which can cause foreground subject to be out of focus.  
High-speed, high-precision Auto Focus  
A phase differential sensor combines with contrast Auto  
Focus for faster focusing.  
Three continuous shutter modes (page 100)  
In addition to normal continuous shutter operation that  
can continually record shots as long as memory is  
available, you can also use high-speed continuous  
shutter and stop-action continuous shutter, which records  
a series of shots in a single image.

A simple operation locks exposure on a particular subject,  
helping to ensure that the image is focused the way you  
want.

Business Shot automatically corrects rectangular shapes  
when recording the image of a business card, document,  
whiteboard, or similar subjects from an angle.  
Album Function (page 232)  
HTML files are generated automatically to create an  
album of recorded images. Album contents can be viewed  
and printed using a standard Web browser. Images can  
also be incorporated into Web pages quickly and easily.  
Coupling Shot and Pre-shot (pages 117, 119)  
Coupling Shot lets you combine two subjects into a single  
image, while Pre-shot lets you add a subject to a  
previously recorded background image. This means you  
can create images that include you and your friend, even  
if you are the only two people around.  
Calendar screen (page 166)  
A simple operation displays a full-month calendar on the  
cameras monitor screen. Each day of the full-month  
calendar shows a thumbnail of the first image recorded  
for that date, which helps to make searching for a  
particular image quicker and easier.

Precautions  
General Precautions  
Be sure to observe the following important precautions  
whenever using the EX-P700.  
All references in this manual to camerarefer to the  
CASIO EX-P700 Digital Camera.  
Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while  
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so  
creates the risk of serious accident.  
Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your  
own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the  
risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave  
maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized  
service center.  
Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the  
cameras viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.  
Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out  
of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally,  
contact your physician immediately.  
Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating  
a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the drivers  
vision and create the risk of accident.

INTRODUCTION  
Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subjects  
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage  
if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true  
with young children. When using the flash, the camera  
should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the  
subject.  
Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and  
never let it get wet. Moisture creates the risk of fire and  
electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain  
or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.  
Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,  
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the cameras battery  
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power  
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center. Using the camera under these  
conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock.  
Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming  
out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking  
care you do not burn your fingers, remove the cameras  
battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the  
power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center. Using the camera under these  
conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. After  
making sure there is no more smoke coming from the  
camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service  
center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.  
Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device  
besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor  
besides the one that comes with this camera.  
Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other  
cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.  
At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord  
from the power outlet and clean the area around the  
prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can  
create the risk of fire.  
If the cameras case should ever become cracked due to  
dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,  
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the cameras battery  
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power  
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center.  
Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other  
area where its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk  
of accident.  
Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can  
cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Always  
keep backup copies of data by transferring them to  
personal computer memory.

INTRODUCTION  
Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor  
from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall  
socket while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not  
only make storage of the current image impossible, it can  
also corrupt other image data already stored in file  
memory.  
Test for proper operation before using  
the camera!  
Before using the camera to record important images,  
make sure you first record a number of test images and  
check the results to ensure that the camera is configured  
correctly and operating properly (page 19).

INTRODUCTION  
Condensation  
Lens and Phase Differential Sensor  
When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or  
otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature,  
there is the possibility that condensation can form on the  
exterior or on interior components. Condensation can  
cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid  
exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.  
To keep condensation from forming, place the camera  
into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is  
much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave  
it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a  
chance to reach the same temperature as the new  
location. If condensation does form, remove the battery  
from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a  
few hours.  
Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of  
the lens and phase differential sensor. Doing so can  
scratch the lens and phase differential sensor surface and  
cause malfunction.  
Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens and  
phase differential sensor can interfere with proper image  
recording. Never touch the lens and phase differential  
sensor with your fingers. You can remove dust particles  
from the lens and phase differential sensor surface by  
using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the  
surface of the lens and phase differential sensor with a  
soft lens cloth.  
When aiming the camera, make sure that your finger  
does not block the phase differential sensor.  
Other  
The camera may become slightly warm during use. This  
does not indicate malfunction.  
If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a  
soft, dry cloth.

