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.

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.

To charge the battery

1.

Positioning the positive + and negative

-

terminals of the battery with those of the charger unit, load the battery into the charger unit.

2.

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.

To load the battery

1.

Open the battery cover.

Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Preparing a Memory Card

Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.

• For information about memory card capacities, see page 133.

Supported Memory Cards

– SD Memory Card

– SDHC Memory Card

– MMC (MultiMediaCard)

– MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)

Use one of the above types of memory card.

To load a memory card

1.

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

Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Quick Start Basics

IMPORTANT!

• 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.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.

1.

Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

2.

Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].

3.

Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].

IMPORTANT!

• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format the card.

• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc.

Snapshot Shooting Precautions

Operation

• Never open the battery cover while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can result in the image you just shot being saved incorrectly, damage to other images stored in memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.

• If unwanted light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand when shooting an image.

Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots

• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.

• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual

image will be recorded at the quality set for the image quality setting (page 57).

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting

• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an image.

Auto Focus Restrictions

• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible.

– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject

– Strongly back lit subject

– Very shiny subject

– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern

– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera

– Subject in a dark location

– Camera movement while shooting

– Fast-moving subject

– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera

• If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 50) or Manual Focus (page

Changing the Image Size (Size)

.

Pixels

A digital camera image is a collection of small dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are in an image, the more detail there will be.

However, you generally can do with fewer pixels when printing an image (L size) through a print service, attaching an image to e-mail, when viewing the image on a computer, etc.

About image sizes

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

Image Size Selection Tips

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 plan 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

Best when preserving memory capacity is relatively more important than image quality.

Image files are smaller, which is better when attaching images to e-mail. However, images are relatively coarser.

• The initial factory default image size setting is 9M (9 million pixels).

• Selecting 3:2 (3456 x

2304 pixels) records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the standard aspect ratio of print paper.

• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.

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.

• 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

IMPORTANT!

• Face detection cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.

– Some BEST SHOT scenes (Movie, For YouTube, Voice Recording)

• The following functions are disabled when shooting with face detection.

• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera movement when shooting with telephoto.

• Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.

• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical zoom setting before you press the shutter button to start movie recording.

Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom Switch Point

If you hold down the z (Telephoto) side of the zoom button, the zoom operation will stop when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom button and then holding down its z (Telephoto) side will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.

• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

• The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page

24). The smaller the image size,

the higher the zoom factor you can use before reaching the image deterioration point.

• Though digital zoom generally causes a deterioration of image quality, some digital zoom without image deterioration is possible with image sizes of “7M” and smaller. The range in which you can use digital zoom without image deterioration is indicated on the display. The deterioration point depends on the image size.

Remaining recording time

4.

Press the shutter button.

This will start recording and display Y on the monitor screen.

Movie recording includes monaural audio.

5.

Press

again to stop recording.

Recording time

• Each movie can be up to 10 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 10 minutes of recording. Movie recording also will stop automatically if memory becomes full before you stop movie recording by pressing the shutter button.

NOTE

• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• The camera also records audio. Note the following points when shooting a movie.

– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers, etc.

– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is too far away from what you are trying to record.

– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked up in the audio.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to

Microphone appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will be recorded in the case of a movie.

• Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.


39

Recording Movie Images and Audio

• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing the shutter button to start recording.

• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these conditions.

Recording Audio Only (Voice Recording)

Voice Recording lets you record audio only, without a snapshot or movie. You can record about 55 minutes and 35 seconds of Voice Recording using the camera’s built-in memory only.

Using BEST SHOT

What is BEST SHOT?

BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

Some Sample Scenes

.

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 due to shooting conditions and other factors.

• You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

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 74).

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 Time Stamp setting (page 99).

• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.

• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two stamps to be overprinted.

Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions

• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM copies of the DCIM folders it to change its name to a date or something similar after you copy it to your computer. If you later decided to return the folder to the camera, however, be sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had when you copied them from the camera to your computer.

• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure” shown on page 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.

the [4] and [6] buttons so they control the EV shift

setting (page 33), and perform EV shift while viewing

the results on the on-screen histogram.

Histogram

NOTE

• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its histogram is centered.

• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration.

• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is shot.


105

Configuring Monitor Screen Settings

How to Use the Histogram

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as possible. For snapshots, you can even display individual histograms for R (red), G

(green), and B (blue).

Example Histograms

A histogram towards the left side results when the overall image is dark. A histogram that is too far to the left may result in “black out” of the dark areas of an image.

A histogram towards the right side results when the overall image is light. A histogram that is too far to the right may result in “white out” of the light areas of an image.

An overall well-balanced histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness.

Power Supply

Charging

If the [CHARGE] lamp does not light red...

Charging cannot be performed because ambient temperature or the temperature of the charger is too hot or too cold. Wait until the camera returns to normal temperature. When the camera returns to a temperature where charging can be performed, the [CHARGE] lamp will light red.

If the [CHARGE] lamp flashes red...

The battery is faulty or the battery is loaded in the charger incorrectly. Remove the battery from the charger and check if its contacts are dirty. If contacts become dirty, wipe them clean with a dry cloth. When experiencing charging problems, also check to make sure that the power cord is not disconnected from the power outlet or charger.

If problems continue to occur after you perform the above steps, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.

To replace the battery

1.

Open the battery cover and remove the current battery.

With the monitor screen side of the camera facing upwards, slide the stopper in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration. After the battery pops out, pull it the rest of the way out of the camera.

2.

Load a new battery.

Appendix

Battery Precautions

.


• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.

• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to

35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or even fail.

• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

.

Storage Precautions

• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it.

• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge when you need to use the camera.

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).

Using the Camera in another Country

.


• The bundled charger is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera and charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply requirements in your destination(s).

• Do not connect the charger to a power supply through a voltage converter or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

.

Extra Batteries

• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-60) is recommended while on a trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.


117

Appendix

Using a Memory Card

See page 14 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a

memory card.

To replace the memory card

Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert another one.

• Never remove a card from the camera while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

.

Using a Memory Card

• SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card you must then turn write protection off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.

Write enabled

Write disabled

• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during

image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 104).

However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.

• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory card is recommended.

• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.)


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 Y 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.

When things don’t go right...

Troubleshooting

Problem

Power Supply

Power does not turn on.

The camera suddenly powers down.

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

Image Recording

Image is not recorded when the shutter button is pressed.

Auto Focus does not focus properly

The subject is out of focus in the recorded image.

Possible Cause and Recommended Action

1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 11).

2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 10). 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-60 rechargeable lithium ion battery.

1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 102). Turn power

back on.

2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 10).

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.

Remove the battery from the camera and then reload it.

1)If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press [r] (REC) 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.

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 21). Use manual focus

(page 48).

4)You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting with Anti Shake or use a tripod.

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


127

Appendix

Problem

The flash does not fire.

Camera powers down during Selftimer countdown.

The monitor screen image is out of focus.


1)If ? (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to

another mode (page 26).

2)If the battery is dead, charge it (page 10).

3)If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ? (Flash Off) is selected,

change to a different flash mode (page 26) or select a

different BEST SHOT scene (page 42).

The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 10).

There is a vertical line in the monitor screen image.

There is digital noise in images.

A recorded image was not saved.

Though available lighting is bright, the faces of people in the image are dark.

1)You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the

image. Focus the image (page 48).

2)You may be using ´ (Macro Mode) for scenery or portraits.

Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 48).

3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus or ) (Infinity Mode) when shooting a close-up shot. Use the ´ (Macro Mode) for

close ups (page 48).

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

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

26) or use lights for illumination.

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

battery as soon as possible (page 12).

, charge the

2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card before the save operation is complete.

Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash mode setting to < (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page

26), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 33).
