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.

What is a digital camera?

A digital camera stores images on a memory card, so you can record and delete images a countless number of times.

You can use the images you record in a variety of different ways.

Store images on your computer.

Print images.

Attach images to e-mail.

What you can do with your CASIO camera

Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to make recording of digital images easier, including the following three main functions.

First, charge the battery prior to use.

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.

1. 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.

Lamp Status	Description
Lit Red	Charging
Flashing Red	Charger unit or battery problem (page 128)
Off	Charging complete or standing by, due to abnormally high or low ambient temperature (page 128)

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.

1. Open the battery cover.

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

2. Load the battery.

With the EXILIM logo on the battery facing downwards (in the direction of the lens), hold the stopper next to the battery in the direction indicated by the arrow as you slide the battery into the camera. Press the battery in until the stopper secures it in place.

3. Close the battery cover.

Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it closed.

• For information about how to replace the battery, see page 128.

Checking Remaining Battery Power

As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates remaining power as shown below.

Remaining Power	High←→Low
Battery Indicator	→→→→→
Indicator Color	Cyan → Amber → Red → Red

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.

Recording is not possible when l is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.

• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about two days with no power supplied while the battery is dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 112).
• See page 146 for information about battery life and memory capacity.

Battery Power Conservation Tips

• When you do not need to use the flash, select (flash off) for the flash setting (page 35).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 114, 114).

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the Camera

The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.

IMPORTANT!

• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under "Specifying the Display Language (Language)" (page 113). Note that a version of this manual in the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the Japanese market.

• Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the camera.

• Use [], [], [] , and [] to select the language you want and then press [SET].

1. Use [] and [] to select a date style and then press [SET].

Example: 19. 12. 10

YY/MM/DD 10/12/19

DD/MM/YY 19/12/10

MM/DD/YY 12/19/10

1. Set the date and the time.

Use [A] and [B] to select the setting you want to change and then use [A] and [V] to change it. To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press [BS].

1. After setting the date and time, use [<] and [▶] to select "Apply" and then press [SET].

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct the settings.

• Display language: Page 113
• Date and time: Page 112

NOTE

• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they are subject to change.
• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults. Do not remove the battery from the camera for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.

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 142.

Supported Memory Cards

• SD Memory Card
• SDHC Memory Card

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.

2. Load a memory card.

Positioning the memory card so its back is facing upwards (in the direction of the monitor screen), slide it into the card slot all the way in until you hear it click securely into place.

3. Close the battery cover.

Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it closed.

• For information about how to replace the memory card, see page 130.

IMPORTANT!

• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 21) 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 [▶].

3. Use [] and [] 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.
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

To turn power on

To enter the REC mode, press [ON/OFF] (Power) or

[REC]. To enter the PLAY mode, press [RE]

(PLAY).

The back lamp will light (green) momentarily and the camera will turn on. If you are entering the REC mode, the lens will extend from the camera at this time.

• Take care to ensure that nothing is restricting or coming into contact with the lens as it extends. Holding the lens with your hand so it cannot extend creates the risk of malfunction.
• Pressing [▶] (PLAY) while in the REC mode switches to the PLAY mode. The lens retracts about 10 seconds after switching modes.
• The Sleep function or Auto Power Off (pages 114, 114) will turn off power automatically if you do not perform any operation for a preset amount of time.

[ON/OFF] (Power)

Back lamp

To turn off the camera

Press [ON/OFF] (Power).

• You can configure the camera so power does not turn on when you press [REC] or [PLAY]. You also can configure the camera to turn off when you press [REC] or [PLAY] (page 115).

To shoot a snapshot

1. Press [O] (REC) to turn on the camera.

Make sure is on the display. If it isn't, see page 52.

Snapshot mode icon
Remaining Snapshot Memory Capacity (page 142)

2. Point the camera at the subject.

You can zoom the image, if you want.

3. Half-press the shutter button to focus the image.

When focus is complete, the camera will beep, the back lamp will light green, and the focus frame will turn green.

