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

Simply select the sample scene you want and the

camera sets up automatically. Then all you need do is

press the shutter button for perfect images.

An AUTO BEST SHOT mode automatically selects the

appropriate BEST SHOT sample scene based on

current shooting conditions.

The Make-up Mode smoothes the skin texture of the subject

and softens facial shadows caused by harsh sunlight for

better looking portraits.

See pages

43 , 44 for more information.

See page

53 for more information.

See page

109 for more information.

Dynamic Photo

Extract a moving subject out of a series of Continuous Shutter images you

have shot and insert them into another image to create a Dynamic Photo

image that features the moving subject.

Make-up Mode/Landscape Mode

BEST SHOT

The Landscape Mode makes colors more vivid and

performs other processes to enhance the beauty of natural

scenery.

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-60) 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 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.

First, charge the battery prior to use.

Quick Start Basics

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 159.

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.

• 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

144).

• See page 178 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 34).

• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting

battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 145, 146).

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 145). Note that a version of this manual in

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

Japanese market.

1. Press [ON/OFF] 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: 19. 12. 09

YY/MM/DD

* 09/12/19

DD/MM/YY

* 19/12/09

MM/DD/YY

* 12/19/09

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].

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the

Camera

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.

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 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 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 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 174.

– SD Memory Card

– SDHC Memory Card

Use one of the above types of 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 front

is facing upwards (towards the monitor

screen side of the camera), 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 160.

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.

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 [6].

3. Use [8] and [2] 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.
