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 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 main functions.  
Tough, Shock resistant construction  
Applying the same technology developed for the G-SHOCK wristwatch, this  
camera has passed drop testing from a height of 2.13 meters/7 feet* for a level  
of shock resistance that dramatically outperforms previous models.  
* Based on CASIO test equivalent to MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock  
(page 31).  
Waterproof, Dustproof, Freezeproof  
In addition to IEC/JIS Protection Class 8 (IPX8)* and  
Protection Class 6 (IPX6) equivalent waterproofing that  
allows immersion up to 3.0 meters, this camera also  
conforms to IEC/JIS Protection Class 6 (IP6X)  
dustproofing, which effectively shuts out sand, dirt, and  
dust. Freezeproofing up to –10°C means it can be used while skiing and in  
other cold temperature environments.  
* Based on CASIO test.

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.  
See page 109 for more information.  
Interval  
Recording  
This feature automatically records images at fixed intervals. You can fix the  
camera to a bicycle or automobile and have it shoot at regular intervals as you  
travel. This feature is also ideal to shoot changes in clouds, flowers, and  
crowds.

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-80) 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  
[CHARGE] lamp  
household power outlet.  
About 100 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.

Other Charging Precautions  
• Use the special charger (BC-80L) 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.  
To load the battery  
1. Open the battery cover.

• 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  
143).  
• See page 177 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  
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting  
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 144, 145).

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 144). Note that a version of this manual in  
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the  
Japanese market.  
[BS]  
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the  
[ON/OFF] (Power)  
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].

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 144  
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.  
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 173.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– microSD Memory Card  
– microSDHC Memory Card  
Use one of the above types of memory card.  
Warning!  
*
microSD/microSDHC memory cards present a swallowing hazard for small  
children.  
+
Keep microSD/microSDHC memory cards out of the reach of small children.  
Should a memory card ever be swallowed accidentally, consult a physician  
immediately.

Back  
until you hear it click  
securely into place.  
3. Close the memory card/terminal cover.  
Close the memory card/terminal cover completely  
until it clicks securely in place.  
• For information about how to replace the memory  
card, see page 160.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Be sure to orient the memory card correctly when  
loading it into the camera. Trying to force a card while it is incorrectly oriented can  
damage it.  
• Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the microSD/microSDHC  
memory card.  
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 20) 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.  
• Never remove the memory card from the camera while it is being accessed. Doing  
so can cause problems with proper file transfer, damage the memory card, etc.

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 [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 a microSD or microSDHC memory card, formatting on a  
computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with  
compatibility, operation, etc.

Attaching a Protector  
The camera comes with two protectors. Attaching one of the protectors helps to  
protect the side of the camera against damage if it is dropped.  
. About the screws that come with the camera  
The camera comes with a total of six screws: four long screws for attaching a  
protector, and two short screws. The short screws are extra replacements for the  
screws that are in the holes in the side of the camera when a protector is not  
attached.  
1. Remove the two short screws from the  
holes on the lens side of the camera.  
• Store the short screws in a safe place  
where they will not become lost.  
2. Attach one of the protectors and  
secure it in place with the two long  
screws.  
• The camera comes with a total of four long  
screws for attaching the protector. Two  
are required for installation and the other  
two are spares.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Use a commercially available precision screwdriver (#0) to loosen and tighten the  
screws.  
• Never attempt to loosen or remove any other of the camera’s screws except those  
specifically noted above.  
• Whenever a protector is not attached to the camera, be sure to fill the two holes on  
the lens side with the original short screws or the two extra short screws that come  
with the camera.

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.

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.

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.  
Half-press  
Press lightly  
until the  
button stops.  
• The focus frame in the screen shots  
included in this manual is shown at ß.  
Note that you can change the form of the

. Using Quick Shutter  
Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record  
using Quick Shutter (page 79).  
• With Quick Shutter, the camera focuses faster than normal Auto Focus, which  
means you can capture quick moving action more easily. Note, however, that some  
images may be out of focus when Quick Shutter is used.  
• Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press the shutter button in order  
to ensure proper focus.  
. 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 69) 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.  
. To track the movement of a moving subject

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 82).  
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  
– Subject that is too far away for light from the AF assist light to reach  
– 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 69) or Manual Focus (page  
67).

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.

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 176) 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. The camera also has an auto  
red-eye correction feature that corrects for red-eye in recorded images.  
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.

• 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 (Dynamic Photo, Multi-motion Image, Prerecord  
(Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)  
– Movie Recording  
• The following function is disabled when shooting with face detection.

