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.

Quick

Start

Basics

Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to
make recording of digital images easier, including the following three main functions.

Face Detection
Point the camera at a person and it automatically
detects the person_s face for beautiful portraits
every time.

Anti Shake
The camera corrects automatically to minimize
image blur due to camera movement and highspeed subject movement.

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.

Quick

Start

Basics

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.

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
power

unit into a household

[CHARGE]

lamp

outlet.

About 90 minutes are required to reach full
charge. The [CHARGE] lamp will go out when
charging is complete. Unplug the power cord
from the power outlet and then remove the
battery from the charger.

Other Charging

Precautions

• Use the special charger (BC-60L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-60).
Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger
can result in unexpected accident.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to
use it.
• Charging the camera's battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

Stopper-

With the EXILIM logo on the battery facing
downwards (in the direction of the lens),
hold the stopper next to the battery in the
direction indicated by the arrow as you

• 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 reconfigure 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
(page 26).
• 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).

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.

about how to replace the memory card,

14

Quick

Start

Basics

• 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.

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 [1_].
3.

Use [A] and [V] to select "Format"

and then press [SET].

• 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.

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.
•

Best when preserving memory capacity is
relatively more important than image quality.
Image files are smaller, which is better when
attaching images to e-mail. However, images
are relatively coarser.

• The initial factory default image size setting is 8M (8 million pixels).
• Selecting 3:2 (3264X 2!76 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
with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.
• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi
print resolution).

Tutorial

_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.
• Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: Auto)
Wide Angle: 0.15 m to 2.8 m (0.5' to 9.2')
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.

Tips for Best Face Detection

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 detection.
• Face detection may take a bit longer when you hold the camera sideways.
• 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

• 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.
- Multi AF

• If the flash fires, the Anti Shake icon [] will remain on the display, even though
Anti Shake does not function during flash photography.
• Shooting with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than
normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.

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

Metering

The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure.
Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and
measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading.
This type of metering provides error-flee exposure settings for a
wide range of shooting conditions.
[D-l[_:i
Wei_

Center weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus
area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want
some level of control over contrast.
Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this
metering method when you want exposure to be set according to
the brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by
surrounding conditions.

• The currently selected metering mode is indicated by an icon on the snapshot
screen. No icon is displayed when "Multi" is selected as the metering mode.

• Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files that
are in the camera's built-in memory or on its memory card. Doing so can cause
problems with the camerds image management data, which will make it impossible
to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter remaining memory
capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or rename an image, do so
only on images that are stored on your computer.
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.

If you are running Mac OS X, you can use the iPhoto application that comes bundled
with the operating system to manage your images. If you are running Mac OS 9, you
will need to use commercially available software.

Precautions

Proper movie playback may not be possible on some Macintosh models. If you
experience problems, try the following.
- Change the movie image quality setting to "Normal" or "LP".
- Upgrade to the latest version of QuickTime.
- Shut down other applications that are running.
Even if proper playback is not possible on your Macintosh, you can use the AV cable
that comes bundled with the camera to connect to the video input terminal a TV or
Macintosh and play back movies that way.

• Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your Macintosh before trying to
play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a
network, from a memory card, etc.

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
Structure" (page 94).

Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named
CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension
on the file name depends on the file type.

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 DClM. The camera is designed to recognize
only a root file with the name DClM. Note the camera aiso 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.

setting (page 33), 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 net 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.

Configuring

Settings

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the
number of pixeIs. 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.

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.

Precautions

@
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so
creates the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Should the power cord ever become damaged (to the point that internal wires
are exposed or cut), immediately contact your original retailer or authorized
CASlO 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 due to the characteristics of the battery, not the

• 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. Reptace 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 wilI require some time to charge
when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (2O°C (68°F) or lower).

•

Precautions

during

Use

• The bundled charger is designed for operation with any power supply in the range
of 10OV to 240V AC, 50/6OHz. 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.

to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during
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.)

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
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.
•

Card or the

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 104) to completely delete the data in built-in memory
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.
