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

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 household

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.  
Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction  
indicated by the arrow.

• 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. You will have to re-  
configure the settings after power is restored.  
• See page 137 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 101, 102).

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 133.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– SD Memory Card  
– SDHC Memory Card  
– MMC (MultiMediaCard)  
– MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)  
Use one of the above types of memory card.  
To load a memory card  
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then  
open the battery cover.  
Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction  
1
indicated by the arrow.

2. Load a memory  
card.  
Positioning the  
memory card so its  
front is facing  
Front  
Back

IMPORTANT!  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 14) into the memory  
card slot.  
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off  
the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center.  
To format (initialize) a new memory card  
You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.  
1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].  
2. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].  
IMPORTANT!  
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete  
its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if  
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format  
the card.  
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on  
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the  
camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can  
result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility,  
operation, etc.

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  
when shooting an image.  
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 57).  
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting  
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an  
image.  
Auto Focus Restrictions  
• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible.  
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject  
– Strongly back lit subject  
– Very shiny subject  
– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern  
– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera  
– Subject in a dark location  
– 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 50) or Manual Focus (page  
48).

Changing the Image Size (Size)  
. Pixels  
A digital camera image is a collection of small  
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are  
in an image, the more detail there will be.  
However, you generally can do with fewer  
pixels when printing an image (L size)  
through a print service, attaching an image to  
e-mail, when viewing the image on a  
computer, etc.  
Pixel  
. About image sizes  
The size of an image indicates how many  
pixels it contains, and is expressed as  
2816  
1
x
horizontal pixels vertical pixels.  
x
2816 2112 size image = Approximately 6  
1
640  
million pixels  
2
x
640 480 size image = Approximately

300,000 pixels  
Unit: pixels  
Image Size Selection Tips  
Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.  
Large Number of Pixels  
* More detail, but takes up more memory. Best when you plan  
to print large-size prints (such as A3 size).  
Small Number of Pixels  
* Less detail, but takes up less memory. Best when you want to  
send images by e-mail, etc.  
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be  
stored, see page 133.

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 depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient  
temperature, etc.) With a fully charged battery it takes anywhere from a few  
seconds to 7 seconds.  
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,  
which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,  
secure the camera with a tripod, etc.  
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with  
exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.  
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source  
can cause abnormal image colors.  
• Select “Flash Off” for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash  
photograph is prohibited.

Telephoto: 0.4 m to 1.5 m (1.3' to 4.9')  
* The above values depend on the optical zoom setting.  
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.  
Other Useful Flash Features  
• Changing the flash intensity (page 60)  
• Compensating for insufficient flash intensity (page 60)

• Detection of the following types of faces is not supported.  
– Face that is obstructed by hair, sunglasses, a hat, etc., or a face in dark shade  
– A profile or a face that is at an angle  
– A face that is very far away and small, or very close and large  
– A face in an area that is very dark  
– The face of a pet or some other non-human subject  
IMPORTANT!  
• Face detection cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.  
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (Movie, For YouTube, Voice Recording)  
• The following functions are disabled when shooting with face detection.

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 38).  
• 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.  
• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical  
zoom setting before you press the shutter button to start movie recording.

after 10 minutes of recording. Movie recording also will stop automatically if  
memory becomes full before you stop movie recording by pressing the shutter  
button.  
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.  
• 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 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.  
Microphone  
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to  
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate  
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will be recorded in  
the case of a movie.  
• Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies,  
which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by » and Y  
flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory  
card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

. BEST SHOT Precautions  
• Selecting the Night Scene or Fireworks 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.  
• Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site  
images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For  
eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are  
stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 94).  
• High Sensitivity  
– The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.  
– High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.  
– When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring  
due to camera movement.  
– Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise  
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the  
camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next  
shot.  
• 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 made 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.

NOTE  
• Above values are for reference only.  
For movie macro, the focus range is a few centimeters within the center distance.  
To focus with manual focus  
1. On the monitor screen, compose the image  
so the subject you want to focus on is within  
the yellow boundary.  
2. Watching the image on the monitor screen  
use [4] and [6] to adjust focus.  
• At this time the image that is within the boundary  
will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids  
Yellow boundary  
in focusing. If you do not perform any operation  
for two seconds while the enlarged image is  
displayed, the screen in step 1 will re-appear.

NOTE  
• Auto Focus can be used when recording snapshots only.  
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus,  
Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell  
you the focus range, as shown below.  
Example: oo cm to 9  
* oo is the actual focusing range value.  
• The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page  
54) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.  
Using Focus Lock  
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to compose an image in  
which the subject you want to focus on is not within the focus frame in the center of  
the screen.  
• To use focus lock, select “U Spot” for the Auto Focus area (page 53).  
1. Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with  
Subject to be focused on  
the subject you want to focus on and then  
half-press the shutter button.  
Focus frame  
2. Keeping the shutter button half-pressed  
(which maintains the focus setting), move  
the camera to compose the image.  
3. When you are ready to shoot the image,  
press the shutter button the rest of the way  
down.  
NOTE  
• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).

While Continuous Shutter is turned on, images are continually recorded until memory  
becomes full, as long as you keep the shutter button depressed.  
Releasing the shutter button stops shooting.  
NOTE  
• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for  
successive images as well.  
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.  
Some BEST SHOT scenes (Movie, For YouTube, Voice Recording)  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until all recording is  
finished.  
• The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality  
settings.  
• The speed of Continuous Shutter depends on the type of memory card loaded in  
the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting to  
built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.  
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with Continuous Shutter.

