Precautions

General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the EX-Z850.

All references in this manual to “camera” refer to the

CASIO EX-Z850 Digital Camera.

• Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the risk of serious accident.

• Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized service center.

• Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician immediately.

• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vision and create the risk of accident.

• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true with young children. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the subject.

• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it get wet. Moisture creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.

• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking care you do not burn your fingers, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.

INTRODUCTION

• Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor besides the one that comes with this camera.

• Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.

• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the risk of fire.

• If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center.

• Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other area where its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

• Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Always keep backup copies of data by transferring them to personal computer memory.

• Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file memory.

INTRODUCTION

Test for proper operation before using the

camera!

Before using the camera to record important images, make sure you first record a number of test images and check the results to ensure that the camera is configured correctly and operating properly.

Data Error Precautions

• Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the following creates the risk of corruption of data in file memory.

— Removing the battery or memory card, or setting the camera onto the USB cradle while the camera is performing a record or memory access operation

— Removing the battery, removing the memory card, or placing the camera onto the USB cradle while the green operation lamp is still flashing after you turn off the camera

— Disconnecting the USB cable, removing the camera from the USB cradle, or disconnecting the AC adaptor from the USB cradle while a data communication operation is being performed

— Low battery power

— Other abnormal operations

Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor screen (page 271). Follow the instructions provided by the message to eliminate the cause of the error.

INTRODUCTION

Operating conditions

• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0

°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.

— In areas subject to direct sunlight

— In areas subject to high humidity or dust

— Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to temperature extremes

— Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun

— In areas subject to strong vibration

Condensation

• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.

• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the new location. If condensation does form, remove the battery from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a few hours.

INTRODUCTION

Power Supply

• Use only the special NP-40 rechargeable lithium ion battery to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.

• This camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time will reset whenever the camera is not supplied power by the battery and/or the USB cradle for about 24 hours. Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted (page 194).

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 lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

Caring for your camera

• Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.

• Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

• If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

Other

• The camera may become slightly warm during use. This does not indicate malfunction.

Power Supply Precautions

Note the following precautions when handling or using the battery and the optional charger.

Battery Handling Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be sure to read the following Safety Precautions before using the battery for the first time.

NOTE

• The term “battery” in this manual refers to the CASIO

NP-40 Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery.

• Use only the USB cradle (CA-31) that comes with the camera or the optionally available charger (BC-30L) to charge the special NP-40 rechargeable lithium ion battery. Never use any other charging device.

• Failure to observe any of the following precautions while using the battery creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion.

— Never use any other type of charger except the optional charger specified for the battery.

— Never try to use the battery to power any device other than this camera.

— Never use or leave the battery near open flame.

— Never place the battery in a microwave oven, throw it into fire, or otherwise expose it to intense heat.

— Make sure the battery is oriented correctly when you load it into the camera or attach it to the optional charger.

— Never carry or store the battery together with items that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead, etc.)

— Never try to take the battery apart, modify it in any way, or expose it to strong impact.

— Do not immerse the battery in fresh water or salt water.

— Do not use or leave the battery under direct sunlight, in an automobile parked in the sun, or in any other area subject to high temperatures.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

42

GETTING READY

• Should you ever notice any of the following conditions while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately remove it from the camera or charger, and keep it away from open flame:

— Fluid leaking

— Emission of a strange odor

— Heat emission

— Battery discoloration

— Battery deformation

— Any other battery abnormality

• If the battery does not achieve full charge after the normal charging time has passed, stop charging.

Continued charging creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion.

• Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse them with clean tap water and then consult a physician.

• Be sure to read page 37 of this User’s Guide and the instructions that come with the optional charger before using or charging the battery.

• If the battery is to be used by young children, make sure that a responsible adult makes them aware of the precautions and proper handling instructions and make sure that they handle the battery correctly.

• Should fluid from the battery accidentally get onto clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can cause skin irritation.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

43

PRECAUTIONS DURING USE

• The battery is designed for use with this CASIO digital camera only.

• Use only the USB cradle that comes with the camera or the specified optional charger to charge the battery.

Never use any other type of charger for charging.

• Use of a battery in cold environments shortens the operating time you can expect on a full charge. Charge the battery in a location where the temperature is in the range of 10

°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside this temperature range can cause charging to take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.

• Very limited operation following a full charge indicates that the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Replace the battery with a new one.

• Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags.

Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead to malfunction.

GETTING READY

BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure you remove the battery from the camera when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery left in the camera discharges very small amounts of power even when power is turned off, which can lead to a dead battery or the need for longer charging before the next use.

• Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20

°C (68°F) or lower).

USING THE BATTERY

• See page 37 of this manual or the instructions that come with the optional charger for information about charging procedures and charging times.

• When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in the camera or stored in its case.

USB Cradle and AC Adaptor Precautions

Caution!

• Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the AC adaptor. Doing so can create the risk of fire or electric shock. Use only the AC adaptor bundled with this camera.

• Do not allow the AC adaptor cord to become cut or damaged, do not place heavy objects on it, and keep it away from heat. A damaged power cord creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Never try to modify the AC adaptor cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric shock.

• Do not overload extension cords or wall outlets. Doing so creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Should the cord of the AC adaptor become damaged (exposed internal wiring), contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. A damaged AC adaptor cord creates the risk of fire or electric shock.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

44

GETTING READY

Caution!

• Use the AC adaptor where it will not be splashed with water. Water creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Do not place a vase or any other container filled with liquid on top of the AC adaptor.

Water creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Make sure you always remove the camera from the USB cradle before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• Charging, USB data communication, and using the Photo

Stand feature can cause the AC adaptor to become warm. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet whenever you are not using it.

• Never place a blanket or any other cover on the AC adaptor. Doing so creates the risk of fire.

Recording an Image

Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the camera’s built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera.

• When an optionally available SD memory card or

MultiMediaCard (MMC) is loaded in the camera, images are stored on the card (page 203).

After purchasing a memory card, be sure to load it into the camera and format it before trying to use it (page

206).

Microphone

NOTE

• Moving the camera as you press the shutter button or while the Auto Focus operation is being performed

(when you press the shutter button half way) can cause blurring of the image. Press the shutter button carefully, taking care to avoid camera movement.

This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.

*2 The amount of time the shutter remains open, allowing light passing through the lens to reach the CCD. A larger shutter speed value indicates that the shutter remains open longer, which means more light reaches the CCD. The camera adjusts this setting automatically.

5.

After making sure that the image is focused properly, press the shutter button the rest of the way down to record.

• The number of images you can record depends on the image size and the image quality setting you are using

(pages 76, 77, 273).

Shutter button

IMPORTANT!

• When the “REC” tab’s “Quick Shutter” setting is turned on (page 81), the camera immediately records the image without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed when you press the shutter release all the way down without pausing. This helps to ensure that you are able to capture exactly the moment you want.

About AF Assist Light

The AF assist light/REC light/ self-timer lamp operates automatically to assist the

Auto Focus operation whenever you are shooting where lighting is dim.

AF assist light/REC light/self-timer lamp

IMPORTANT!

• Do not look directly at the AF assist light/REC light/ self-timer lamp or point it directly at the subject’s eyes.

Recording Precautions

• Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto the USB cradle while the green operation lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.

• Never remove the memory card while an image is being recorded to the memory card.

• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems with recorded images.

• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting

(page 142), the camera automatically adjusts its sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the subject. This can cause some digital noise (graininess) to appear in images of relatively dark subjects.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

60

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

• When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 142), the camera increases sensitivity and uses a faster shutter speed.

Because of this, you need to guard against camera movement if you have flash turned off (page 67).

• Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to appear “washed out”. This tends to happen when recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from the light.

About Auto Focus

• Proper focus may be difficult or even impossible when shooting the following types of subjects.

— Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast

— Strongly backlit subjects

— Very shiny objects

— Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns

— Multiple subjects that are varying distances from the camera

— Subjects in poorly lit areas

— Moving subjects

— Subjects outside the shooting range of the camera

• Proper focus may also be difficult or impossible if the camera is moving.

• Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in focus.

• If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for some reason, try using focus lock (page 87) or manual focus (page 85).

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

About the REC Mode Monitor Screen

• The image shown on the monitor screen in a REC mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual image is recorded in accordance with the image quality setting currently selected on your camera. The image saved in file memory has much better resolution and detail than the REC modes monitor screen image.

• Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down, which causes some digital noise (graininess) in the monitor screen image.

• Very bright light inside of an image 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 (page

118).

