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.

4. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera
and then unplug the adaptor from the power outlet.
. To charge using a USB connection to a computer
The battery loaded in the camera is charged whenever the camera is connected
directly to a computer with the USB cable.
• Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the
camera’s battery over a USB connection. If this happens, use of the USB-AC
adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.
IMPORTANT!
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then
reconnect the USB cable.

• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers,
and connection conditions can cause charging to take longer than normal. If
charging takes longer than about six hours, a timer will terminate it
automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. If the battery has not been
used for a very long time, charging may terminate automatically and the back
lamp may start flashing red or go out after only about 30 minutes to 45 minutes.
In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that comes with the camera is
recommended.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as

IMPORTANT!
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.
• A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after
charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.
• If low supply capacity exists due to your computer model or connection conditions,
charging will start without the camera turning on. Turning on the camera in this
case will cause charging to stop and enter USB data communication between the
camera and the computer. The camera’s back lamp will be lit green at this time.
Other Charging Precautions
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s
battery (NP-110) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the
battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-110L). 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 immediately after 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 USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from
the TV or radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
Checking Remaining Battery Power
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates
remaining power as shown below.

• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
106).

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.
Supported Memory Cards
– SD Memory Card (Up to 2GB)
– SDHC Memory Card (2GB to 32GB)
– SDXC Memory Card (32GB to 2TB)
Use one of the above types of memory card.
• The above are supported memory card types as of March 2011.
• Noted memory card capacities are standard values.
• Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card Association specification.
• This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards.
To load a memory card
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the
camera and then 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 a memory card.
Positioning the memory card so its front
is facing upwards (towards the monitor
screen side of the camera), slide it into
the card slot all the way in until you

IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete
its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format
the card.
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the
camera. In the case of an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a
computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with
compatibility, operation, etc.
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi
Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.
• Before formatting an Eye-Fi card, be sure to back up any data on it that you want to
keep.

automatically executes the following operation as required when shooting with
Premium Auto.
– Auto Focus is normally performed until you half-press the shutter button.
– The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses
there.
– When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to ten
individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.
• Shooting with Premium Auto can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens
operation. This does not indicate malfunction.
• When shooting with Premium Auto, the message “Processing Premium Auto.
Please wait...” may appear on the monitor screen. If you feel the camera is taking
too long to process data, try shooting with standard Auto instead.
• In some cases, Premium Auto may not be able to interpret the shooting
environment correctly. If this happens, shoot with standard Auto.

• 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

• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash
photograph is prohibited.
Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the
eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash
reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash
mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the
image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye. This function also performs a
process that corrects for red-eye after the image is recorded.
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.

Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during
movie recording. Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due to subject
movement.
IMPORTANT!
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points
when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
Microphone
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or
a pink cast on the monitor screen image. This does not
indicate malfunction.
• Shooting a movie using the camera’s built-in memory will cause movie frames to
be dropped. Always use a high speed memory card (not built-in memory) for movie
recording.
• 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.
The movie icon 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.
NOTE
• 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.

Using BEST SHOT
BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of
different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the
camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the
camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined
images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.
. To shoot an image with BEST SHOT
1. In the REC mode, touch the second icon
from the top (Recording mode).
• If the icon is not displayed on the screen, touch
the tab to display it.
2. Touch “b” (BEST SHOT).
This will display a menu of BEST SHOT scenes.
3. Touch the scene you want to select.
• Touching “ ” in the upper right corner of the
screen and then touching a BEST SHOT scene
will display detailed information about the scene.
4. Press the shutter button (if you are shooting a snapshot) or touch “b”
(Movie) (if you are shooting a movie).
. BEST SHOT Precautions
• BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.
• Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected
due to shooting conditions and other factors.
• You can modify the camera settings that are configured after you select a BEST
SHOT scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults
when you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.
• Some scenes like Night Scene results in a slow shutter speed setting. Since a slow
shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image, the camera
automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when either of these
scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the image to be
saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not perform any key
operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur
due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.

. 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 80).
You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure
settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.
Configure the Camera’s Time Stamp setting (page 104).
• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you
shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.
• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date
stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two
stamps to be overprinted.
Configuring computer settings
You can use commercially available image management software to date
stamp images.
Professional print service
Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.
. Standards Supported by the Camera

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

The camera creates a file each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or
perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in
folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.
Name and Maximum Number Allowed
Example
File
Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named 26th file name:
CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension
CIMG0026.JPG
on the file name depends on the file type.

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.
• 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.
• A Subject Image File (CIMG

following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.
– Removing the battery or memory card while the camera is performing some
operation
– Removing the battery or memory card while the back lamp is flashing green after
turning off the camera
– Disconnecting the USB cable while communication is in progress
– Using a battery that is low
– Other abnormal operations
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor
. Operating Environment
• Operating Temperature Requirements: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
• Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation)
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture, dust, or sand
– Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to extreme temperature or
humidity
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area subjected to strong vibration
. Condensation
Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the camera is moved from
the outdoors on a cold winter day into a warm room, can cause water droplets called
“condensation” to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera, which creates
the risk of malfunction. To prevent condensation from forming seal the camera in a
plastic bag before changing locations. Then leave the bag sealed to allow the air
inside to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location.
After that, remove the camera from the bag and open the battery cover for a few
hours.
. Lens
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can
scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.
• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a
slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the characteristics of
lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