Half-press

When you half-press the shutter button, the camera automatically adjusts exposure and focuses on the subject it is currently pointed at. Mastering how much pressure is required for a half-press and a full-press of the shutter button is an important technique for good-looking images.

4. Continuing to keep the camera still, press the shutter button the rest of the way down.

This records the snapshot.

Full-press

If the image does not focus...

If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.) Re-point the camera at the subject and try to focus again.

If the subject is not in the center of the frame...

"Focus lock" (page 60) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in the center of the screen.

Holding the Camera Correctly

Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the shutter button. When pressing the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera as shown in the illustration below, and keep it still by pressing your arms firmly against your sides as you shoot.

Holding the camera still, carefully press the shutter button and take care to avoid all movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.

Horizontal

Vertical

Hold the camera so the flash is above the lens.

NOTE

Take care that your fingers and the strap do not cover any of the areas indicated in the illustration.
- To protect against accidentally dropping the camera, attach the wrist strap and make sure it is around your fingers or wrist while you are operating the camera.
- Never swing the camera around by its strap.
- The supplied strap is intended for use with this camera only. Never use it for any other purpose.

Viewing Snapshots

Use the following procedure to view snapshots on the camera's monitor screen.

• For information about how to play back movies, see page 71.

1. Press [▶] (PLAY) to enter the PLAY mode.

• This will display one of the snapshots currently stored in memory.
  Information about the displayed snapshot also is included (page 12).

[ ] (PLAY)

• You also can clear the information to view only the snapshot (page 118).
• You can zoom in on the image by pressing the [ ] side of the zoom button (page 72). If you are recording a snapshot that is very important to you, it is recommended that you zoom the image and check its details after recording it.

2. Use [4] and [▶] to scroll between images.

• Holding down either button scrolls at high speed.

Deleting Images

If memory becomes full, you can delete images you no longer need to free up storage and record more images.

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 67).

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 60) or Manual Focus (page 57).

Using the Control Panel

The Control Panel can be used to configure camera settings.

1. In the REC mode, press [SET].

This will select one of the Control Panel icons and display its settings.

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 × vertical pixels.

7M (3072×2304) size image = Approximately 7 million pixels

VGA (640×480) size image = Approximately 300,000 pixels

• Unit: 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 stored, see page 142.
• For information about movie image size, see page 68.
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 77.

To select the image size

1. In the REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [] and [] to select the top Control Panel option (Image Size).
3. Use [4] and [5] to select an image size and then press [SET].

Image Size (Pixels)	Suggested Print Size and Application	Description
10M (3648×2736)	Poster Print	Good detail for better clarity even for images cropped (page 78) from the original
3:2 (3648×2432)	Poster Print
16:9 (3648×2048)	HDTV
7M (3072×2304)	A3 Print	Good detail
4M (2304×1728)	A4 Print
2M (1600×1200)	3.5"×5" Print	Best when preserving memory capacity is relatively more important than image quality.
VGA (640×480)	E Mail	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 "10M".
• Selecting "3:2" 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.
• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi, print resolution).

Using Flash (Flash)

1. In the REC mode, press once.
2. Use [<] and [▶] to select the flash setting you want and then press [SET].

When the "Panel" menu item (page 107) is "Off" (so the Control Panel is not displayed), pressing [▼] (☑ ₱) will cycle through the available flash settings.

Auto Flash	Flash fires automatically in accordance with exposure (amount of light and brightness) conditions.
Flash Off	Flash does not fire.
Flash On	Flash always fires. This setting can be used to brighten a subject that normally comes out dark due to daylight or backlight (daylight synchro flash).
Red Eye Reduction	Flash fires automatically. This type of flash can be used to reduce the chance of redness in the subject's eyes.

1. Press the shutter button to shoot.

indicates the flash will fire.

Back lamp

Flashes orange while the flash is charging to indicate that image recording is disabled.

• You will not be able to take another flash snapshot until the lamp stops flashing orange, which indicates that charging is complete.

• For information about Flash Range, see page 145.