Using the Optical Viewfinder

You can conserve battery power by turning off the camera’s monitor screen (page 33) and using the optical viewfinder to compose images. The optical viewfinder also comes in handy when shooting in areas where the monitor screen is difficult to view because available lighting is dim, etc.

IMPORTANT!

• The visible area framed by the viewfinder shows the image that would be recorded at a distance of about one meter (3.3˝). When recording a subject that is closer to you than one meter, the recorded image will be lower than what you can see inside the viewfinder area.

Using Zoom

Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.

Optical Zoom

The optical zoom range is 1X to 3X.

1.

In a REC mode, move the zoom controller left or right to zoom.

• Moving the zoom controller as far as it goes in either direction will zoom at high speed.

2.

Compose the image, and then press the shutter button.

NOTE

• The optical zoom factor also affects the lens aperture.

• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against hand movement when using the telephoto setting

(zoom in).

• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while recording with the Auto Focus mode, Macro mode or manual focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you the focusing range (pages

80, 83, 85).

• Optical zoom is disabled during movie recording.

Digital zoom only is available. Make sure you select the optical zoom setting you want to use before you press the shutter button to start movie recording

(page 120).

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Digital Zoom

Digital zoom digitally enlarges the part of the image at the center of the image screen. The range of digital zoom is 3X to 24X (in combination with optical zoom).

IMPORTANT!

• When you perform a digital zoom operation, the camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the original.

• Digital zoom is not supported while date stamping

(“Date” or “Date&Time”) is turned on (page 147).

3.

Press the shutter button to record the image.

IMPORTANT!

• The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times when you record an image. The initial flashes are pre-flashes, which the camera uses to obtain information that it uses for exposure settings. The final flash is for recording. Make sure that you keep the camera still until the shutter releases.

• Using the flash while “Auto” is selected for the ISO

Sensitivity setting increases sensitivity, which can cause large amounts of digital noise to appear in the image. You can reduce digital noise by using a lower

ISO Sensitivity setting. Note, however, that this also has the effect of shortening the flash range (the range that is covered by the light from the flash)

(page 142).

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Flash On

Select (Flash On) as the flash mode when backlighting causes your subject to appear dark, even though there is enough light to keep the flash from firing automatically.

This will cause the flash to fire and illuminate your subject whenever you press the shutter button (daylight synchro flash).

High-power Flash

Select (High-power Flash) as the flash mode when the subject is relatively far away from the camera.

IMPORTANT!

• Using High-power Flash can cause an increase in digital noise in images.

• High-power Flash disabled when any setting other than “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting.

Make sure that the ISO setting is “Auto” (page 142) when you want to use High-power Flash.

Soft Flash

Select (Soft Flash) as the flash mode to suppress flash intensity and shoot with a soft feel.

About Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. Red-eye reduction causes the camera’s AF assist light/REC light/self-timer lamp to light, which causes the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close. This reduces the chance of red-eye in the image.

IMPORTANT!

• Note the following important points when using redeye reduction.

— Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera during the pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter button, call out to the subjects so they all look at the camera while the pre-flash operation is performed.

— Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the camera.

— Flash intensity (page 71)

— Exposure compensation (EV shift) (page 88)

— ISO sensitivity (page 142)

— Contrast (page 146)

• Using flash assist can cause an increase of digital noise in recorded images.

Flash Precautions

• Take care that your fingers do not block the flash when you hold the camera.

Covering the flash with your finger can greatly reduce its effectiveness.

Flash

• You may not be able to achieve the desired results using the flash if the subject is too close or too far away.

• The flash takes anywhere from a few seconds to as long as 10 seconds to attain full charge after being fired. The actual time required depends on the battery level, temperature, and other conditions.

• The flash does not fire in the modes listed below. The

(Flash Off) icon on the monitor screen indicates that flash is turned off.

Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT mode

• The flash unit may not be able to charge when camera battery power is low. If this happens, the flash will not fire properly and you will not be able to obtain the desired exposure. Be sure to charge the camera’s battery as soon as possible when power goes low.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

• When the flash is turned off ( ), mount the camera on a tripod to record images in an area where available lighting is dim. Recording images under dim lighting without the flash can cause digital noise, which makes images appear coarse.

• When red-eye reduction ( ) is selected, flash intensity is adjusted automatically in accordance with the exposure. The flash may not fire at all when the subject is brightly lit.

