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.

8 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 high-
speed 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.
9Quick 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 unit into a household
power 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.

10 Quick Start Basics
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.
1. Open the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
2. Load the battery.
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
slide the battery into the camera. Press
the battery in until the stopper secures it in
place.

3. Close the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it
closed.

11 Quick Start Basics
Checking Remaining Battery Power
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates
remaining power as shown below.
High * Low
i._i=_ _ior _: Cyan _ Amber _ Red _ Red
indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
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 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).
12 Quick Start Basics
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.
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the camera.
2. use [A], [_'], [<], and [1_] to select the language you want and then
press [SET],
3. Use [A], [_'], [<], and [1_] to select the area
where you will be using the camera and then
press [SET].
The selected area is highlighted in red.
4. use [A] and [V] to select the city where you
will be using the camera and then press
[SET].
5. Use [A] and [V] to select the summer time (DST) setting you want and
then press [SET].
6. use [A] and [V] to select adate style and then press [SET].
Example: 19. 12.09
YY/MM/DD -_ 09/12/19
DD/MM/YY _ 19/12/09
MM/DD/YY --_ 12/!9/09
7. Set the date and the time.
Use [<] and [1_] to select the setting you want to change and then use [A] and
[V] to change it.
To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press [BS].
8. Press [SET].
If you make a mistake, you can change the settings later (pages 100, 101).
_NOTE
Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they
are subject to change.
13 Quick Start Basics
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.
- SD Memory Card
- SDHC Memory Card
- MMC (MultiMediaCard)
- MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)
Use one of the above types of memory card.
_#'PLUS"
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then
open the battery cover.
Pressingthe battery cover, slide it in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
2. Load a memory
Positioning the
memory card so its
front is facing Front Back

slide it into the card slot all the way in until you hear it click securely into place.
3. Close the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it
closed.
For information about how to replace the memory card,
see page 118.
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.
15 Quick Start Basics

20 Quick Start Basics
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.
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).

23 Snapshot Tutorial
• 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 2816
pixels it contains, and is expressed as
horizontal pixelsxvertical pixels.
(_) 28 ! 6 X 2112 size image = Approximately 6 640
million pixels _ ¢_
(_)640X480 size image = Approximately
300,000 pixets
Image Size Selection Tips Unit: pixets
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 ptan
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.
For information about movie image size, see page 58.
For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 67.

VGA Image files are smaller, which is better when
E Mail attaching images to e-mail. However, images
(640X480) 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

26 Snapshot 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.

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

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 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.

mode for information about the exposure levels of
images.
You can use key customization (page 54) to configure
the [,_] and [1_] buttons so they control the EV shift
setting (page 33), and perform EV shift while viewing Histogram
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 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.
B 105 Configuring Monitor Screen 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.

2. Load a new battery.
116 Appendix
• PrecautionsduringUse
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 abattery 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.

Using aMemory 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 offwhenever 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.)
118 Appendix
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
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 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.

Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD
)henomenon 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.
I )Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark
subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with []
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page
26) or use lights for illumination.

The number of image values are approximate and are provided for reference only. The
actual number of images you may be able to record may be less than that indicated on
the monitor screen.
Image files sizes are approximate and are provided for reference only. Actual image file
sizes vary depending on subject type.
The above values are based on use ofa Panasonic brand PRO HIGH SPEED SD
memory card. The number of images you can save depends on the type of memory card
you are using.
When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a
percentage of IGB.
