Getting Acquainted

Battery Handling Precautions

Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following important precautions to avoid problems with batteries.

Caution

• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type lithium dry cell batteries with this camera. Never mix old batteries with new ones. Failure to do so can result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the danger of fire or personal injury.

• Always make sure that the positive [+] and negative [-] ends of the batteries are facing correctly, as noted by the markings on the camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the danger of personal injury or soiling of objects nearby.

• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for more than two weeks.

• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• Never mix batteries of different types.

14

Getting Acquainted

Flash Memory

The camera features flash memory for storage of images. Flash memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory.

Auto Power Off

Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any camera operation for a period of time. Power turns off after about two minutes in the Record Mode or after about five minutes in the Playback Mode.

- To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as you normally do.

POWER ON/OFF

Important!

The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following conditions.

• During Auto Play (page 38)
- When operations are being performed on a computer connected to the camera via the camera's DIGITAL terminal.
- Whenever the AC adaptor is connected to the camera.

15

16

Using AC Power

To power the camera from standard AC power, use the optional AC adaptor (AD-C60).

AC adaptor AC outlet AC power terminal

Caution

AC Adaptor precautions

• Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the camera. Doing so can create the danger of fire or electrical shock. Use only the optional AC adaptor specified for this camera.
• Should the cord of the AC adaptor become damaged (exposed internal wiring or shorts), request a replacement from an authorized CASIO service provider. A damaged AC adaptor cord creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

17

Caution

• Always be sure to use the AD-C60 AC adaptor only. Using any other AC adaptor can cause damage to the camera not covered by the warranty.
- When unplugging the AC adaptor from the wall socket, be sure to grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
- Avoid an undue bending, pulling, and twisting of the AC adaptor's cord, and never try to lengthen the cord by splicing it with other wire.

• Be sure to switch power off before connecting or disconnecting the adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor, even if the camera has batteries installed. If you don't, the camera will turn off automatically when you disconnect the AC adaptor. Even so, you run the risk of damaging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor without first turning power off.
• The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after extended periods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
  • After use turn off the power switch of the camera and unplug adaptor from the AC outlet.

Recording Images

The following procedure provides the basic steps for recording an image.

To record an image

1. Enter the Record Mode.

- Slide the function switch to the REC position.

2. Turn on the camera.

- Slide the POWER switch in the direction indicated by the arrow.

• The POWER switch automatically slides back to its original position when you release it.

- When power comes on, the image of the object that is in front of the camera's lens appears on the LCD.

- You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2 then 1).

3. Set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to the NORMAL position.

- If the object whose image you are recording is about 15 centimeters from the lens (about 6 inches), set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to MACRO. See page 24 for details on using this switch.

Note

- The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Operation

4. Use MODE to enter the resolution mode (FINE or NORMAL) you want.

• Each press of MODE toggles between the Normal Mode and Fine Mode.
- Note that the number of images that can be stored in memory is different depending on whether images are saved in the Normal Mode or Fine Mode. See "Resolution Modes" on page 24 for details.

5. Record the image.

• Compose the image you want to record while viewing it on the LCD.
- It is best to look at the LCD directly, and not from an angle.
• Take care that your finger is not blocking the lens.
- Should the lens become dirty, use the cloth that comes with the camera to clean it off.
- When the image is situated on the LCD as you want it, press the shutter button.
- Press the shutter button lightly to avoid moving the camera. See page 21 for information on how to avoid hand movement.
- The message "WAIT" appears on the LCD for about six seconds along with the image that was recorded when you pressed the shutter button. You can use the camera to take the next picture after the "WAIT" message disappears.
• Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY position and view the image you just recorded.

Recording Images

Caution

- Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while the "WAIT" message is on the LCD. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera memory.

How to avoid hand movement...

Any hand movement when you press the shutter button can causes blurring of the recorded image. Note the following points on avoiding hand movement.

- Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the object on the LCD.

- Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim lighting. The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the object whose image is being recorded. Shutter speed is quite slow for dimly lit objects, increasing the possibility of blurring caused by hand movement.

Fluorescent Lighting

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. The actual extent of the problems depends on what cycle of the fluorescent light's flicker is occurring when the camera's shutter actually releases. For best results, use a commercially available video lights.