• Using flash in combination with another light source

(daylight, fluorescent light, etc.) can result in abnormal image colors.

Using the Self-timer

The self-timer lets you select either a 2-second or 10second delay of the shutter release after you press the shutter button. A Triple Self-timer feature lets you perform three consecutive self-timer operations to record three images.

Specifying Image Size

“Image size” is the size of the image, expressed as the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. A “pixel” is one of the many tiny dots that make up the image. More pixels provide finer detail when an image is printed, but a higher pixel count also causes the image’s file size to be larger.

You can select an image size to suit your needs for greater detail or smaller file size.

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

• The above print sizes are all approximate values when printing at a resolution of 200 dpi (dots per inch). Use a larger setting when you want to print at a higher resolution or when you plan to produce a larger size print.

• In order to obtain the level of resolution for which your camera is designed, recording at a maximum image size

(8M) is recommended. Use a smaller image size when you want to conserve memory capacity.

• Selecting the “3264

× 2176 (3:2)” image size records images with a 3:2 (horizontal:vertical) aspect ratio, which is optimal for printing on photographic paper with an aspect ratio of 3:2.

Specifying Image Quality

Compressing an image before storage can cause a deterioration of its quality. The more an image is compressed, the greater the loss of quality. The image quality setting specifies the compression ratio to be used when an image is stored in memory. You can select an image quality setting to suit your needs for higher quality or smaller file size.

• Note that this setting is valid for snapshots only. For information about movie image quality, see page 119.

Exposure Mode Recording Precautions

• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when recording an image that is very dark or very bright.

If this happens, use the M mode (manual exposure) to adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.

• Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise

(graininess) to appear in the image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that digital noise will be generated in an image.

Also note that the digital noise reduction process can cause it to take longer to record each image.

• At shutter speeds slower than 1/8 second, the brightness of the recorded image may not be the same as the brightness of the image that appears on the monitor screen.

Using Continuous Shutter

In addition to normal recording that records a single image each time the shutter button is pressed, you can select one of the five continuous shutter modes to record multiple images.

• Normal-speed continuous shutter mode

You can continually record images until memory becomes full.

• High-speed continuous shutter mode

Record up to three consecutive images at high speed.

• Flash continuous shutter mode

Use this mode to record up to three consecutive images, firing the flash for each one.

• Zoom continuous shutter mode

In this mode, you can select an area on the monitor screen with a selection boundary. Then when you press the shutter button, the camera records the monitor screen image and the area enclosed in the selection boundary, digitally zoomed to twice its normal size.

• Multi continuous shutter mode

This mode records 25 consecutive stop-action shots at high speed and combines them into a single image.

Restoring an Old Photograph

You can use the procedure in this section to restore an old, faded photograph with the color provided by modern digital camera technology.

Before trying to restore an old photograph

• Make sure the entire photograph you are trying to restore is enclosed within the monitor screen.

• Make sure the object is against a background that allows its outline to stand out, and that it fills the monitor screen to the maximum extent possible.

• Make sure that light is not reflecting off the surface of the original photograph.

• If the old photograph is portrait orientation, be sure to compose the image with the camera in landscape

(horizontal) orientation.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

NOTE

• When the camera is at an angle to the old photograph, one side of the recorded image may appear longer than the side opposite from it. This is called “keystoning,” which is caused by the difference in distance from the camera lens to each side of the photograph. The side of the photograph that is closer to the camera looks longer and the side further from the camera looks shorter. Auto keystone correction corrects for this distortion, which means that a photograph appears normal even if you record it at an angle.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Audio Recording Precautions

• Take care that you do not block the microphone with your fingers.

Using the Histogram

You can use [DISP] to display a histogram on the monitor screen (page 33). The histogram lets you check exposure conditions as you record images. You can also display the histogram of a recorded image in the PLAY mode.

Microphone

• Good recording results are not possible when the camera is too far from the subject.

• Pressing the power button or pressing [ ] (PLAY) stops recording and stores any audio recorded up to that point.

• You can also perform “after-recording” to add audio to a snapshot after recording it, and also change the audio recorded for an image. See page 177 for more information.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

134

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. You can use the histogram to determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) required to bring out sufficient image detail. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift (exposure compensation) to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by correcting exposure so the graph is as close to the center as possible.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

• An RGB histogram that shows the distribution of R (red),

G (green), and B (blue) components is also displayed.

