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.

The monitor screen uses various indicators, icons, and values to keep you informed

of the camera’s status.

• The sample screens in this section are intended to show you the locations of all the

indicators and figures that can appear on the monitor screen in various modes.

They do not represent screens that actually appear on the camera.

. Snapshot Recording

NOTE

• The semi-transparent gray frame on the monitor screen indicates the area that is

recorded when shooting a movie. The area within the frame is recorded for a

movie.

• Depending on recording settings, the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity

values may not appear on the monitor screen. These values will be orange if the

Auto Exposure (AE) is not correct for some reason.

Quick Start Basics

Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to

make recording of digital images easier, including the following eight main functions.

What you can do with your CASIO camera

ART SHOT

A variety of artistic effects help to make even common,

ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting.

“ART SHOT” provides the following effects: Toy

Camera, Soft Focus, Light Tone, Pop, Sepia,

Monochrome, Miniature.

High Speed Night Shot

The camera shoots a series of images and then

merges them into a final image. The result is a bright

image, even if shot in the dark without a flash.

Premium Auto PRO

Select Premium Auto PRO recording and the

camera automatically determines whether you

are shooting a subject or scenery, and other

conditions. Premium Auto PRO delivers

higher image quality than standard Auto.

Blurred Background

This function analyzes a burst of consecutive images

and then blurs the background behind the main

subject. This creates an effect that really makes the

subject stand out, just like photographs taken with a

single-lens reflex camera.

*See page 81 for more information.

*See page 79 for more information.

*See page 29 for more information.

*See page 80 for more information.

15

Quick Start Basics

Wide Shot

With this feature, a number of images are shot and

then combined to produce an image with a super-wide

angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view

possible with the lens. Converted to 35 mm

equivalents, the focal distances available with this

feature enable shooting with approximate angles of

view of 14 mm and 18 mm.

HDR Art / HDR Art Movie

An HDR Art feature combines different parts of a burst

of images shot with different exposures into a final

image and performs high-precision image analysis to

produce final images that are true works of art. HDR

Art also can be used when shooting movies.

High Speed Movie

Movies can be recorded at up to 1000 frames per

second. This makes it possible to clearly view

phenomena that are invisible to the human eye, in

slow motion.

FHD Movie Recording

You can record movies in high-quality FHD.

Quick Start Basics

Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps

below to load the battery into the camera and charge it.

• Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-130)

for power. Never try to use any other type of battery.

1. Open the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN

and then open it as indicated by the arrows in

the illustration.

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.

Close the battery cover and then shift the

slider towards LOCK.

First, charge the battery prior to use.

Quick Start Basics

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.

You can use either of the two following methods to charge the camera’s battery.

• USB-AC adaptor

• USB connection to a computer

. To charge with the USB-AC adaptor

1. Turn off the camera.

Check to make sure that the camera’s monitor screen

is blank. If it isn’t, press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off

the camera.

2. After connecting the

supplied USB cable

to the USB-AC

adaptor, plug the

power cord into a

household power

outlet.

Quick Start Basics

3. Connect the USB

cable to the camera.

The back lamp should

light red, indicating that

charging has started.

The back lamp will go out

when charging is

complete.

It takes about

240 minutes to bring a

fully dead battery to a full

charge.

• A battery that has not

been used for a long

time, or ambient

temperature extremes

can cause charging to

take longer than

normal. If charging

takes longer than

about six hours, a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not

fully charged. This is indicated by the back lamp flashing red. If the battery has

not been used for a very long time, charging may be terminated automatically

and the back lamp may start flashing red after only about 45 minutes. In either

case, disconnect the USB cable from the camera and then reconnect it to

resume charging.

• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you

still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as

shown in the illustration.

4. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera

and then unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

. To charge using a USB connection to a computer

The battery loaded in the camera is charged whenever the camera is connected

directly to a computer with the USB cable.

• Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the

camera’s battery over a USB connection. If this happens, use of the USB-AC

adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.

IMPORTANT!

• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an

error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then

reconnect the USB cable.

1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera.

2. With your computer turned on, connect the camera to it.

The camera’s back lamp will light red. After a short while, the camera will turn on

automatically and the back lamp will light amber to indicate that charging has

started. The back lamp will light green when charging is complete. Note,

however, that some computer models or connection conditions can produce low

supply capacity. If low supply capacity exists, charging will start without the

camera turning on. This is indicated by the back lamp lighting red. The back lamp

will go out in this case after charging is complete.

Quick Start Basics

• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers,

and connection conditions can cause charging to take more than

approximately six hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging

automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. If this happens,

disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to restart charging. To complete

charging faster, use of the included USB-AC adaptor is recommended.

• If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate

automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red or go out after only

about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that

comes with the camera is recommended.

• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you

still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as

shown in the illustration.

Back Lamp Operation

3. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera

and then from the computer.

NOTE

• Charging continues while a camera is connected to a computer’s USB port, even if

the camera is turned off. Under this condition, the back lamp operates as described

under “Back Lamp Operation” (page 18).