IMPORTANT!  
Charging the 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.  
Dirty charger contacts and/or battery terminals can  
make proper charging impossible. Be sure to wipe  
contacts and terminals occasionally with a dry cloth  
to keep them clean.  
If the battery or rapid charger is very hot or cold when  
you start charging or if it becomes hot during charging,  
the rapid charger will enter a standby state, which is  
indicated when its [CHARGE] lamp is lit amber.  
Charging will resume when the temperature returns to  
the allowable charging temperature range, which is  
indicated when the [CHARGE] lamp turns red.  
Charging the battery while it is still warm immediately  
after removing it from the camera can result in only  
partial charging. Give the battery time to cool before  
charging it.  
Battery discharges slightly even when it is left  
without loading it into the camera. Because of this, it  
is recommended that you charge the battery  
immediately before you need to use it.  
The battery used with this camera is specifically  
designed for use with digital cameras. If you want to  
try to use it to power another type of device, you  
should first check the user documentation that  
comes with the device to see if the battery is  
compatible.  
Though the actual service life of the battery depends  
on the environment under which it is used, you can  
expect to be able to recharge it about 500 times  
before it needs replacement.

GETTING READY  
Failure to observe any of the following precautions  
while using the battery creates the risk of overheating,  
fire, and explosion.  
Never try to use the battery to power any device  
other than this camera.  
Should you ever notice any of the following conditions  
while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately  
remove it from the camera or rapid charger, and keep it  
away from open flame:  
Fluid leaking  
Never use or leave the battery near open flame.  
Never place the battery in a microwave oven, throw  
it into fire, or otherwise expose it to intense heat.  
Make sure the battery is oriented correctly when you  
load it into the camera or attach it to the rapid  
charger.  
Never carry or store the battery together with items  
that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead,  
etc.)  
Emission of a strange odor  
Heat emission  
Battery discoloration  
Battery deformation  
Any other battery abnormality  
If the battery does not achieve full charge after the  
normal charging time has passed, stop charging.  
Continued charging creates the risk of overheating, fire,  
and explosion.  
Never try to take the battery apart, modify it in any  
way, or expose it to strong impact.  
Do not immerse the battery in fresh water or salt  
water.  
Do not use or leave the battery under direct  
sunlight, in an automobile parked in the sun, or in  
any other area subject to high temperatures.  
Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery  
fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse  
them with clean tap water and then consult a physician.  
If the battery is to be used by young children, make  
sure that a responsible adult makes them aware of the  
precautions and proper handling instructions and make  
sure that they handle the battery correctly.  
Should fluid from the battery accidentally get onto  
clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean  
tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can  
cause skin irritation.

G PRECAUTIONS DURING USE  
G BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS  
Charge the battery in a location where the temperature  
is in the range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Charging  
outside this temperature range can cause charging to  
take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.  
Very limited operation following a full charge indicates  
that the battery has reached the end of its service life.  
Replace the battery with a new one.  
Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol,  
or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags.  
Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead  
to malfunction.  
Make sure you remove the battery from the camera  
when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery  
left in the camera discharges very small amounts of  
power even when power is turned off, which can lead to  
a dead battery or the need for longer charging before  
the next use.  
Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68 °F) or  
lower).  
G USING THE BATTERY  
When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in  
the camera or stored in its case.  
Always make sure that the rapid charger is on a level  
surface when using it for charging.

I Rapid Charger Precautions  
Using AC Power  
Never plug the rapid charger into an outlet whose  
voltage rating is different from that marked on the rapid  
charger. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction,  
and electric shock.  
You need to purchase the optionally available AC adaptor  
(AD-C40) in order to be able to power the camera using AC  
power.  
Never plug in or unplug the rapid charger while your  
hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric  
shock.  
1. Connect the AC power cord to the AC  
adaptor.  
Do not plug the rapid charger into an outlet or  
extension cord that is shared by other devices. Doing  
so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric  
shock.  
The rapid charger becomes slightly warm during  
charging. This is normal and does not indicate  
malfunction.  
2. Open the cameras terminal panel cover and  
connect the AC adaptor to the port marked  
[DC IN].  
Unplug the rapid charger from the power outlet  
whenever you are not using it.

Area  
The AC adaptor can be used with any power source rated  
from 100V to 240V AC. If you plan to use the AC adaptor  
in another country, it is up to you to purchase the  
applicable AC power cord that matches the configuration  
of power receptacles in that country.