This histogram can be used to determine whether there is too much or too little of each of the color components in an image.

NOTE

• You can use key customization (page 137) to configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [

왗] or [왘] while in a REC mode. If you do this, you can adjust exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram

(page 88).

• When the histogram is too far to the left, it means that there are too many dark pixels.

This type of histogram 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.

• When the histogram is too far to the right, it means that there are too many light pixels.

This type of histogram 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.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

135

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

• A centered histogram indicates that there is good distribution of light pixels and dark pixels. This type of histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

136

IMPORTANT!

• Note that the above histograms are shown for illustrative purposes only. You may not be able to achieve exactly the same shapes for particular subjects.

• 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.

• You may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration due to the limitations of EV shift.

• Use of the flash as well as certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it was recorded.

• The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed for snapshots only.

• The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed for snapshots only. In the following modes, only the luminance distribution histogram appears on the monitor screen.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Multi (Multi pattern)

Multi (Multi pattern) metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions.

Center Weighted

Center weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center of the focus area. Use this metering method when you want to exert some control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera.

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 it being affected by surrounding conditions.

Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals

144

IMPORTANT!

• When “Multi” is selected as the metering mode, certain procedures cause the metering mode setting to change automatically as described below.

• Changing the exposure compensation setting (page

88) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering mode setting to “Center Weighted.” The metering mode changes back to “Multi” when you return the exposure compensation setting to 0.0.

DELETING FILES

DELETING FILES

You can delete a single file, or you can delete all files currently in memory.

IMPORTANT!

• Note that file deletion cannot be undone. Once you delete a file, it is gone. Make sure you really do not need a file anymore before you delete it. Especially when deleting all files, make sure you check all the files you have stored before proceeding.

• A protected file cannot be deleted. To delete a protected file, unprotect it first (page 186).

• Delete cannot be performed when all files in memory are protected (page 187).

• Deleting an audio snapshot deletes both the image file and the audio file attached to it.

FILE MANAGEMENT

FILE MANAGEMENT

The file management capabilities of the camera make it easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against deletion and store the files you want in the camera’s built-in memory.

Folders

Your camera automatically creates folders in its built-in memory or on the memory card.

Memory Folders and Files

An image you record is automatically stored in a folder, whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900 folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 100th folder.

1 0 0 C A S I O

Serial number (3 digits)

Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.

Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next serially numbered folder to be created. File names are generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 26th file

C I M G 0 0 2 6 . J P G

Extension

Serial number (4 digits)

• The folder and file names described here appear when you view folders and files on a computer. See page 32 for information about how the camera displays folder and file names.

• The actual number of files you will be able to store on a memory card depends on image size and quality, card capacity, etc.

• For details about the folder structure, see “Memory Folder

Structure” on page 235.

Remember that the maximum number of images that can be stored in built-in memory depends on the size of each image and other factors.

IMPORTANT!

• Note that an image that has been copied to the

FAVORITE folder and then resized cannot be returned to its original size.

• Files in the FAVORITE folder cannot be copied to a memory card.

USING A MEMORY CARD

USING A MEMORY CARD

You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a commercially available memory card (SD memory card or

MultiMediaCard). You can also copy files from built-in memory to a memory card and from a built-in memory card to built-in memory.

• Normally, files are stored in built-in memory. When you insert a memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card.

• Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

IMPORTANT!

• Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.

• See the instructions that come with the memory card for information about how to use it.

• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to record a movie using the “HQ” image quality setting. Because of this, use of an SD memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

• Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data, which can cause movie frames to be dropped.

and

REC

flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of an SD memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of image data. Note, however, if you write protect an

SD memory card, you must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files.

• Electrostatic charge, digital noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Always maintain backup copies of important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.)

USING A MEMORY CARD

Memory Card Precautions

• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.

• We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal images.

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

SD memory card is recommended.

• Before starting the format operation, check to make sure that the camera’s battery is not low. Battery power going low during formatting can cause improper formatting and creates the risk of memory card malfunction.

• Never open the battery cover while the format operation is being performed. Doing so creates the risk of memory card malfunction.

Copying Files

Use the procedures below to copy files between built-in memory and a memory card.

IMPORTANT!

