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.

IMPORTANT!
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, or ambient temperature extremes
can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging takes longer than about
five hours, a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully
charged. This is indicated by the back lamp flashing red. If the battery has not been
used for a very long time, charging may be terminated automatically and the back
lamp may start flashing red after only about 60 minutes. In either case, disconnect
the USB cable from the camera and then reconnect it to resume charging.
• Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the [USB] port until you feel it
click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor
communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as
shown in the illustration.
• Pressing [ON/OFF] (Power) while the USB-AC adaptor is
connected to the camera will turn on the camera with
power being supplied by the battery. Because of this,
charging will stop.

While the camera is turned off, connect in the sequence shown below (1, 2).
• If the camera is on, press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn it off before connecting it to
your computer.
IMPORTANT!
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then
reconnect the USB cable.
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take more than approximately five
hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging automatically, even if the
battery is not fully charged. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the
USB cable to restart charging. To complete charging faster, use of the included
USB-AC adaptor is recommended.
• If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate
automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red or go out after only about
60 minutes. In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that comes with the camera
is recommended.
• If you turn on the camera while charging over a USB connection to a computer is in
progress, the camera will establish a USB connection with the computer. Though
charging normally should continue at this time, certain types of computers or
connection environments may stop charging if supply power is low. This will be

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 30 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 215 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• Entering the “ECO Mode” enables low-power operation (page 172).
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ?(Flash Off) for the flash setting
(page 49).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 176, 176).
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 110).
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

25 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 210.
– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
– SDXC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card.
• The above are supported memory card types as of April 2014.
• This camera supports use of SD memory cards of the following types and
capacities: SD memory cards up to 2GB, SDHC memory cards from 2GB up to
32GB, SDXC memory cards from 32GB up to 2TB. 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 cards can slow down processing speeds, and even can make it
impossible to store High Quality movies correctly. Also, use of certain types of
memory cards slows down data transfer and increases the time it takes to record
movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped. The Y indicator on the
monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being dropped. In order to
avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card is
recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the operation
of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card used with this camera.
Preparing a Memory Card
Supported Memory Cards
26 Quick Start Basics

Doing so can cause the image save
operation to fail and even damage the
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
computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down

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 103).
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.
Snapshot Shooting Precautions
37 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

• For information about Flash Range, see page 214.
IMPORTANT!
• Even if you have the Control Panel setting configure for flash, the flash will not fire
unless the flash unit is open.
• When not using flash, press down on the flash unit until it locks into place with a
click.
• 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 214) 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
can cause abnormal image colors.
• Select ?(Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash
photography is prohibited.

51 Snapshot Tutorial
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.
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure.
1. In the REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the (Metering) Control Panel option, and

during movie recording.
• Your camera has a function to reduce wind noise (Wind Noise Cut) when recording
movies (page 111).
.Recording Precautions
• 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 mode at a frame rate setting of “30-120 fps” or

68 Recording Movies
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.
• Using the camera’s built-in memory or 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.
NOTE
• Zoom operations are supported during movie recording (page 52). Zoom is
disabled during high speed movie recording. To use zoom for high speed movie
recording, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start
recording.
• Both Single SR Zoom (page 55) and Multi SR Zoom (page 56) are disabled during

• 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.
• Except for High Speed Movie, Continuous AF (page 110) is performed during
movie recording while “AF” (Auto Focus) or “Macro” is selected for the “Focus”
setting.
• Face Detection is disabled during normal FHD and STD, and high speed movie

102 Advanced Settings (REC MENU)
• Available image sizes are limited for some functions as noted below.
.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.
Example:
• Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be
stored, see page 210.
• For information about movie image size, see page 103.
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 140.

– A 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
– A face of a pet or some other non-human subject
IMPORTANT!
• Face detection cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.
– Some BEST SHOT scenes
– Some ART SHOT scenes
– Movie Mode (Including some BEST SHOT scenes that support High Speed
Movie recording)
– High Speed CS with Prerecord CS (Including some BEST SHOT scenes that
support High Speed CS recording)
• The “Focus” setting is always fixed at “AF” (Auto Focus) whenever “Face
Detection” is being used. If you want to change the “Focus” setting, first select “Off”

• Selecting “O Tracking” can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens
operation while tracking a subject. This does not indicate malfunction.
• With some BEST SHOT scenes, there are restrictions on the use of AF area
settings. Because of this, you may not be able to use certain settings or you may
not be able to specify any AF Area setting.
• While Face Detection (page 108) is turned on, regardless of the current AF Area
setting, “U Spot” (center) focusing will be used automatically whenever a face
cannot be detected for some reason.

Changing the Monitor Screen when Recording (Shooting Info)
Grid
Selecting “On” for this setting displays
grid lines on the monitor screen. The
grid lines provide references that help
you keep the camera vertically and
horizontally straight.
Histogram
Selecting “On” for this setting displays a
histogram on the monitor screen. This
histogram lets you view exposure
information while shooting.
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 high speed movie
recording.
Histogram
115 Advanced Settings (REC MENU)
.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
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.
Movie Range
Selecting “On” for this setting
displays a semitransparent gray
frame on the monitor screen. The
area within the frame is what is
recorded as the movie.
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.

.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 155).
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.

169 Using the Camera with a Computer
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).
• 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 14.
• 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.
Files and Folders
Name and Maximum Number Allowed Example
File
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:
Folders
Folders are named from 100CASIO to
999CASIO.
There can be up to 900 folders in memory.

.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.

.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.
Power Supply
Charging
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.
197 Appendix
.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.
.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.
Battery Precautions
Using the Camera in another Country
198 Appendix
See page 25 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
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
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 182).
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 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.

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

*5 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.

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.

*4 One-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds
• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated
charging shortens battery life.
• The above values are for reference only. They do not guarantee that the specified
battery life will be attained under actual operating conditions.
• Frequency of flash, zoom, Auto Focus, and High Speed CS usage, configured
settings, the amount of time the camera is left turned on, and ambient temperature
in the area where the camera is used all greatly affect recording time and number
of shots values.