Shooting with Zoom  
Your camera provides you with 3X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal  
distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally  
processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of  
3X to 47.8X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 52).  
1. In the REC mode, press the zoom button to zoom.

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 52).  
• 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.  
Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom Switch Point  
If you hold down the z (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 z (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.

of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for  
beautiful movies every time. Selecting the BEST SHOT scene named Night Scene,  
for example, will configure the camera so night scenes appear clearer and brighter.  
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording  
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during  
movie recording (page 77). Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due  
to subject movement and it makes the field of view narrower.

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.  
Microphone  
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the  
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.  
• 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 Y  
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  
• 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.  
• Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while shooting a movie (page  
67).

. BEST SHOT Precautions  
• The following BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie:  
Dynamic Photo, Multi-motion Image  
• The following BEST SHOT scene 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.  
• Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks 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 137).  
• 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.

To focus with manual focus  
1. On the monitor screen, compose the image so  
the subject you want to focus on is within the  
yellow boundary.  
2. Watching the image on the monitor screen use  
[4] and [6] to adjust focus.  
• At this time the image that is within the boundary will  
enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids in  
focusing. If you do not perform any operation for two  
seconds while the enlarged image is displayed, the  
screen in step 1 will re-appear.  
Yellow boundary  
NOTE  
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and  
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.  
• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to  
become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.  
• Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only.  
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus,  
Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell  
you the focus range, as shown below.  
Example: oo cm to 9  
* oo is the actual focusing range value.  
Using Focus Lock  
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want  
to compose an image in which the subject you want to  
focus on is not within the focus frame in the center of the  
screen.  
Subject to be focused on  
• To use focus lock, select “Û Spot” for the Auto  
Focus area (page 43).  
1. Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with  
the subject you want to focus on and then  
half-press the shutter button.

2. Keeping the shutter button half-pressed (which  
maintains the focus setting), move the camera  
to compose the image.  
3. When you are ready to shoot the image, press  
the shutter button the rest of the way down.  
NOTE  
• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).

IMPORTANT!  
• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able  
to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure  
your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using  
continuous shutter.  
• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for  
successive images as well.  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is  
finished.  
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.  
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (AUTO BEST SHOT, Dynamic Photo, Interval  
Snapshot, Interval Movie, Underwater, Multi-motion Image, Prerecord (Movie),  
For YouTube, Voice Recording)  
– Make-up Mode, Landscape Mode  
• The speed of “Normal Speed CS” 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.  
• “Normal Speed CS” speed is slower when shooting with flash.  
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with “Normal Speed CS” and “High  
Speed CS”.  
• Note that images recorded with “High Speed CS” are of somewhat lower resolution  
and more prone to digital noise than images recorded with “Normal Speed CS”.  
• The ISO sensitivity setting always is “AUTO” for “High Speed CS”, regardless of  
the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.  
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the  
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

Tips for Better Auto Shutter Snapshots  
• Using Auto Shutter in combination with Anti Shake (page 77) 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.  
IMPORTANT!  
• 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 145) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the  
camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 144) is disabled while Auto Shutter  
being used.  
• To cancel Auto Shutter recording while Auto Shutter is being performed (indicated  
by “0 Auto” flashing on the monitor screen), press [SET].  
• The Ë Tracking” setting for the AF area cannot be used while Detect Blur or  
Detect Panning is selected for the Auto Shutter setting (page 43).  
• Always make sure you had “Û Spot” selected for the AF area whenever you are  
using the Detect Smile Auto Shutter setting (page 43).  
• Auto Shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.  
– Some BEST SHOT sample scenes (AUTO BEST SHOT, Dynamic Photo,  
Interval Snapshot, Interval Movie, Multi-motion Image, Prerecord (Movie), For  
YouTube, Voice Recording)  
• The following function is disabled when shooting with Auto Shutter.

Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)  
Procedure  
REC mode * [MENU] * Quality Tab * EV Shift  
You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.  
• Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV  
• Unit: 1/3 EV  
1. Use [8] and [2] to adjust the exposure compensation value.  
[8] :Increases the EV value. A higher EV  
value is best for light-colored subjects  
and backlit subjects.  
[2] :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.  
2. Press [SET].  
This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation  
value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which  
causes it to revert to “0.0”).  
NOTE  
• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to  
obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.  
Controlling White Balance (White Balance)  
Procedure