I AC Adaptor Precautions  
Be sure to turn off power before connecting or  
disconnecting the AC adaptor.  
Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the  
AC adaptor, even if the camera has a battery installed. If  
you dont, the camera will turn off automatically when you  
disconnect the AC adaptor. You also run the risk of  
damaging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC  
adaptor without first turning power off.  
Turning the Camera On and Off  
Press the power button to turn the camera on and off.  
Pressing the power button to turn on the camera causes  
the green operation lamp to flash. Press the power button  
again to turn off the camera.  
Green operation lamp  
The AC adaptor may become warm to touch after  
extended periods of use. This is normal and is not cause  
for alarm.  
After using the camera, turn it off and unplug the AC  
adaptor from the AC outlet.  
The camera automatically switches over to AC adaptor  
powered operation whenever the AC adaptor is plugged  
into the camera.  
Always use the AC adaptor to power the camera  
whenever it is connected to a computer.  
Never place a blanket or any other cover on the AC  
adaptor. Doing so creates the risk of fire.  
Power button  
IMPORTANT!  
If camera power is turned off by the Auto Power Off  
feature, press the power button to turn it back on

G Operation Lamp and Focus Frame Operation  
Recording Precautions  
When you see this:  
It means this:  
• Never open the battery cover while the green operation  
lamp is flashing. Doing so not only causes the current  
image to be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored  
in file memory and even lead to malfunction of the  
camera.  
Green focus frame  
Green operation lamp  
The image is in focus.  
Red focus frame  
Flashing green operation lamp  
The image is not in focus.  
• Never remove the memory card while an image is being  
stored to the memory card.  
• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that  
cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the  
camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience  
some brightness or color problems with recorded images.  
• When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting  
(page 133), the camera automatically adjusts its  
sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the  
subject. This can cause some digital noise (graininess) to  
appear in images of relatively dark subjects.  
• When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected  
for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 133), the camera  
increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed.  
Because of this, you need to guard against camera  
movement if you have flash turned off (page 71).  
• Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to  
appear “washed out”. This tends to happen when  
recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect  
against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from  
the light.  
5. After making sure that the  
image is focused properly,  
press the shutter button the  
rest of the way down to  
record.  
Shutter button  
• The number of images that can  
be stored in memory depends on  
the image size and image quality  
setting you are using (pages 77,

About Auto Focus  
About the REC Mode Monitor Screen  
• Auto Focus tends not to work well if the camera is moved  
during recording, or when recording the types of subjects  
listed below.  
— Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast  
— Strongly backlit subjects  
— Polished metal or other brightly reflective subjects  
— Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns  
— Multiple subjects that are varying distances from the  
camera  
• The image shown on the monitor screen in a REC mode  
is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual  
image is recorded in accordance with the image quality  
setting currently selected on your camera. The image  
saved in file memory has much better resolution and  
detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.  
• Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the  
response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,  
which causes some digital noise (graininess) in the  
monitor screen image.  
— Subjects in poorly lit areas  
— Moving subjects  
• Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical  
band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a  
CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does  
not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical  
smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a  
snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie (page  
124).  
• Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not  
necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in  
focus.  
• If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for  
some reason, try using focus lock (page 87) or manual  
focus (page 85).

• Preview buffer contents are cleared by the following  
operations.  
— Turning off the camera  
— Changing the mode dial setting  
• Nothing is stored in the preview buffer when you  
record a movie.  
Whenever you record an image, the camera stores a copy  
of it in a preview buffer. You can use the procedures  
described here to view the contents of the preview buffer,  
without exiting a REC mode.  
The last recorded image remains in the preview buffer until  
you record another image, change to the PLAY mode, or

To delete preview buffer contents after  
recording a single image  
Orientation Sensor  
The camera has an orientation sensor that detects whether  
the camera is being held horizontally (its normal  
orientation) or vertically when you record an image.  
Information about camera orientation is recorded along with  
the image data so the image can be displayed properly.  
When you transfer images to a computer using the bundled  
Photo Loader application (page 241), Photo Loader also  
detects the orientation of each image and displays it  
accordingly.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Note that image deletion cannot be undone. Once  
you delete an image, it is gone. Make sure you really  
do not need an image anymore before you delete it.  
1. In a REC mode, press [PREVIEW] to display  
the current contents of the preview buffer.  
2. While the preview image is on the display,  
press [EX ].  
3. In response to the confirmation message that  
appears, use [̆] and [̄] to select Delete.  
• To cancel the delete operation without deleting  
anything, select “Cancel”.

angled more than about 60 degrees towards the  
front or back.  
• To ensure proper operation of the orientation sensor,  
note the following points.  
— Keep the camera still during recording. Moving  
the camera while recording can cause miss-  
operation of the orientation sensor.  
— When recording an image using portrait (vertical)  
orientation, make sure the camera is standing  
straight up, 90 degrees from horizontal. A sensor  
error may occur if the camera is angled more than  
about 20 degrees from vertical.  
— When positioning the camera vertically, keep the  
flash above the lens.  
— Note that the orientation sensor does not operate  
in the Movie mode.

Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical  
zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically  
switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum  
limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the  
camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.

I About Red-eye Reduction  
Flash Unit Status  
Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can  
cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the  
image. This happens because 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 performs two  
pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in  
the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for  
the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash  
operation for actual recording of the image.  
You can find out the current flash unit status by pressing  
the shutter button half way and checking the monitor  
screen and red operation lamp.  
BKT  
The  
indicator is also  
shown on the monitor  
screen when the flash unit  
is ready to fire.  
IMPORTANT!  
Red operation lamp*  
Note the following important points when using red-  
eye reduction.  
* Red operation lamp  
• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people  
in the image are looking directly at the camera during  
the pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter button, call  
out to the subjects so they all look at the camera

Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)  
Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure  
setting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your  
subject. This feature helps to achieve better results when  
recording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, or  
a subject that is against a dark background.  
NOTE  
• Locking the focus also locks the exposure.

NOTE  
• Performing an EV shift operation while using multi-  
pattern metering (page 135) will cause the metering  
mode to switch automatically to center weighted  
metering (page 135). Returning the EV shift value to  
0.0 causes the metering mode to change back to  
multi-pattern metering.  
• You can use key customization (page 140) to  
configure the camera to perform exposure  
compensation whenever you press [̇] or [̈] while in

Configuring the White Balance Setting  
Manually  
Certain complex light sources or other environmental  
conditions can make it impossible to obtain good results  
when “Auto” or one of the fixed light source settings is  
selected for white balance. Manual white balance lets you  
configure the camera for a particular light source and other  
conditions.  
Note that you must perform manual white balance under  
the same conditions you will be shooting under. Have a  
sheet of white paper on hand before starting the following  
procedure.  
• When “Auto” 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.  
When this happens, use daylight, cloudy, or one of  
the other fixed white balance settings to specify the  
type of lighting available.  
• You can use key customization (page 140) to  
configure the camera so the white balance setting  
changes whenever you press [̇] or [̈] while in a  
REC mode.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
IMPORTANT!  
Using Manual Assist On-screen Guidance  
• The shutter speed displayed in the A mode and the  
aperture value displayed in the S mode are rough  
approximations only. Because of this, these settings  
may be slightly different from the settings that appear  
when you press the shutter button half way (which  
are more precise).  
Pressing [SET] while in the A mode (aperture priority AE),  
S mode (shutter speed priority AE), or M mode (manual  
exposure) causes on-screen guidance and exposure indicators  
(aperture and shutter speed) to appear on the display.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
• At shutter speeds slower than 1 second, the brightness of  
the recorded image may not be the same as the  
brightness of the image that appears on the monitor  
screen.  
Exposure Mode Recording Precautions  
• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want  
when recording an image that is very dark or very bright.  
If this happens, use the M mode (manual exposure) to  
adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.  
• You can select the “BULB” setting in the S mode (shutter  
speed priority AE) or M mode (manual exposure).  
• With the “BULB” setting, exposure continues as long as  
you keep the shutter button depressed, for up to 60  
seconds.  
• Note that when you are using the “BULB” setting, the  
record operation with the card remote controller (page  
148) is different from the record operation on the camera.  
• Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise  
(graininess) to appear in the image. Because of this, the  
camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction  
process whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or  
slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the  
possibility that digital noise will be generated in an image.  
If you notice digital noise in your images at very slow  
shutter speeds, try using a shutter speed setting that is  
faster than four seconds. Also note that the digital noise  
reduction process can cause it to take longer (about  
double the shutter speed setting or more) to record each  
image.

• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with the  
normal speed continuous shutter mode. Also, you cannot  
use the high speed continuous shutter mode or multi  
continuous shutter mode in combination with the Triple  
Self-timer (page 75).  
• The slowest possible shutter speed setting when using  
the multi continuous shutter mode is 1/15 second.  
• Starting a continuous shutter operation causes the  
exposure and focus settings to be fixed at the levels for  
the first image. The same settings are applied to all  
subsequent images.  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera  
still until all recording is finished.

Take care not to move the camera until all of the shots  
(three or five) of the auto bracketing operation are  
recorded.  
IMPORTANT!  
Note that you can use only one non-configurable  
variable at a time. You cannot use them in  
combination with each other.  
The camera automatically performs a digital noise  
reduction process at shutter speeds slower than 1  
second. Because of this, an auto bracketing operation  
that normally records five shots records only four shots at  
shutter speeds slower than 1 second.  
An auto bracketing operation may stop part way through if  
memory capacity or battery power runs low.  
Certain menu settings may be ignored when you use Auto  
Bracketing for recording.