21

Operation

Infrared Light

Infrared light generated by a flash or other source can create image color problems, such as red areas being recorded as green. Such color problems will show up in the LCD while you are composing the image.

Shooting Images Outdoors

Strong direct or reflected sunlight can cause recorded images to take on a greenish tinge. This is due to the characteristics of the camera's charge-coupled device (CCD), and it does not indicate malfunction of the camera. One way you can try to minimize this problem is to set the aperture to [●] (F8).

Changing the Lens Orientation

The lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is designed to rotate. This means you can change the angle of the lens without moving the rest of the camera.

Important!

• Do not apply excessive force when rotating the lens body. Doing so can cause serious damage to the lens.
• Do not carry the camera or move it around while holding onto only the lens body.
• Return the lens body to its normal position (with the lens pointing from the front of the camera) before storing the camera.

23

Operation

NORMAL/MACRO Switch

The NORMAL/MACRO switch tells the camera how much distance there will be between the lens and the object whose image you are recording. The following table describes the conditions covered by each switch setting.

Switch position		NORMAL	MACRO
Aperture	F2.8(○)	0.5 meters to∞(1.6" to∞)For portraits taken indoors	14 to 18 cm(5.5" to 7")For close ups taken indoors
	F8 (●)	0.3 meters to∞(1' to∞)For general outdoor images	11 to 27 cm(4.3" to 10.6")For outdoor close-ups

* See page 26 for details on how to change the aperture.

Resolution Modes

In addition to a Normal Mode, this camera also has a Fine Mode for saving images using higher resolution. Use the MODE button to switch between the Normal Mode and Fine Mode.

The following table shows how many images can be stored in memory using each resolution mode.

Resolution Mode	Indicator Number of Images
FINE	F	32 (approximately 480-kbit compressed)
NORMAL	N	96 (approximately 160-kbit compressed)

• You can switch between resolution modes at any time before recording an image.

24

Exposure Adjustment

This camera features an automatic exposure (AE) function that automatically changes the shutter speed in accordance with lighting. In addition, you can also manually adjust the exposure to compensate for backlighting, indirect indoor lighting, dark backgrounds, and other special conditions.

To manually adjust the exposure

1. Enter the Record Mode.

- Set the function switch to the REC position.

2. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to manually adjust the exposure.

Recording Images

Record Mode Displays

The following provides details on the images, indicators and messages that appear on the LCD in the Record Mode.

Image Display

An image of the object that is picked up by the camera's lens appears on the LCD. The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Note

- The LCD image that appears in the Playback Mode is more detailed than the image produced in the Record Mode. Because of this, you should consider the Record Mode image to be a reasonable facsimile of the image that is actually stored in memory.

Remaining Pages/Resolution Mode Indicator

Pressing DISP in the Record Mode displays a value that shows how many memory pages are available for recording images, along with the current resolution mode setting (FINE or NORMAL).

1. Enter the Record Mode.

- Set the function switch to the REC position.

Operation

Notes

• Exposure adjustment is generally expressed in terms of an exposure adjustment value. The exposure adjustment value is always set to zero whenever you turn on the camera.
• The exposure adjustment value is changed by 0.25 with each press of [+] or [-] . The range of the value is -2 to +2.
• The exposure adjustment value automatically reverts to zero whenever the shutter button is pressed. You can manually reset the exposure adjustment value by using [+] and [-] to change the value back to zero, which is indicated when the +/- indicator disappears from the monitor.

Changing the Aperture Setting

There are two aperture settings you can use to match lighting conditions. Use the aperture switch to change the aperture setting.

• Use the [●] (F8) setting to decrease exposure. This setting works best outdoors.
• Use the [○] (F2.8) setting to increase exposure. This setting works best indoor and with back lit images.

Note

- Also see page 28 for information about exposure warning indicators.

- The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of precision engineering, with an effective pixel rate of 99.99% . This also means, however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to light or to remain lit at all times.

About the camera's backlight...

• The camera is equipped with a fluorescent light source to provide the back lighting for its LCD.
• The normal service life of the backlight is approximately six years, when the camera is used for about two hours a day.
• Should the LCD image appear abnormally dark, take the camera to your dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider to have the light source replaced. Note that you will be charged for this replacement.
• Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more time than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in the image. These conditions do not indicate malfunction, and normal operation should return at higher temperatures.