You need to shoot twice to extract the subject.  
You need to shoot only once to extract the subject.  
If you select this option, you will not need to  
perform steps 7 and 8 of the procedure below.  
The subject against a plain  
(no pattern) background  
6. First, shoot an image that includes the subject  
you want to extract.  
• Shoot an image in which the subject is as large as  
possible. If you selected “2” for the “Number of Shots”  
setting, the images should include some easily  
identifiable reference point that you can use for later  
alignment in step 7 below.  
• If you selected “Moving Subject” the camera will record multiple subject  
images. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.  
• If you selected “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, this procedure is complete  
with this step. The camera will extract the subject and display it on the monitor  
screen. If you selected “Moving Subject” in step 3, the subject image will be  
moving on the display.  
• Even if you select “1” for the “Number of Shots” setting, certain conditions can  
cause the setting to switch automatically to “2”.  
• Flash is turned off automatically at this time.  
7. Next, compose the image again, this time without  
the subject you want to extract. Take care so the  
image composition here is as close as possible  
to the image composition in step 6. This second  
image will let the camera know what part of the  
image in step 3 needs to be cropped.  
• A semi-transparent view of the image you shot in step  
3 (which includes the subject) will be visible on the monitor screen to help you  
compose the background image properly.

8. Press the shutter button to shoot the background only.  
The camera compares the images you shot in steps 6 and 8 and extracts the  
subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you  
selected “Moving Subject”, the subject image will be moving on the display.  
• You can interrupt an ongoing subject extraction process (steps 6 through 8) at  
any time by pressing [MENU] or [BS].  
IMPORTANT!  
• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface  
of a color that is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to  
crop the subject image properly if it is the same or similar color as the background.  
• The camera may not be able to cleanly crop a subject that is not clearly defined on  
the monitor screen due to backlighting, shadows, light smear, insufficient lighting,  
etc. When shooting the subject, make sure that it is clearly defined and outlined on  
the monitor screen.  
• The background you shoot in step 5 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the  
cropped subject image is saved.  
Inserting a Subject into a Background Image (Dynamic Photo)  
Use the following procedure to insert a subject into a new background image. A  
x
Dynamic Photo with a moving subject is saved as a 2M (1600 1200 pixels) or  
smaller size image. A Dynamic Photo with a still subject is saved as a 6M  
x
(2816 2112 pixels) or smaller size image.  
Procedure  
PLAY mode *[MENU] *PLAY Tab *Dynamic Photo  
1. Use [4] and [6] to select the background image you want and then  
press [SET].  
• Only an image that satisfies the following conditions can be used as a  
background image.  
– An image recorded with this camera or an image transferred to this camera’s  
memory using Photo Transport (page 128)

3. Use the zoom button to adjust the size of the subject and use [8], [2],  
[4], and [6] to adjust its position.  
4. When everything is the way you want, press [SET].  
This inserts the subject into the background image and creates a Dynamic Photo.  
• If the original still image into which a moving subject is inserted is smaller than  
2M size, the Dynamic Photo will be the same size as the original.  
• If the original still image into which a still subject is inserted is smaller than 6M  
size, the Dynamic Photo will be the same size as the original.  
NOTE  
• The camera comes with a number of extracted sample subjects in its built-in  
memory, which you can use to create Dynamic Photos, if you like.  
• Performing a delete or format operation will delete the sample subjects in built-in  
memory. If you delete the sample subjects, you can download them from the  
Dynamic Photo Special Site (http://dp.exilim.com/) and restore them to built-in  
camera memory.  
• You can copy the sample subjects to a memory card using the “Built-in *Card”  
copy operation (page 108).

. Date Stamping  
You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the  
printout of an image.  
Configuring camera settings  
Configure DPOF settings (page 117).  
You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure  
settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.  
Configure the Camera’s Time Stamp setting (page 142).  
• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you  
shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.  
• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date  
stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two  
stamps to be overprinted.  
Configuring computer settings  
You can use commercially available image management software to date  
stamp images.  
Professional print service  
Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.  
. Standards Supported by the Camera  
• PictBridge  
This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association  
(CIPA).  
• PRINT Image Matching III  
Using image editing software and printing on a printer that supports  
PRINT Image Matching III makes it possible to use information about  
shooting conditions that is recorded with the image, and produce  
exactly the type of image you want. PRINT Image Matching and  
PRINT Image Matching III are trademarks of Seiko Epson Corporation.  
• Exif Print  
Printing on a printer that supports Exif Print (Exif 2.2) uses  
information about shooting conditions recorded with the image to  
enhance printed image quality. Contact your printer manufacturer  
for information about models that support Exif Print, printer upgrades, etc.

. 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 137 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.  
• A Subject Image File (CIMG
