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.

Quick Start Basics

What is a digital camera?

Delete

A digital camera stores images on a memory card, so you can record and

delete images a countless number of times.

Play

Record

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.

14

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 three main functions.

What you can do with your CASIO camera

BEST SHOT

Simply select the sample scene you want and the

camera sets up automatically. Then all you need

to do is press the shutter button for perfect images.

Anti Shake

The camera corrects automatically to minimize

image blur due to camera movement and high-

speed subject movement.

See page

61 for more information.

See page

51 for more information.

See page

43 for more information.

Face Detection

Point the camera at a person and it automatically

detects the person’s face for beautiful portraits

every time.

15

Quick Start Basics

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-80) for

power. Never try to use any other type of 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 210 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.

First, charge the battery prior to use.

Quick Start Basics

Other Charging Precautions

• Use the special charger (BC-81L if included with camera, BC-80L if purchased

separately) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-80). 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 upwards

(in the direction of the

monitor screen), 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 125.

Checking Remaining Battery Power

As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates

remaining power as shown below.

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

Recording is not possible when 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.

• The camera date and time display will not be correct if the camera is left for about

30 days with no power supplied while the battery is dead. If this happens, load new

battery and then set the correct time and date (page 110).

• See page 143 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 112, 112).

Quick Start Basics

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 111). Note that a version of this manual in

the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the

Japanese market.

• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language

selection.

1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on

the camera.

2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select

the language you want and then

press [SET].

3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].

Example: July, 10, 2012

YY/MM/DD

* 12/7/10

DD/MM/YY

* 10/7/12

MM/DD/YY

* 7/10/12

4. Set the date and the time.

Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to

change and then use [8] and [2] to change it.

To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press

[BS].

5. After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6]

to select “Apply” and then press [SET].

Quick Start Basics

NOTE

• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they

are subject to change.

• Removing the battery too soon after you set the time and date can cause the date

and time display to become incorrect. Do not remove the battery for at least 24

hours after configuring settings.

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 and

movies recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When

no memory card is loaded, images and movies are saved to built-in memory.

• For information about memory card capacities, see page 139.

– SD Memory Card

– SDHC Memory Card

Use one of the above types of memory card.

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 111

– Date and time: Page 110

Preparing a Memory Card

Supported Memory Cards

Quick Start Basics

1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) 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 127.

IMPORTANT!

• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 19) 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.
