LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

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

You can record a series of images over a specified
period. This function is useful when recording the
movement of stars, a blooming flower, etc.
*See page 70 for more information.

Time Lapse Movie
You can use this function to record movies of natural
events that occur over time, to speed up the flow of
traffic in a city scene, or to record other similar types of
movies.
*See page 81 for more information.

Art Shot
A variety of artistic effects help to make even common,
ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting.

*See page 67 for more information.

Triple Shot
Pressing the shutter button shoots a burst of three
images and stores them in memory. This feature is
great for making sure you don’t miss those special
moments when kids are around.
*See page 72 for more information.

Quick Start Basics

Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.
• A battery that is still warm immediately after normal use may not charge fully. Give
the battery time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.
If this happens, plug the USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from
the TV or radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
• Never use the power cord with another device.
• Use only the USB-AC adaptor and USB cable specified in this manual for charging.

*
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 20 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
179).
• See page 223 for information about battery life and number of shots.

Battery Power Conservation Tips
• Entering the “ECO Mode” (page 172) enables low-power operation. Note that lowpower operation decreases monitor screen brightness.
• Enable the Auto Power Off (page 176) and the Sleep (page 176) features to protect
against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera.
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 109).

Configuring Basic Settings 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.

IMPORTANT!
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the
Display Language (Language)” (page 180). Note that a version of this manual in
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the
Japanese market.
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language
selection.

Quick Start Basics

Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the
camera.

Use [8] and [2] to select the language
you want and then press [SET].

Use [8] and [2] to select a date style
and then press [SET].

[ON/OFF] (Power)

Example: July 10, 2016
YY/MM/DD * 16/7/10
DD/MM/YY * 10/7/16
MM/DD/YY * 7/10/16

Set the date and the time.
Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to
change and then use [8] and [2] to change it.
To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, use
[4] and [6] to select “24h” and then use [8] and [2]
to change the setting.

After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6]
to select “Apply” and then press [SET].

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the
above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct
the settings.
– Display language: page 180
– Date and time: page 179

NOTE
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they
are subject to change.
• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date
settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults.
Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.

Quick Start Basics

Preparing a Memory Card
Though the camera has built-in memory, its capacity is small. To shoot a large
number of images or long movies, you will need to use a commercially available
memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 218.

Supported Memory Cards
Your camera supports use of the following types of SD memory
cards.
– SD Memory Card (Up to 2GB)
– SDHC Memory Card (2GB to 32GB)
– SDXC Memory Card (32GB to 2TB)
• The above are supported memory card types as of January 2015.
• Values in parentheses are specification values.
• Note that the ability to use any particular card with this camera, even if it satisfies
the above capacity and type requirements, is not guaranteed.

. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, highquality movies may not be able to be stored correctly. A slow memory card can take
too much time to record data and result in breaks in the image and/or audio during
playback. When this happens a yellow “Y” indicator will appear on the monitor
screen.

Quick Start Basics

To load a memory card

Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off
the camera and then open the
battery cover.

Load a memory card.
Positioning the memory card so its back
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.
Back

Front

Back

Close the battery cover.

IMPORTANT!
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 28) 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.

Quick Start Basics

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.

Back lamp

To format (initialize) a new memory card
Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.

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 card on a

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 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 112).

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an
image.

Other Precautions
• The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noticeable noise will
be generated in an image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a
noise reduction at slow shutter speeds. The noise reduction process causes it to
take longer to record images at lower shutter speeds. The shutter speeds for which
noise reduction is performed depend on the camera setup and shooting conditions.
• A noise reduction process is performed when ISO sensitivity is set to a high value.
This can cause the camera to take relatively longer to be ready to shoot again after
you press the shutter button. Do not perform any key operation while the image
recording operation is in progress.
• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.

Quick Start Basics

. 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
– Subject that is too far away for light from the AF assist light to reach
– Camera movement while shooting
– Fast-moving subject
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera

IMPORTANT!
• Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing
some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil
from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can
become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular
habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

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 (page 222) depends on operating conditions (battery
condition, ambient temperature, etc.).
• 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

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.

Description
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-free exposure settings for
a wide range of shooting conditions.

N Center
Weighted

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

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.

Snapshot Tutorial

Shooting with Zoom
Your camera supports the zoom operations described below.
Optical zoom

Zooming is performed by changing the lens focal distance, so
there is no deterioration of image quality.

HD Zoom

Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the
original image and enlarging it, without deterioration of image
quality.

Single SR Zoom

Applies super resolution technology to suppress image
deterioration (page 58).