• Only snapshot, movie, audio snapshot, and voice recording files recorded with this camera can be copied. Other files cannot be copied.

• Files in the FAVORITE folder cannot be copied.

• Copying an audio snapshot copies both its image file and the audio file.

PRINTING IMAGES

PRINTING IMAGES

A digital camera provides you with a variety of different ways to print the images it records. The three main printing methods are described below. Use the method that best suits your needs.

Professional Print Service

The camera’s DPOF feature lets you specify which images you want to print and how many copies of each you want.

For more information, see “DPOF” (page 211).

NOTE

• Certain print service providers may not support

DPOF or may support different printing protocols. In this case, use the protocol supported by your print service to specify the images you want to have printed.

Printing Directly on a Printer Equipped with

a Card Slot, or a Printer that Supports USB

DIRECT-PRINT or PictBridge

After using the camera’s DPOF feature to specify the images you want to print and how many copies of each should be printed, you can plug the memory card into a printer equipped with a card slot, or connect the camera to a PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT printer for printing.

For more information, see “DPOF” (page 211) and “Using

PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT” (page 214).

Printing with a Computer

Windows Users

The camera comes bundled with Photo Loader and

Photohands applications, which can be installed on a

Windows computer for image transfer, management, and printing. For more information, see “Using the Camera with a Windows Computer” (pages 220, 238).

Macintosh Users

The camera comes bundled with Photo Loader for the

Macintosh, which can be installed for image transfer and management, but not for printing. Use commercially available software for printing with a Macintosh. For more information, see “Using the Camera with a Macintosh

Computer” (pages 228, 253).

DPOF

The letters “DPOF” stand for “Digital Print

Order Format”, which is a format for recording on a memory card or other medium which digital camera images should be printed and how many copies of the image should be printed. Then you can print on a

DPOF-compatible printer or at a professional print service in accordance with the file name and number of copies settings recorded on the card.

With this camera, you can select images by viewing them on the monitor screen without needing to remember file names, their locations in memory, etc.

PRINTING IMAGES

• 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 printing service may print all images without regard to your DPOF settings, or date printing may not be performed.

• Note that some professional print services do not support DPOF printing. Check with your service before ordering prints.

• Some printers may have settings that disable date stamp and/or DPOF printing. See the user documentation that comes with your printer for details about how to enable these features.

• If you use the DPOF setting to turn on date stamping for printing on an image that already has date/time stamp data embedded in it (page 147), the two stamps will be superimposed. Because of this, do not turn on DPOF date stamping if an image already has a date/time stamp embedded on it.

Using PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT

You can connect the camera directly to a printer that supports

PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT, and perform image selection and printing using the camera monitor screen and controls. DPOF support

(page 211) also lets you specify which images you want to print and how many copies of each should be printed.

• PictBridge is a standard established by the Camera and

Imaging Products Association

(CIPA).

• USB DIRECT-PRINT is a standard proposed by Seiko

Memory Data

Images recorded with this camera and other data are stored in memory using DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) protocol. DCF protocol is designed to make it easier to exchange image and other data between digital cameras and other devices.

DCF Protocol

DCF devices (digital cameras, printers, etc.) can exchange images with each other. DCF protocol defines a format for image file data and the folder structure for file memory, so images can be viewed using another manufacturer’s DCF camera or printed on a DCF printer.

Precautions

• Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top) folder of all the files in memory. When transferring memory contents to a hard disk, CD-R, MO disk, or other external storage, treat all the contents inside a DCIM folder as a set and always keep them together. You can change the name of the DCIM folder on your computer.

Changing the name to a date is a good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. However, if you even want to copy the folders back to the camera’s file memory, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder back to

“DCIM” first. The camera does not recognize any folder name other than DCIM.

• Memory Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure” shown on page 235 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

Symptom

Vertical lines on the monitor screen.

Out of focus images.

Digital noise in images.

Recording a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image.

Possible Cause

The subject is outside the shooting range of the camera.

Sensitivity is increased automatically for dark subjects. Greater sensitivity increases the chance of digital noise.

Sunlight or light from another source is shining directly into the lens during recording.

Action

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.

Record within the allowable shooting range.

Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens.

Color of the playback image is different from the image on the monitor screen during recording.

Images are not displayed.

A memory card with non-DCF images recorded with another camera is loaded in the camera.