Recording a Subject onto an Existing  
Background Image (Pre-shot)  
Pre-shot helps you get the background you want, even if  
you need to ask someone else to record the image for you.  
Basically, Pre-shot is a two-step process.  
IMPORTANT!  
Coupling Shot temporarily uses file memory to store  
data. You may get an error during Coupling Shot  
recording if there is not enough file memory available  
to store the required data. If this happens, delete  
images you no longer need and try again.  
1. You compose the background you want and press the  
shutter button, which causes a semi-transparent image  
of the background to remain on the monitor screen.  
2. Ask someone else to record a shot of you against your

by using the semi-transparent monitor screen image as a  
guide.  
The camera stores the image produced by step 2 only.  
Depending on how the image is actually composed in  
step 2, its background may not be exactly the same as  
the one you composed in step 1.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
An RGB histogram that shows the distribution of R (red),  
G (green), and B (blue) components is also displayed.  
This histogram can be used to determine whether there is  
too much or too little of each of the color components in  
an image.  
Using the Histogram  
You can use [DISP] to display a histogram on the monitor  
screen. The histogram lets you check exposure conditions  
as you record images (page 34). You can also display the  
histogram of a recorded image in the PLAY mode.  
NOTE  
You can use key customization (page 140) to  
configure the camera to perform exposure  
compensation whenever you press [̇] or [̈] while in  
a REC mode. If you do this, you can adjust exposure  
compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram  
(page 88).  
When the histogram is too far  
to the left, it means that there  
are too many dark pixels.  
This type of histogram results  
when the overall image is  
dark. A histogram that is too  
far to the left may result in  
black outof the dark areas  
of an image.  
Histogram  
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. You can use the histogram to  
determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left  
side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) required  
to bring out sufficient image detail. If the histogram  
appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV  
shift (exposure compensation) to move it left or right in  
order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can  
be achieved by correcting exposure so the graph is as  
close to the center as possible.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
When the histogram is too far  
to the right, it means that  
there are too many light  
pixels.  
This type of histogram results  
when the overall image is  
light. A histogram that is too  
far to the right may result in  
white outof the light areas of  
an image.  
IMPORTANT!  
Note that the above histograms are shown for  
illustrative purposes only. You may not be able to  
achieve exactly the same shapes for particular  
subjects.  
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.  
You may not be able to achieve an optimum  
histogram configuration due to the limitations of EV  
shift.  
Use of the flash as well as certain shooting  
conditions can cause the histogram to indicate  
exposure that is different from the actual exposure of  
the image when it was recorded.  
A centered histogram  
indicates that there is good  
distribution of light pixels and  
dark pixels. This type of  
histogram results when the  
overall image is at optimal  
lightness.  
The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed  
for snapshots only. In the Movie mode, only the  
luminance distribution histogram appears on the  
monitor screen.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
IMPORTANT!  
Specifying ISO Sensitivity  
Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in  
combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can  
cause digital noise (graininess), which makes an  
image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images,  
use the lowest ISO sensitivity setting possible.  
Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the  
flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in  
improper illumination of the subject.  
You can change the ISO sensitivity setting for better  
images in places where lighting is dim or when you are  
using faster shutter speeds.  
ISO sensitivity is expressed in terms of values that  
originally indicated the sensitivity to light for photographic  
film. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is  
better for recording when available lighting is dim.  
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU].  
NOTE  
You can use key customization (page 140) to  
configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting  
changes whenever you press [̇] and [̈] while in a  
REC mode.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
IMPORTANT!  
Selecting the Auto Focus (AF) Mode  
Use of Continuous AF performs focus non-stop, so  
battery power runs down faster than with Hybrid AF.  
Even if Hybridor Continuousis selected as the  
AF mode, the camera automatically uses the  
contrast AF for focusing when Freeis selected for  
the Auto Focus area setting (page 82).  
Be sure to use Contrast AF whenever you have a  
telephoto conversion, wide angle conversion, or  
close-up lens installed (page 153). Note that  
Contrast AF is slower to focus than Hybrid AF.  
Use the following procedure to change the AF mode.  
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU].  
2. Select the RECtab, select AF Mode, and  
then press [̈].  
3. Use [̆] and [̄] to select the setting you want,