. Caring for your camera
• Never touch the lens or flash window with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and
other foreign matter on the lens or flash window can interfere with proper operation
of the camera. Use a blower or other means to keep the lens and flash window free
of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
. Old Rechargeable Battery Handling Precautions
• Insulate the positive and negative terminals with tape, etc.
• Do not peel the covering off of the battery.
• Do not try to take the battery apart.
. USB-AC adaptor Handling Precautions
-
0 Never plug the power cord into an outlet whose voltage rating is different from
that marked on the power cord. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction,
and electric shock.
0 Take care to protect the power cord against damage and breaking. Never place
heavy objects onto the power cord, or expose it to intense heat. Doing so can
damage the power cord, creating the risk of fire and electric shock.
0 Never try to modify the power cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or
pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
0 Never plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so
creates the risk of electric shock.
0 Do not plug the power cord into an outlet or extension cord that is shared by
other devices. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
0 Should the power cord ever become damaged (to the point that internal wires
are exposed or cut), immediately contact your original retailer or a CASIO
authorized service center to request repair. Continued use of a damaged power
cord creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
• The USB-AC adaptor becomes slightly warm during charging. This is normal and
does not indicate malfunction.
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the USB-AC
adaptor.
• Never use detergent to clean the power cord (especially the plug).
• Never cover the USB-AC adaptor with a blanket, etc. Doing so creates the risk of
fire.

Power Supply
Charging
. If the camera’s back lamp starts flashing red...
If the back lamp starts flashing red during charging, it means that further charging is
not possible for one of the reasons below. Perform the actions described below to
correct the problem and then try charging again.
Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery is abnormally high
or low
Unplug the USB cable from the camera and wait for a while until the camera is within
the temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F), and then try charging again.
Safety timer activated
A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging
takes longer than about six hours, a safety timer will terminate it automatically, even if
the battery is not fully charged. If the battery has not been used for a very long time,
charging may terminate automatically after only about 45 minutes.
1) Using a battery that has not been used for a long time.
Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to resume charging.
2) Insufficient power supply when connected to computer
Connect directly to a USB port what supplies a current of 500mA.
For details about the power supply capacity of a computer’s USB port, contact the
manufacturer of the computer. Though disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB
cable will resume charging, you may need to do so repeatedly if the power supply
capacity of the computer is low.
If problems continue to occur after you perform the above steps, it could mean that
the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.

To replace the battery
1. Open the battery cover and remove
the current battery.
With the monitor screen side of the
camera facing upwards, slide the
stopper in the direction indicated by the
arrow in the illustration. After the battery
pops out, pull it the rest of the way out of
the camera.
Stopper
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 camera for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of
battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a camera for some time, fully use
up its charge before storing it.
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge
when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

Using the Camera in another Country
. Precautions during Use
• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the
power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the
camera and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the
power supply requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.
. Extra Batteries
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-110) 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
memory card.
To replace the memory card
Press the memory card and then release it. This will
cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull
the card out the rest of the way and then insert another
one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the back
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image
save operation to fail and even damage the memory
card.
. Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the
switch when you need to guard against accidentally
deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD
memory card you must then turn write protection off
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete
any of its images.
Write enabled
Write disabled
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can
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.

121
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you
may experience problems saving high-quality (HD) movies. When using the camera’s
built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take too much time to record
data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This condition is indicated
by the movie icon turning yellow on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the
Camera
• The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to
another party.
– When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or
use commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on
the memory card.
– When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use
commercially available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.

Dynamic Photo! A totally new way to enjoy digital
photography!
Dynamic Photo provides an easy way to insert built-in subjects into snapshots and
movies for a whole new way to enjoy digital imaging.
You can create a Dynamic Photo image by inserting a built-in moving subject into a
background image (snapshot or movie). Before performing the following steps, you
should record the background image (snapshot or movie) into which you want to
insert the moving subject.
• The term “built-in subjects” refers to the moving figures and characters that came
pre-programmed in the camera’s built-in memory.

Creating a Dynamic Photo Image
Your digital camera comes with a number of subjects in its built-in memory (“built-in
subjects”). You can use these built-in subjects to create Dynamic Photo images by
inserting them into your original snapshots or movies.
Step 1: Shoot the image into which you want to insert
an built-in subject.
1. In the REC mode, compose the image and press
the shutter button to shoot a standard
snapshot.
You will insert the built-in subject into the snapshot you
shoot here.
Step 2: Create the Dynamic Photo image.
Now simply insert a built-in subject into the snapshot or movie you shot in step 1 to
create your own original Dynamic Photo image.
1. Press [p] (PLAY) or touch “f” (PLAY) to
enter the PLAY mode.
2. Touch “MENU” and then “Dynamic Photo”.
• If “MENU” is not displayed on the screen, touch the
tab to display it.
3. Touch “ú” or “õ” or drag left or right to select
the background image, and then touch “OK”.
Select the image you want to use as the background.
Here, select the image you recorded in step 1 of this
procedure.
* Only images that are able to be used as background
images will appear for selection at this time.
• Only an image that satisfies the following conditions can be used as a
background image.
– A snapshot or movie recorded with this camera or a snapshot transferred to
this camera’s memory using Photo Transport
– A snapshot with an aspect ratio of 4:3

4. Touch “ú” or “õ” or drag left or right to select
the built-in subject sample you want to insert,
and then touch “OK”.
* Only built-in subjects that can be inserted into other images
will appear at this time.
5. If you are inserting a subject into a movie, use
“y” and “z” to configure the time zone in
the movie where you want the subject to
appear, and then touch “OK”.
• If you insert a subject into a movie, the resulting
movie will be a maximum of 20 seconds long.
Everything before and after the insertion is cut off.
If the movie you are inserting into (original movie)
is shorter than 20 seconds, the resulting movie will
be the same length as the original movie.
Insert location
• If you are inserting a subject into a snapshot, skip directly to step 6.
6. Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of
the subject and drag the subject to change its
location on the screen, and then touch “OK”.
This inserts the subject into another image and
creates a Dynamic Photo.
7. After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is
complete, the finished image will appear on the
monitor screen.