Using DPOF to Specify Images to be Printed and the Number  
of Copies  
. Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)  
DPOF is a standard that allows you to include image type, number of copy,  
and time stamp on/off information on the memory card with the images.  
After configuring settings, you can use the memory card to print on a home  
printer that supports DPOF or take the memory card to a professional print  
service.  
• Whether or not you will be able to use DPOF settings for printing depends on the  
printer you are using.  
• Some professional print services may not support DPOF.

settings you configured for the images. To clear DPOF settings, specify “00” for the  
number of copies of all images.  
Tell your print service about your DPOF settings!  
If you take a memory card to a professional print service, be sure to tell them that it  
includes DPOF settings for the images to be printed and the number of copies. If you  
don’t, the print service may print all the images without regard to your DPOF settings,  
or they may ignore your date stamp setting.

. Date Stamping  
You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the  
printout of an image.  
Configure DPOF settings (page 74).  
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 99).  
Configuring  
camera settings  
• 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 stamp dates into images using the bundled Photo  
Loader with HOT ALBUM (page 78) software (Windows only).  
Professional  
print service

. Standards Supported by the Camera  
• PictBridge  
This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association  
(CIPA).  
• 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.

Files and Folders  
The camera creates a file and saves it 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.  
• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder  
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.

Folders are named from 100CASIO to  
100th folder name:  
100CASIO  
999CASIO  
There can be up to 900 folders in memory.  
• The BEST SHOT mode (page 42) includes a  
sample scene that optimizes settings for  
auction site images. Depending on your  
camera model, the sample scene is named  
either “For eBay” or “Auction”.

. 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 copies of  
the DCIM folders it to change its name to a date or something similar after you copy  
it to your computer. If you later decided to return the 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 94 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.

the results on the on-screen 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.

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.

• Should you ever notice leakage, strange odor, heat generation, discoloration,  
deformation, or any other abnormal condition while using, charging, or storing a  
battery, immediately remove it from the camera or charger unit and keep it away  
from open flame.  
• Do not use or leave the battery under direct sunlight, in an automobile parked in the  
sun, or in any other area subject to high temperatures. Doing so can damage the  
battery, and cause deterioration of its performance and loss of service life.  
• If battery charging does not end normally within the specified charging time, stop  
charging anyway and contact your local CASIO authorized service center.  
Continued charging creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion.  
• Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery fluid get into your eyes  
accidentally, immediately rinse them with clean tap water and then consult a  
physician.  
• Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the camera and special  
charger unit before using or charging the battery.  
• If a battery is to be used by young children, make sure that a responsible adult  
makes them aware of the precautions and proper handling instructions, and make  
sure that they handle the battery correctly.  
• Should fluid from a battery accidentally get onto clothing or your skin, immediately  
rinse it off with clean tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can cause skin  
irritation.  
. Battery Life  
• Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual represent the  
approximate amount of time before the camera turns off due to low battery power  
when being powered by the special battery under normal temperature (23°C  
(73°F)). They do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated level  
of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by ambient temperature, battery  
storage conditions, the amount of time spent in storage, etc.  
• Leaving the camera on can run down the battery and cause the low battery  
warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever you are not using it.  
• The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to turn off due to low  
battery power. Charge the battery as soon as possible. Leaving a low or dead  
battery in the camera can lead to battery leakage and data corruption.

. Power Supply  
• Use only the special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-60) to power this camera.  
Use of any other type of battery is not supported.  
• The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time  
settings of the camera are cleared about two days after power is cut off from the  
battery. If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is  
restored (page 100).  
. Data Error Precautions  
Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the  
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  
screen (page 131). Perform the action indicated by the message that appears.  
. Operating Environment  
• Operating Temperature: 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 or dust  
– 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.

. Charger Unit 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 authorized  
CASIO authorized service center to request repair. Continued use of a damaged  
power cord creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
• The charger unit 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 charger  
unit.  
• Never use detergent to clean the power cord (especially the plug).  
• Never cover the charger unit with a blanket, etc. Doing so creates the risk of fire.

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. Wait until the camera returns to normal  
temperature. When the camera returns to a temperature where charging can be  
performed, the [CHARGE] lamp will light red.  
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 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.  
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably  
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a  
new one.  
. Storage Precautions  
• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of  
battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use  
up its charge before storing it.  
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left  
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge  
when you need to use the camera.  
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).  
Using 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 14 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 104).  
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.)

. Memory Card Handling Precautions  
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may  
experience problems saving high-quality (HQ, and HQ Wide) movies. Use of certain  
types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause  
»
Y
movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by  
and  
flashing 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 this camera just modify file management  
information of memory card and/or camera main memory. They do not actually  
modify the data itself. Note that management of your data is entirely your  
responsibility. To ensure data security, the following actions are recommended  
whenever you discard or transfer ownership of a memory card or the camera.  
• When discarding a memory card and/or the camera, either physically destroy them  
or completely wipe out all of their data using commercially available software, etc.  
• When transferring ownership of a memory card and/or the camera, completely  
wipe out all of their data using commercially available software, etc., and then use  
the camera’s format function to format the memory card and/or camera main  
memory.