NOTE

• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too close.
• Flash charging time (page 145) depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient temperature, etc.).
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.
• Select "Flash Off" for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash photograph is prohibited.

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.

Other Useful Flash Features

• Changing the flash intensity (page 70)

Using Face Detection (Face Detection)

1. Half-press the shutter button.

The camera will focus and the frames around the faces it focuses on will turn green.

1. Press the shutter button the rest of the way down.

Tips for Best Face Detection Results

• 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)

• easy Mode

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

NOTE

• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen when you half-press the shutter button while "Auto" is selected. These values will appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after you shoot a snapshot.
• If the flash fires, the Anti Shake icon will remain on the display, even though Anti Shake does not function during flash photography.
• The ISO sensitivity setting (page 40) must be "AUTO" for Anti Shake to work.
• Shooting with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement when movement is severe.
• Anti Shake is disabled during movie recording.

Specifying ISO Sensitivity (ISO)

ISO sensitivity is a measure of sensitivity to light.

1. In the REC mode, press [SET].

2. Use [] and [] to select the fifth Control Panel option from the top (ISO Sensitivity).

3. Use [<] and [>] to select the setting you want and then press [SET].

ISO 200	Higher sensitivity	Fast shutter speed (Set for shooting in dimly lit areas.)	Some coarseness (increased digital noise)
ISO 400
ISO 800
ISO 1600

• "AUTO" ISO sensitivity always is applied for movies, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting.

Adjusting White Balance (White Balance)

The white balance setting is retained even if you turn off the camera.

• When "AWB Auto WB" is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. If this happens, select the white balance setting that matches your shooting conditions (Daylight, Overcast, etc.)

Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)

You can manually adjust an image's exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.

• Exposure Compensation Range: -2.0EV to +2.0EV
  Unit: 1/3EV

• In the REC mode, press [SET].

• Use [] and [] to select the third Control Panel option from the bottom (EV Shift).

• Use [] and [] to adjust the exposure compensation value.

[▶]: Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best for light-colored subjects and backlit subjects.

[Decl]: Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

To cancel exposure compensation, change the EV value to 0.0.

1. Press [SET].

This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation value you set remains in effect until you change it.

NOTE

• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.

1. Press the shutter button to shoot the image.

IMPORTANT!

• Digital zoom is disabled while date stamping (page 112) is turned on.

NOTE

• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image deterioration (page 46).
• 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 [A] (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 [A] (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 32). 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.

Image Size	Maximum Zoom Factor	Undeteriorated zoom limit

Recording time

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 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 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 (page 131).
• 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.

• To configure the camera with the settings for the currently selected scene, press [SET]. To return to the

scene information screen for the currently selected BEST SHOT scene, press [BS].

BEST SHOT Precautions

• Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks result 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 105).
  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.

Advanced Settings

The following are menu operations you can use to configure various camera settings.

• For full details, see the user documentation that comes with the Eye-Fi card.
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

IMPORTANT!

• Recorded images are transferred over wireless LAN. Do not use the Eye-Fi card or turn off Eye-Fi card communication (page 108) when on an aircraft or in any other location where use of wireless communication is limited or prohibited.
• Loading an Eye-Fi card will cause the Eye-Fi indicator Eye-Fi to appear on the monitor screen. Its transparent or not transparent appearance indicates the communication status as shown below.

Transparent	Access point cannot be found or no transferable image data exists.
Not transparent	Image transfer in progress

• A communication icon will appear on the monitor screen while image data transfer is in progress.
• The camera's Auto Power Off (page 114) function is disabled while image data transfer is in progress.
• A confirmation message will appear on the monitor screen if you try to turn off the camera while image data transfer is in progress. Follow the instructions in the messages (page 140).
• Transfer of a large number of images can take some time to complete.
• The original images remain on the Eye-Fi card after the image data transfer.
• Recording a movie to an Eye-Fi card may result in movie frames being dropped.
• Proper Eye-Fi card data communication may not be possible due to camera settings, battery level, or operating conditions.

Files and Folders

The camera creates a file and saves it each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.
- For details about how folders are organized in memory, see "Memory Folder Structure" (page 105).

