.  
IMPORTANT!  
3. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format”, and  
then rock the controller to the right.  
• 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, op-  
eration, etc.  
4. Rock the controller up or down to select  
“Format”, and then click.  
• To exit the format operation without formatting, select  
“Cancel”.  
• Note that data deleted by a memory card format op-  
eration cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you  
do not need any of the data on the memory card be-  
fore you format it.  
• Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes  
all the files, even those that are protected (page 65).

USING A MEMORY CARD  
Memory Card Precautions  
Copying Files  
• Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this  
camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any  
other type of card is used.  
Use the procedures below to copy files between built-in  
memory and a memory card.  
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenom-  
ena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Al-  
ways make sure that you always back up important data on  
other media (MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.)  
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can re-  
store normal operation by reformatting it. However, we rec-  
ommend that you always take along more than one  
memory card whenever using the camera far away from  
the home or office.  
To copy all the files in built-in memory to  
a memory card  
1. Load the memory card into the camera.  
2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the PLAY  
mode and press MENU.  
• We recommend that you format a memory card before us-  
ing it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the  
card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal im-  
ages.  
• Before starting a format operation, check to make sure that  
the battery is fully charged. Power interruption during the  
format operation can result in improper formatting, and  
even damage the memory card and make it unusable.  
3. Select the “PLAY”  
tab, select “Copy”,  
and then rock the  
controller to the right.

ware lets you transfer the contents of the camera’s memory  
to your computer quickly and easily. Photo Loader and the  
Photohands application can also be used for high-level im-  
age management and editing.  
• For information about using Photo Loader and  
Photohands, see their user documentation files (PDF) on  
the bundled CD-ROM.  
Connecting the bundled USB cradle to a computer that is  
equipped with a USB port makes it possible to transfer files  
to a computer simply by placing the camera onto the cradle.  
• Note that you need to install a USB driver on your computer  
(page 81). Once you use the cradle to establish a USB con-  
nection, the computer sees the camera as an external stor-  
age device (card reader/writer).  
• If you plan to transfer files from the camera’s built-in  
memory to your computer, make sure there is no memory  
card loaded in the camera. If there is, remove the memory  
card from the camera before you place it onto the cradle.  
NOTE  
• Do not install USB driver from the CD-ROM onto a  
computer running Windows XP, or Mac OS 9 or Mac  
OS X. With these operating systems, USB communi-  
cation becomes enabled simply by connecting the  
camera to the computer with the USB cable.

• Plug the USB cable into the ports securely as far as it  
will go. Proper operation is not possible if connections  
are not correct.  
• Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to the USB cradle  
to supply power to the camera.  
• Do not place the  
camera onto the USB  
cradle while it is turned  
on.  
• The optionally available CASIO QC-1U USB cable  
cannot be used with this camera.  
• Never disconnect the USB cable while the PC is ac-  
cessing camera memory (indicated by a flashing USB  
lamp). Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.  
• You can perform data communication in either the  
REC mode or PLAY mode.  
7. Turn on the camera.  
• When you turn on the camera, it enters the USB Mode  
and automatically transfers the files in camera  
memory to the computer.  
• While the camera is in the USB Mode, the USB lamp  
on the cradle lights green (page 109).

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 ex-  
change image and other data between digital cameras and  
other devices.  
DCF Protocol  
DCF devices (digital cameras, printers, etc.) can exchange  
images with each other. DCF protocol defines camera format  
for image file data and the directory structure for camera  
memory, so images can be viewed using another  
manufacturer’s DCF camera or printed on a DCF printer.  
Using a Commercially Available PC Card Reader/Writer  
and PC Card Adapter (for SD Memory Cards and MMCs)  
See the user documentation that comes with the PC card

USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER  
Image Files Supported by the Camera  
• Image files recorded with the CASIO EX-S2/EX-M2 Digital  
Built-in Memory and Memory Card  
Precautions  
Camera  
• Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top) folder  
of all the files in memory. When transferring memory con-  
tents to a hard disk, MO disk, or other external storage,  
treat all the contents inside a DCIM folder as a set and al-  
ways 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, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder  
back to “DCIM” before you copy it back to memory for play-  
back on the camera. The camera does not recognize any  
folder name other than DCIM.  
• DCF protocol image files  
Certain DCF functions may not be supported. When display-  
ing an image recorded on another camera model, it may take  
a long time for the image to appear on the display.  
• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data  
from memory to other external storage that you reformat  
memory and delete its contents before using it to store  
more files. Remember that formatting memory deletes all  
of its contents. Check to make sure that you no longer need  
any of the files in memory before you format it.