Multi SR Zoom

Shoots a burst of high-speed images, which are then combined
into a final image in a way that lessens deterioration of image
quality. Multi SR Zoom is enabled only when the “Multi SR
Zoom” recording mode is selected. (page 59)

Digital zoom

A digital process is used to enlarge the center of the image, so
there is deterioration of image quality.

• The maximum zoom factor depends on the image size setting and the digital zoom
on/off settings.

Rotate the zoom controller to zoom.

Recording Movies

Audio
Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio (stereo)
during movie recording.
• Your camera has a function to reduce wind noise (Wind Noise Cut) when recording
movies (page 116).

. Recording Precautions
Microphones
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points
when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphones are not blocked by your
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the
camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.
– Performing a zoom operation while shooting can cause zoom and/or auto focus
noise to be in the audio recording.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked
up in the audio.
• When shooting with the “HS” movie quality at a frame rate setting of
“30-120 fps” or “30-240 fps”, audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at
30 fps. Audio is not recorded at any other frame rates (page 113).

IMPORTANT!
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Use of the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow
down processing speeds. In particular, high-quality movies may not be able to be
stored correctly. A slow memory card can take too much time to record data and
result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. When this happens a
yellow “Y” indicator will appear on the monitor screen.

– Moving subject
– Dark surroundings
• Slide Panorama may stop part way through in the following cases.
– Subject or camera movement
– Camera movement that is too fast or too slow
• Shooting a Slide Panorama image after half-pressing the shutter button to perform
Auto Focus may not produce the desired results if there are considerable
differences in the brightness, color, and/or focus of the individual images. If this
happens, try changing the focus position by focusing on a different subject, etc.
• Since a Slide Panorama image is created by joining multiple images together, there
may be some roughness at the point where two images are joined.

“15 mm” shoots a wider area than “19 mm”.

Hold the camera so it is upright, with the
shutter button and other controls at the
bottom.
• Do not point the camera straight down at the
ground at this time. If you do, the camera’s built-in
vertical/horizontal position sensor will not operate
properly and may make it impossible to start
shooting.

Point the camera at the
subject you want in the
center of the image and then
half-press the shutter button
to focus.
• The outer blue boundary on
the screen indicates the
recordable range of the image.

Instructions
your body to move left or right. A vertical line
Arrow
running through your body should serve as the
axis.
– When sliding the camera vertically, do not allow your body to move upwards
or downwards. A horizontal line between your shoulders should serve as the
axis.
– Take care not to slide the camera diagonally and be sure to maintain a firm
grip on it.
• The camera will start composing the super-wide image internally when the
slide cursor reached the other end of the movement range.
• Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera
during super-wide shooting.

NOTE
• The “15 mm” and “19 mm” angle of view values are approximate and are provided
for reference only. Actual angle of view values are not guaranteed.
• Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting
is fixed at full wide angle.
• This function makes it possible to shoot images with a maximum angle of view of
15 mm or 19 mm. Note, however, that shooting conditions can result in a smaller
angle of view.
• The following conditions are not compatible with Wide Shot shooting.
– Subject whose brightness is very different from that of its surroundings due to
artificial light, sunlight, etc.
– Rivers, waves, waterfalls, or other subject with constantly changing patterns
– Sky, beach, or other subject with continuous patterns
– Camera too close to the main subject
– Moving subject
– Panning upwards on a skyscraper or some other very tall structure or object
– Dark surroundings
• Any of the following can cause Wide Shot operation to stop part way through.
– Subject or camera movement
– Camera movement that is too fast or too slow
– Camera movement outside of the required route
– Camera movement in the wrong direction

Using BEST SHOT

• Shooting a Wide Shot image after half-pressing the shutter button to perform Auto
Focus may not produce the desired results if there are considerable differences in
the brightness, color, and/or focus of the individual images. If this happens, try
changing the focus position by focusing on a different subject, etc.
• Since a Wide Shot image is created by joining multiple images together, there may
be some roughness at the point where two images are joined.
• Shooting under a flickering light source (such as fluorescent lighting) may result in
uneven brightness and/or coloring in the final Wide Shot image.
• The exposure and white balance when shooting Wide Shot images are fixed at the
levels measured when you half-press the shutter button at the beginning of the
operation.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash
Off).

Shooting RAW Images (Raw Image)
You can configure the camera to save a RAW image* along with a standard JPEG
image when shooting snapshots. RAW image data is stored in a camera folder
named “RAW” (page 170).

* A RAW image is image data (file name extension .DNG) that is unprocessed
internally by the camera. Since there is no image deterioration, RAW files provide
more creative freedom when used with software that supports general-purpose
DNG format files.

