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.

when it detects the camera is still, the subject is  
smiling, etc.  
See page 30 for more information.  
Make-up Mode  
Point the camera at a person and it automatically  
detects the person’s face for bright, beautiful  
portraits every time.  
See page 34 for more information.  
BEST SHOT  
Simply select the sample scene you want and the  
camera sets up automatically. Then all you need  
do is press the shutter button for perfect images.  
An AUTO BEST SHOT mode automatically selects  
the appropriate BEST SHOT sample scene based  
on current shooting conditions.

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-70) 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  
[CHARGE] lamp  
power outlet.  
About 130 minutes are required to reach full  
charge. The [CHARGE] lamp will go out when

Other Charging Precautions  
• Use the special charger (BC-70L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-70).  
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.

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. You will have to re-  
configure the settings after power is restored.  
• See page 167 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 132, 132).  
Configuring the Display Language 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.

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 163.  
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  
1
open the battery cover.  
Pressing down at the arrow marked on the battery cover,  
slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow 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 hear it click  
securely into place.

IMPORTANT!  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 15) 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.

IMPORTANT!  
• While the “Anti Shake” setting is “D Auto” or “A Camera AS”, half pressing the  
shutter will cause the camera to vibrate and emit an operation sound. This is  
normal and does not indicate malfunction (page 67).  
. Using Quick Shutter  
Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record  
using Quick Shutter (page 70).  
• 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.) Re-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 64) is the name of 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  
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 73).  
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 64) or Manual Focus (page  
62).

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

More detail, but takes up more memory. Best  
when you plan to print large-size prints (such  
as A3 size).

• Selecting 3:2 (3456 2304 pixels) records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which  
matches the standard aspect ratio of print paper.  
• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an  
aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of  
television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible

Soft flash always fires, regardless of exposure conditions  
Flash fires automatically. This type of flash can be used to  
reduce the chance of redness in the subject’s eyes.  
3. Press the shutter button to shoot.

N
< indicates the flash will fire.  
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 about 6 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.  
• Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: Auto)  
Wide Angle: 0.15 m to 3.8 m (0.5' to 12.5')  
Telephoto: 0.6 m to 1.7 m (2.0' to 5.6')  
* 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.

Tips for Best Face Recognition Results  
• The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.  
• Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when  
shooting with face recognition.  
• Even if you have the face of a family member pre-recorded, the person’s facial  
expression, shooting conditions, or other factors can make proper detection  
(highest priority assignment) impossible.  
• Face recognition can be improved by pre-recording multiple versions of the same  
person’s face indoors and outdoors, with different expressions, and at different  
angles.  
• 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 recognition cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.  
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (ID Photo, Business cards and documents, White  
board, etc., Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)  
– Movie Recording

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 (AUTO BEST SHOT, ID Photo, Business cards and  
documents, White board, etc., Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice  
Recording)  
– Make-up  
• The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality  
settings.  
• The speed of Normal-speed Continuous Shutter and High-Speed 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.  
• Flash is turned off ? automatically when High-speed Continuous Shutter is  
selected.  
• With flash continuous shutter, the flash mode automatically becomes < (flash on).  
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with Normal-speed or High-speed  
Continuous Shutter.  
• Note that images recorded with High-speed and Flash Continuous Shutter are of  
somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded  
with Normal-speed Continuous Shutter.  
• The ISO sensitivity setting always is “Auto” for High-speed and Flash Continuous  
Shutter, regardless of the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.  
• The flash range for Flash Continuous Shutter is narrower than that for normal flash.

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 45).  
• 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 [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.  
Optical Zoom and 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.  
• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

Shooting with BEST SHOT  
With BEST SHOT (page 51), 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 BEST SHOT scene named Night Scene,  
for example, will configure the camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.  
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording  
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during  
movie recording (page 67). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due  
to subject movement and it makes the field of view narrower.

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.  
Microphone  
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can  
cause button noise to be picked up in the audio.  
• 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.  
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical  
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing  
[0] to start recording.  
• 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.  
• Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while shooting a movie (page  
62).