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS  
Center Weighted  
Selecting the Metering Mode  
Center weighted metering measures  
light concentrating on the center of the  
focus area. Use this metering method  
when you want to exert some control  
over exposure, without leaving settings  
totally up to the camera.  
Use the following procedure to specify multi (multi pattern)  
metering, spot metering, or center weighted metering as  
the metering mode.  
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU].  
Spot  
2. Select the RECtab, select Metering, and  
then press [̈].  
Spot metering takes readings at a very  
small area. Use this metering method  
when you want exposure to be set  
according to the brightness of a  
particular subject, without it being  
affected by surrounding conditions.  
3. Use [̆] and [̄] to select the setting you  
want, and then press [SET].  
Multi (Multi pattern)  
Multi (Multi pattern) metering divides the  
image into sections and measures the  
light in each section for a balanced  
exposure reading. The camera  
automatically determines shooting  
conditions according to the measured  
lighting pattern, and makes exposure  
settings accordingly. This type of  
metering provides error-free exposure  
settings for a wide range of shooting  
conditions.  
IMPORTANT!  
When Multiis selected as the metering mode,  
certain procedures cause the metering mode setting  
to change automatically as described below.  
Changing the exposure compensation setting (page  
88) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering  
mode setting to Center Weighted.The metering  
mode changes back to Multiwhen you return the  
exposure compensation setting to 0.0.

IMPORTANT!  
Using an External Flash  
Some flash performance may be lost when using a  
ring flash or other type of unit with a long flash time.  
The aperture value and ISO sensitivity available with  
some flash units may not match the values  
supported by your camera. In such a case, make  
adjustments in the aperture setting of the external  
flash and the camera until proper brightness is  
achieved.  
Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible  
to obtain a higher level of brightness (guide number) than  
you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external  
flash also makes it possible to extend the effective range of  
flash photography.  
The guide number of the internal flash is 8 (ISO 80/m).  
External Flash Unit Requirements  
Any external flash unit you use with this camera must  
satisfy the following requirements.

Before Using an External Flash Unit  
Note that the brightness of what you see on the  
monitor screen will be different from the brightness of  
the image you record. Make sure you check the  
settings of your external flash and of the camera  
before recording.  
Turning the cameras external flash setting on and  
off not only determines whether or not a connected  
external flash fires, it also changes the setup of the  
camera. Make sure you always turn the external  
flash setting off whenever you are not using an  
external flash unit for recording.

External Flash Precautions  
The external flash connected to the external flash sync  
terminal always fires. To record an image without using  
external flash, disconnect the sync cable from the  
terminal or turn off external flash unit power.  
After recording an image, check it on the monitor screen.  
If it is not what you expected, use the controls on the  
external flash unit to adjust flash intensity, and adjust the  
aperture and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. Note  
that you cannot control external flash unit intensity using  
camera settings.  
Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure  
may not be obtained even if you properly set the auto  
aperture (F) value and ISO sensitivity of the flash  
unit to match those of the camera. If this happens,  
adjust the auto aperture (F) value, ISO sensitivity, or  
other settings of the flash unit. Also try adjusting the  
aperture of the camera.  
Close up images often tend to be overexposed. If you are  
having overexposure problems, try adjusting the aperture  
and ISO sensitivity settings of the external flash unit and  
the camera. You can also try using the cameras built in  
flash to correct for overexposure.  
Note that the cameras built in flash fires whenever its  
Flash mode setting is something other than  
(Off).  
Camera aperture (F) values are based on the widest  
optical zoom (1X). Using telephoto can cause slight lens  
darkness. Adjust the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings  
of the external flash unit and the camera as required  
when using optical zoom.  
When using a zoom flash, a coverage angle for a focal  
distance of 33mm or less for the flash unit is  
recommended.

turn off the camera so the lens is retracted. This protects  
against scratching of the lens.  
IConversion Lens and Close-up Lens  
Precautions  
Be sure to install the TELE CONVERTER ADAPTOR or  
WIDE CONVERTER ADAPTOR before installing a  
conversion lens or close-up lens.  
Carefully read the user documentation that comes with  
the conversion lenses and close-up lens for information  
about how to use them properly.  
Be sure to use the monitor screen to compose images  
while a conversion lens or close-up lens is installed on  
the camera. Do not use the viewfinder, because its image  
is not changed by the lens you are using. Also, there will  
be darkening around the edges of the image within the  
viewfinder.  
When using a wide angle conversion lens, select Auto  
Focus or Macro (  
) as the focus mode (page 80).  
The wide angle conversion lens may cause distortion of an  
image.  
When using a close-up lens, be sure to set the focus  
mode to Macro ( ) (page 80). Proper focus of a close-  
up image is not possible with any other focus mode.  
Installing a conversion lens or close-up lens can interfere  
with proper operation of the cameras built-in flash.  
When using a conversion lens or close-up lens, select  
(Off) for the flash mode or use an external flash (page 149).  
When using a telephoto conversion lens, select Auto  
Focus as the focus mode (page 80).  
Using optical zoom to select wide angle while a telephoto  
conversion lens is installed can cause blackening around  
the edges of the image. Set optical zoom to telephoto  
(page 68).  
Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid camera movement  
during recording with a telephoto conversion lens.