	Name and Maximum Number Allowed	Example
File
	Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension on the file name depends on the file type.	26th file name: CIMG0026.JPG Extension Serial number (4 digits)
Folders
	Folders are named from 100CASIO to 999CASIO There can be up to 900 folders in memory. ·The BEST SHOT (page 52) 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 recorded with the eBay scene are stored in a folder named “100_EBAY”. - Images recorded with the Auction scene are stored in a folder named “100_AUCT”. ·BEST SHOT also has a scene named “For YouTube” that optimizes movie settings for recording movies for upload to YouTube. Images recorded with the YouTube scene are stored in a folder named “100YOUTB”.	100th folder name: 100CASIO Serial number (3 digits)

• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file names are displayed on the camera's monitor screen, see page 12.
• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.

Memory Card Data

The camera stores images you shoot in accordance with the Design Rule for Camera File System (DCF).

About DCF

DCF is a standard that makes it possible to view and print images recorded on one manufacturer's camera on DCF-compliant devices produced by other manufacturers. You can transfer DCF-compliant images recorded with another camera to this camera and view them on this camera's monitor screen.

Memory Folder Structure

• Other folders are created when the following BEST SHOT scenes are used for recording: "For eBay" or "Auction" (scene name depends on camera model), or "For YouTube". The following shows the name of the folder created for each scene.

• eBay scene: 100_EBAY
  Auction scene: 100_AUCT
  YouTube scene: 100YOUTB

Supported Image Files

• Image files shot with this camera
• DCF-compliant image files

This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the image to appear on this camera's monitor screen.

■ Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions

• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM 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 105 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.

Configuring Monitor Screen Settings

You can turn display information on and off by pressing [▲] (DISP). You can configure separate settings for the REC mode and PLAY mode.

Information display on	Displays information about image settings, etc.
Information display + Histogram on	Turns on display of camera setting and other indicators, along with a histogram (page 119) Histogram
Information display off	No information displayed

Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure (+Histogram)

Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the exposure levels of images.

• You can use key customization (page 64) to configure the [▲] and [▶] buttons so they control the EV shift setting (page 42), and perform EV shift while viewing the results on the on-screen 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.

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.

Precautions during Use

Avoid Use While In Motion

• Never use the camera to record or play back images while operating an automobile or other vehicle, or while walking. Looking at the monitor while in motion creates the risk of serious accident.

Directly Viewing the Sun or Bright Light

• Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the cameras viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.

■ Flash

• Never use the flash unit in areas where flammable or explosive gas may be present. Such conditions create the risk of fire and explosion.
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver's vision and creates the risk of accident.
• Never fire the flash too close to the eyes of the subject. Doing so creates the risk of loss of eyesight.

Monitor Screen

• Do not apply strong pressure to the monitor screen surface or subject it to strong impact. Doing so can cause the monitor screen glass to crack.
• Should the monitor screen ever become cracked, never touch any of the liquid inside the monitor screen. Doing so creates the risk of skin inflammation.
• Should monitor screen liquid ever get into your mouth, immediately rinse your mouth out and contact your physician.

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. Leave the camera in a location whose temperature is within the range where charging can be performed. 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.

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^ to 35^ (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or even fail.
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

Storage Precautions

• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it.
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20^ (68^) or lower).
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

Using the Camera in another Country

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.

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.

Using a Memory Card

See page 21 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.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 117). However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.)

Memory Card Handling Precautions

Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may experience problems saving high-quality (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 和 and 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 this camera just modify file management information of memory card and/or camera main memory. They do not actually modify the data itself. Note that management of your data is entirely your responsibility. To ensure data security, the following actions are recommended whenever you discard or transfer ownership of a memory card or the camera.

• When discarding a memory card and/or the camera, either physically destroy them or completely wipe out all of their data using commercially available software, etc.
• When transferring ownership of a memory card and/or the camera, completely wipe out all of their data using commercially available software, etc., and then use the camera's format function to format the memory card and/or camera main memory.