Using BEST SHOT  
What is 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.  
Some Sample Scenes  
Portrait  
Scenery  
Night Scene  
Night Scene Portrait  
To shoot an image with BEST SHOT  
1. In the REC mode, press [BS].  
Currently selected scene  
(with boundary)  
This will display a menu of BEST SHOT scenes.  
• The initial default selection is R (Auto).  
2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to move the  
boundary to the scene you want to select.  
• The scene menu has multiple pages. Use [8] and  
[2] to scroll between menu pages.  
• You can access information about the currently  
selected scene. See page 52 for details.  
• To return to normal snapshot recording, select  
Scene 1 R (Auto). Pressing [MENU] while the  
scene selection screen or scene information  
screen is displayed will cause the boundary to jump  
directly to R (Auto).  
Scene name  
Scene number  
3. Press [SET] to configure the camera with the settings for the currently  
selected scene.  
This returns to the REC mode.  
• The settings of the scene you selected remain in effect until you select a  
different scene.  
• To select a different BEST SHOT scene, repeat the above procedure from  
step 1.

4. Press the shutter button (if you are shooting a snapshot) or [0] (if you  
are shooting a movie).  
NOTE  
• The BEST SHOT YouTube scene sets up the camera for recording movies that are  
optimized for uploading to YouTube. Movies recorded with the YouTube scene are  
stored in a special folder to make them easy to locate for uploading (page 123).  
Maximum recording time while the YouTube scene is selected is 10 minutes.  
. Using Scene Information Screen  
To find out more about a scene, select it with the boundary  
on the scene selection screen, and then slide the zoom  
controller in either direction.  
• To return to the scene menu, slide the zoom controller  
again.  
• To scroll between scenes, use [4] and [6].  
• To configure the camera with the settings for the currently  
selected scene, press [SET]. To return to the scene  
information screen for the currently selected BEST SHOT scene, press [BS].  
. BEST SHOT Precautions  
• The following BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie:  
ID Photo, Business cards and documents, White board, etc., Self-portrait (1  
person), Self-portrait (2 people)  
• The following BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while shooting a snapshot:  
Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube.  
• The Voice Recording scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording  
a movie.  
• 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 123).

• 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.  
Creating Your Own BEST SHOT Setups  
You can save up to 999 camera setups as user BEST SHOT scenes for instant recall  
whenever you need them.  
1. On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select the scene named BEST SHOT  
(Register User Scene).  
2. Use [4] and [6] to select the snapshot or movie whose setup you want  
to save.  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Save”, and then press [SET].  
Your BEST SHOT scene will be assigned the name “Recall User Scene”, along  
with a scene number.

information.  
IMPORTANT!  
• If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you  
can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.  
• Shooting with the self-portrait feature may produce a blurred image when shooting  
in areas where lighting is dim, which results in a very slow shutter speed setting.

NOTE  
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and  
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.  
• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to  
become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.  
• Auto Macro 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

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.

. 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 123 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.

Specifying the File Name Serial Number Generation Rule  
(File No.)  
Procedure  
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * File No.  
Use the following procedure to specify the rule that governs generation of the serial  
number used in file names (page 122).  
Tells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will  
be named using the next sequential number, even if files are deleted or  
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 existing 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 existing file  
names number plus 1.

Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure  
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.  
• You can use key customization (page 70) to configure the [4] and  
[6] buttons so they control the EV shift setting (page 42), and  
perform EV shift while viewing the results on the on-screen  
histogram.  
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.

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 remove the  
Stopper  
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.  
• 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-70) 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 15 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 135).  
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 (WIDE) movies. Use of certain types of  
memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie  
»
Y
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 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 135) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to  
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD  
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate  
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not  
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is  
recorded in the case of a movie.  
There is digital

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.

• Battery: NP-70 (Rated Capacity: 1050 mAh)  
• Recording Medium: 1GB SD memory card (Panasonic brand PRO HIGH SPEED)  
• 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 continuous recording time  
• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated  
charging shortens battery life.  
• Frequency of flash, zoom, and Auto Focus usage, and the time the camera is on  
greatly affects recording time and number of shots values.