IOptical Zoom Precautions  
Installing a Filter  
Optical zoom is possible only up to about 2X while a wide  
converter is installed. This is to prevent damage to the  
wide converter by contact with the camera lens as it  
extends.  
This camera supports use of commercially available 58mm  
filters.  
IMPORTANT!  
Be sure to install the TELE CONVERTER ADAPTOR  
before installing a filter. If you attach a filter directly  
to the lens without the TELE CONVERTER  
ADAPTOR, the convex surface of the lens will come  
into contact with the filter and damage it.  
Carefully read the user documentation that comes  
with filters for information about how to use them  
properly.  
IMPORTANT!  
Be sure to reinstall the lens ring on the camera lens  
when you are not using a conversion lens. Optical  
zoom is possible only up to about 2X while the lens  
ring is not installed properly, even if the camera does  
not have the wide converter installed.  
Keep the following points in mind when purchasing a  
filter.  
Use of a filter can cause blackening around the  
edges of images.  
Use of a filter may interfere with proper operation  
of Auto Focus and flash.  
Filters may not deliver the same results as those  
obtained with a film camera.  
Do not use multiple filters.  
Use of a commercially available lens hood may  
cause blackening around the edges of images.

FILE MANAGEMENT  
The file management capabilities of the camera make it  
easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against  
deletion and store the files you want in the cameras built-in  
memory.  
Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.  
Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next  
serially numbered folder to be created. File names are  
generated as shown below.  
Example: Name of the 26th file

Memory Folders and Files  
The folder and file names described here appear when  
you view folders and files on a computer. See page 33 for  
information about how the camera displays folder and file  
names.  
The actual number of files you will be able to store on a  
memory card depends on the image size and quality, card  
capacity, etc.  
An image you record is automatically stored in a folder,  
whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900  
folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are  
generated as shown below.

Using the FAVORITE Folder  
You can copy scenery shots, photos of your family, or other  
special images from a file storage folder (page 228) to the  
FAVORITE folder in built-in memory (page 228). Images in  
the FAVORITE folder are not displayed during normal

as you carry them around. FAVORITE folder images are  
not deleted when you change memory cards, so you can  
always keep them on hand.

Configuring Power Down Image Settings  
You can select any one of the following types of  
image as the startup image.  
The cameras built-in startup image  
A snapshot you recorded with the camera  
An audio snapshot you recorded with the camera  
(Audio not played back at startup.)  
With the power down image feature, you can configure the  
camera so a specific image stored in camera image  
memory appears whenever you turn off power. You can  
specify a snapshot or a movie as the power down image.  
A movie whose file size is less than the amount of  
unused built-in memory still available  
I To configure power down image settings  
The snapshot image or movie that you select as the  
startup image is stored in the cameras built-in  
memory. Only one image can be stored in startup  
image memory at one time. Selecting a new startup  
image overwrites anything that is already stored in  
startup image memory. Because of this, if you want  
to return to a previous startup image, you need to  
have a separate copy of that image in the cameras  
standard image memory.  
1. Use the USB cable to connect the camera to  
your computer (page 216).  
2. Move the image data that you want to use for  
the power down image to the top (root) folder  
of the cameras built-in Flash memory.  
The file name extension will not be displayed if your  
computer is configured to hide file name extensions.  
The startup image is deleted if you format built-in  
memory (page 198).  
Example: CIMG0001  
If there is a memory card loaded in the camera, be  
sure to copy the image to built-in memory before  
removing the memory card from the camera.  
If you store an audio snapshot to startup image  
memory, the images audio is not played when the  
image is displayed at startup.

