10 Quick Start Basics

rst, charge the battery prior to us:

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. Plug the charger unit into a household power outlet. About 90 minutes are required to reach full charge. The [CHARGE] lamp will go out when charging is complete. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and then remove the battery from the charger.

23 Snapshot Tutorial

hanging the Image Size (Size)

A digital camera image is a collection of small Pixel 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.

MH About image sizes The size of an image indicates how many 2816 pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels Xvertical pixels. . © @2816X2112 size image = Approximately 6 640 million pixels — ©640X480 size image = Approximately be. a 300,000 pixels :

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.

Înore + 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 5 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.

26 Snapshot Tutorial

+ Select ‘Flash Off” for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash photograph is prohibited. + Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: Auto) Wide Angle: 0.1 m to 2.6 m (0.3' to 8.5') Telephoto: 0.6 m to 1.4 m (2.0'to 4.6’) *_ The above values depend on the optical zoom setting.

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.

Tips for Better Auto Shutter Snapshots

+ Using Auto Shutter in combination with Anti Shake (page 64) reduces the chance of image blur even more.

+ While recording with Detect Blur or Detect Smile, keep the camera as still as possible until the recording operation is complete.

If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you

can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.

Detect Blur and Detect Panning may not produce the desired effect when shooting

in an area where dim lighting requires a slow shutter speed, or when the subject is

moving extremely quickly.

Since facial expressions differ from individual to individual, you may experience

problems with getting the camera to release the shutter while Detect Smile is being

used. If this happens, change the trigger sensitivity setting.

The Auto Power Off (page 128) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the

camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 127) is disabled while Auto Shutter

+ Face recognition in the Family First mode is slightly faster than that in the Normal mode. Also, compared with the Normal mode, the Family First mode will not be able to detect faces that are far away and small.

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 recognition.

Face recognition may take a bit longer when you hold the camera sideways. Even if you have the face of a family member pre-recorded, the person's facial expression, shooting conditions, or other factors can make proper detection highest priority assignment) impossible.

Face recognition can be improved by pre-recording multiple versions of the same person's face indoors and outdoors, with different expressions, and at different angles.

The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality settings.

The speed of Normal-speed Continuous Shutter and High-Speed Continuous Shutter depends on the type of memory card loaded in the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting to built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.

Flash is turned off [6] automatically when High-speed Continuous Shutter is selected.

With flash continuous shutter, the flash mode automatically becomes [EX (flash on). You cannot use the self-timer in combination with Normal-speed or High-speed Continuous Shutter.

Note that images recorded with High-speed and Flash Continuous Shutter are of somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded with Normal-speed Continuous Shutter.

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

appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate

malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will

The following BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while shooting a snapshot: Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube.

The Voice Recording scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording a movie.

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 119).

— 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 filering 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

Înore 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.

131 (Configuring Monitor Screen Settings

L [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).

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

À histogram towards the right side results when the overall image is light. À 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

H Operating Environment + Operating Temperature: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) + Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation) + Do not place the camera in any of the following locations. — In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture or dust — Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to extreme temperature or humidity — Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area subjected to strong vibration

Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the camera is moved from the outdoors on a cold winter day into a warm room, can cause water droplets called “condensation” to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera, which creates the risk of malfunction. To prevent condensation from forming seal the camera in a plastic bag before changing locations. Then leave the bag sealed to allow the air inside to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location. After that, remove the camera from the bag and open the battery cover for a few hours.

+ Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.

+ You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the characteristics of lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

H Caring for your camera

+ Never touch the lens or flash window with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and other foreign matter on the lens or flash window can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Use a blower or other means to keep the lens and flash window free of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

+ To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

[| [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.

L [Battery Precautions

H 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 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.

EH 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. À 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

H Precautions during Use

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.

H 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.

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 wi

cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull

the card out the rest of the way and then insert another

+ 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.

H Using a Memory Card

+ SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a Write enabled 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 tum 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 130). 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.)

MORT Write disabled || SAR?

H Memory Card Handling Precautions

Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may experience problems saving high-quality (UHQ, UHQ Wide, 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 Æ 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 responçsibility 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 130) to completely delete the data in built-in memory before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus or EA (Infinity Mode) when shooting a close-up shot. Use the FA (Macro Mode) for close ups (page 58).

There is a vertical line in the monitor screen image.

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.

There is digital noise in images

1)Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with {Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 26) or use lights for illumination.

3)Flash assist or dynamic range may be enabled for snapshots, which can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

A recorded image was not saved

1)Camera power may have been tumed off before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. If the battery indicator shows HI, charge the battery as soon as possible (page 12).

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.

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

Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash mode setting to KA (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 26), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 70).

Possible Cause and Recommended Action

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

Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to EN {Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 26), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 70).

The focus frame does not appear on the monitor screen.

Normally, turning off the camera while “Detect Smile” is selected for Auto Shutter will cause the camera's face recognition setting to change to “Normal”. You will need to change the face recognition setting again after turn on the camera. You can tell the camera to remember the Auto Shutter setting by selecting “On” for the “Auto Shutter” power on default setting (page 68).

Digital zoom (including HD zoom) does not work. The zoom bar indicates zoom only up to a zoom factor of 3.0.

1)The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital zoom (page 43).

2)Date stamping may be tumed on, which will cause digital zoom to be disabled. Turn off date stamping (page 125)

À family members face is not detected correctly, even though the face has been pre- recorded

Though face characteristics were pre-recorded for your family member, the data may have been faulty. Other possible causes may be shooting at an angle or the facial features of the subject. Try re-recording the face of the family member who is not being detected (page 33).

When shooting with Auto Shutter, the shutter does not trigger.

Auto Shutter may not trigger when shooting under very bright or very dark conditions, or when shooting a fast moving subject, etc. Ifthis happens, try changing the Auto Shutter Trigger Sensitivity setting (page 30), or press the shutter button all the way down to release the shutter and shoot the image.