In the BEST SHOT Mode, select “RAW Image” (page 86).

NOTE
• The image size is fixed at 12M when shooting with this function.
• Single SR Zoom and Digital Zoom cannot be used with this function. Only optical
zoom can be used, up to a maximum zoom factor of 1.3X (35mm when converted
to 35mm film).
• Shooting of RAW image data is not supported for movie recording.

. Pixels and image size
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.
The size of an image indicates how many
pixels it contains, and is expressed as
horizontal pixelsxvertical pixels.

Changing the Monitor Screen when Recording (Shooting Info)
Menu item : Shooting Info
You can use the above procedure to display a grid or histogram, or the movie
shooting range on the monitor screen during recording.

Grid

Selecting “On” for this setting displays
grid lines. The grid lines provide
references that help you keep the
camera vertically and horizontally
straight.
Selecting “On” for this setting displays a
histogram. This histogram lets you view
exposure information while shooting.

Histogram

NOTE
• 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.
• The histogram cannot be displayed during movie recording.

Movie Range

Selecting “On” for this setting
displays a semitransparent gray
frame. The area within the frame is
what is recorded as the movie.

. 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 Exposure Compensation 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.

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.

The next DPOF print operation you execute will be performed using the last 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.
Configuring camera settings
Configure DPOF settings (page 157).
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 Timestamp setting (page 174).
• The camera’s Timestamp 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 Timestamp function. Doing so can cause the two
stamps to be overprinted.
Configuring computer settings
You can use commercially available image management software to date
stamp images.
Professional print service
Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.

Using the Camera with a Computer

Files and Folders
The camera creates a file each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or
perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in
folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.
• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder
Structure” (page 170).
Name and Maximum Number Allowed

Example

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

26th file name:

File

CIM G0026.JPG
Serial number
(4 digits)

Extension

Folders
Folders are named from 100CASIO to
999CASIO.
There can be up to 900 folders in memory.

100th folder name:

100CASIO
Serial number (3 digits)

• When viewing snapshots or playing back movies, the folder name and file name in
the upper right corner of the monitor screen has the meaning described below.
Example: 100-0023: 23rd file in the folder named “100CASIO”.
• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file
names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see page 15.
• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and
quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.

Using the Camera with a Computer

. 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 folders it to
change their names to dates or something similar after you copy them to your
computer. If you later decided to return a DCIM folder to the camera, however, be
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the
folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”
shown on page 170 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

Precautions During Use
. 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
– Shooting with a battery that quickly goes low right after it is charged
• Shooting with a battery that quickly goes low right after it is charged can also
cause camera malfunction. Replace the battery with a new one immediately.
– Other abnormal operations
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor
screen (page 216). Perform the action indicated by the message that appears.

. Operating Environment
• Operating Temperature Requirements: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
• Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation)
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture, dust, or sand
– Near heating or cooling devices, or in other areas subjected to extreme changes
in 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.

Power Supply
Charging
. If the camera’s back lamp starts flashing red...
If the back lamp starts flashing red during charging, it means that further charging is
not possible for one of the reasons below. Perform the actions described below to
correct the problem and then try charging again.

Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery is abnormally high
or low
Unplug the USB cable from the camera and wait for a while until the camera is within
the temperature range of 15°C to 35°C (59°F to 95°F), and then try charging again.

Safety timer activated
A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging
takes longer than about 5 hours, a safety timer will terminate it automatically, even if
the battery is not fully charged. If the battery has not been used for a very long time,
charging may terminate automatically after only about 60 minutes.
1) Using a battery that has not been used for a long time.
Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to resume charging.
2) Insufficient power supply when connected to computer
The camera can be charged only via a USB 2.0 standard USB port. Connect
directly to a USB port what supplies a current of 500mA.
For details about the power supply capacity of a computer’s USB port, contact the
manufacturer of the computer. Though disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB
cable will resume charging, you may need to do so repeatedly if the power supply
capacity of the computer is low.
If problems persist after you perform the above steps or if the battery fails to
charge after 5 hours, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest
CASIO authorized service center.

203

Appendix

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 15°C to
35°C (59°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than
normal or even fail.
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a
new one.

. Storage Precautions
• Storing the 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).
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

Using the Camera in another Country
. Precautions during Use
• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the
power plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera
and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power
supply requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

. Extra Batteries
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-130A) is recommended while on a
trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.

204

Appendix

Using a Memory Card
See page 28 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a
memory card.

. Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the
Write enabled
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
Write disabled
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
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 180).
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 (Blu-ray, DVD, or other optical disk, hard disk, etc.).

. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever possible
use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all operations
can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain
movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to record data,
which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens,
the Y will turn yellow on the monitor screen.

205

Appendix

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

206

Appendix

Reset Initial Default Settings
The tables in this section show the initial default settings that are configured for menu
items (displayed when you press [MENU]) after you reset the camera (page 181).
Menu items depend on whether the camera is in the REC mode or PLAY mode.
• A dash (–) indicates an item whose setting is not reset or an item for which there is
no reset setting.

IMPORTANT!
• Depending on the recording mode, some of the items on the menu that appears
may not be usable.

When things don’t go right...
Troubleshooting
Problem

Possible Cause and Recommended Action

Power Supply
Power does not
turn on.

1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 21).
2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 22). If the
battery goes dead soon after being charged, it means the
battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be
replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-130A
rechargeable lithium ion battery.

The camera
suddenly powers
down.

1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 176). Turn power
back on.
2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 22).
3)The camera’s protection function may have activated
because camera temperature is too high. Turn off the camera
and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again.

Power will not turn
off. Nothing
happens when a
button is pressed.

Remove the battery from the camera and then reload them.

Charging
The back lamp
does not light red
and the battery
won’t charge.

1)Unplug the USB cable from the camera and then plug it back
in again.
2)Remove the battery from the camera and then reload it (page
22).

Image Recording
Image is not
recorded when the
shutter button is
pressed.

1)If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press the shutter button to
enter the REC mode.
2)If the flash is charging, wait until the charge operation
finishes.
3)If the message “Memory Full” appears, transfer images to
your computer, delete images you no longer need, or use a
different memory card.

Auto Focus does
not focus properly.

1)If the lens is dirty, clean it off.
2)The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when
you compose the image.
3)The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is
compatible with Auto Focus (page 40). Use manual focus
(page 47).
4)You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting
with Anti Shake or use a tripod.

210

Appendix

Problem

Possible Cause and Recommended Action

The subject is out
of focus in the
recorded image.

The image may not be focused properly. When composing the
image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame.

The flash does not
fire.

1)If ? (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to
another mode (page 52).
2)If the battery is low, charge it (page 22).
3)If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ? (Flash Off) is selected,
change to a different flash mode (page 52) or select a
different BEST SHOT scene (page 86).

The red ? (Flash
Off) icon is
displayed on the
monitor screen and
the flash does not
fire.

The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO
authorized service center or your original retailer. Note that
though the flash will not fire, you still can use the camera for
non-flash shots.

focus.
2)You may be using ´ (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use
Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 47).
3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus when shooting a closeup shot. Use the ´ (Macro) for close ups (page 47).
There is digital
noise in images.

1)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
52) or use lights for illumination.
3)Lighting (page 114) may be enabled for snapshots, which can
cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other
means to illuminate the subject.
4)Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature
is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to
appear in the movie image. If this happens, move to a cooler
environment or turn off the camera and allow it to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.

211

Appendix

Problem

Possible Cause and Recommended Action

A recorded image
was not saved.

1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save
operation was complete, which will result in the image not
being saved. If the battery indicator shows

52), or adjust Exposure to the + side (page 51).

Night shots come
out bad.

Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 86) when shooting
at night.
• HS Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only)
• HS Night Scene and Portrait (for shooting people against
night scenery)

Subjects are too
dark when shooting
images in a
seashore or ski
area.

Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause
underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to
< (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 52), or adjust
Exposure to the + side (page 51).

Digital zoom will
not go up to the
maximum value.

1)The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital

*1 Built-in memory capacity after formatting (Approx. 48.9MB)
*2 When using a 16GB SDHC memory card (SanDisk Corporation). Number of image and
recording time values depend on the memory card you are using.

*3 The allowable recording time will be shorter if the capacity of the SD memory card you
are using is smaller than the maximum size of one file.

*4 The data transfer rate of built-in memory is not sufficient for FHD and HS movies.
Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card (pages 28, 75).

*5 Values when shooting with Art Shot.
*6 Recordable time when the entire movie is recorded at 30 fps. Recording time is shorter

if the 30 fps frame rate is switched to 120 fps or 240 fps during recording.
• Snapshot and movie recording capacity values are approximate and intended for
reference only. Actual capacity depends on image contents.
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual
values depend on the type of image being shot.
• When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a
percentage of 16GB.
• The time it takes to play back a high speed movie will be different from the time it takes to
record it. If you record a 240 fps high speed movie for 10 seconds, for example, it will
take 80 seconds to play it back.