3. Change the name of the file to one of the  
following.  
Only a snapshot (JPEG) or movie (AVI) file can be  
used as the power down image.  
Snapshot Image: ENDING.JPG  
Movie Image: ENDING.AVI  
Note that the power down image feature works only  
with images recorded with this camera. The power  
down image feature may not operate properly when  
another type of image is specified as the power down  
image.  
You do not need to input the file name extension  
(JPG or AVI) if your computer is configured to hide  
file name extensions.  
Formatting the cameras flash memory deletes the  
power down image (page 198).  
File Name: ENDING  
When both a still image and a movie are present for  
the power down image, only the movie is used.  
Note that a power down image display operation  
cannot be interrupted once it starts. Because of this,  
you should select a relatively short movie when using  
a movie file as the power down image.  
Your camera is now configured to display a power  
down image. The power down image will appear any  
time you press the power button to turn off the  
camera. The power down image appears regardless  
of whether or not your camera has a memory card  
loaded in it.

memory to a memory card and from  
a memory card to flash memory.  
Certain types of cards can slow down processing  
speeds.  
SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which  
you can use to protect against accidental deletion of  
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an  
SD memory card, you must remove write protection  
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete  
any of its files.  
Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When  
you insert a memory card, however, the camera  
automatically stores files to the card.  
Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a  
memory card is installed in the camera.  
Electrostatic charge, digital noise, and other  
phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or  
even lost. Always maintain backup copies of  
important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO  
disc, computer hard disk, etc.)

camera  
To format a memory card  
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored  
on it.  
1. Press the memory card into  
the camera and then release  
it. This will cause the card to  
come part way out of the  
camera.  
IMPORTANT!  
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 card,  
formatting on a computer can result in non-  
conformity with the SD format, causing problems with  
compatibility, operation, etc.  
Note that data deleted by a memory card format  
operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure  
you do not need any of the data on the memory card  
before you format it.  
2. Pull the memory card out of the slot.  
IMPORTANT!  
Never insert any other object besides a memory card  
into the cameras card slot. Doing so creates the risk  
of damage to the camera and card.  
Should water or any foreign object ever get into the  
card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove  
the battery, and contact your dealer or nearest  
CASIO authorized service center.  
Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes  
all the files, even those that are protected (page  
181).  
Never remove a card from the camera while the  
green operation lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause  
the file save operation to fail, and even damage the  
memory card.

USING A MEMORY CARD  
1. Load the memory card into the camera.  
Memory Card Precautions  
If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can  
restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we  
recommend that you always take along more than one  
memory card whenever using the camera far away from  
the home or office.  
We recommend that you format a memory card before  
using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever  
the card you are using seems to be the cause of  
abnormal images.  
2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC  
mode or PLAY mode and press [MENU].  
3. Select the Set Uptab, select Format, and  
then press [̈].  
4. Use [̆] and [̄] to select Format, and then  
press [SET].  
As you record data to and delete data from an SD  
memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to  
retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of an  
SD memory card is recommended.  
To exit the format operation without formatting,  
select Cancel.  
Before starting a format operation, check to make sure  
that the battery is fully charged. Power interruption during  
the format operation can result in improper formatting,  
and even damage the memory card and make it  
unusable.

Built-in Memory and Memory Card  
Precautions  
• Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top)  
folder of all the files in memory. When transferring  
memory contents to a hard disk, CD-R, MO disk, or other  
external storage, treat all the contents inside a DCIM  
folder as a set and always keep them together. You can  
change the name of the DCIM folder on your computer.  
Changing the name to a date is a good way to keep track  
of multiple DCIM folders. However, if you even want to  
copy the folders back to the camera’s file memory, be  
sure you change the name of the DCIM folder back to  
“DCIM” first. The camera does not recognize any folder  
name other than DCIM.

USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER  
The album feature of the camera creates files that make it  
possible for you to view images on your computer in a  
photo album layout. You can also use the applications  
contained on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the  
camera to automate image transfer and to retouch images.  
You can use the Web browser shown below to view or  
print the contents of an album. Note that to view a movie  
on a computer running Windows 2000 or 98, you need to  
install DirectX from the bundled CD-ROM.  
Microsoft Internet Explorer Ver 5.5 or later  
Using the Album Feature  
Creating an album  
The album feature creates an HTML photo album layout  
that displays your images. You can use the HTML layout to  
post your images on a Web page, or for printing the  
images.  
IMPORTANT!  
Remember that creating an ALBUMfolder (page  
228) causes different size versions of each image to  
be created in memory. If there is an ALBUMfolder  
in image memory when you specify printing of all  
images by a professional print service or on a printer,  
you may end up with unwanted multiple prints of the  
same image. To avoid this problem, use the  
procedure under To delete an albumon page 240  
to delete the ALBUM folder.
