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.

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-60) 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 household
[CHARGE] lamp
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

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.

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.
Supported Memory Cards
– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
– MMC (MultiMediaCard)
– MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)
Use one of the above types of memory card.
To load a memory card
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and
1
then open the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN and
then open it as indicated by the arrows in the
2
illustration.
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.

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 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.

Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record
• 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...
shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in
the center of the screen.

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.
Horizontal
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.
• To protect against accidentally
dropping the camera, attach the
wrist strap and make sure it is
around your fingers or wrist while
you are operating the camera.
• Never swing the camera around by

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.
Pixel
. About image sizes
The size of an image indicates how many
pixels it contains, and is expressed as

Image Size Selection Tips
Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
Large Number of Pixels
* More detail, but takes up more memory. Best when you plan
to print large-size prints (such as A3 size).
Small Number of Pixels
* Less detail, but takes up less memory. Best when you want
to send images by e-mail, etc.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be
stored, see page 161.

• Flash charging time depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient
temperature, etc.) With a fully charged battery it takes anywhere from a few
seconds to 3 seconds.
• 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.
• Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: Auto)
Wide Angle: 0.2 m to 2.8 m (0.7' to 9.2')
Telephoto: 0.4 m to 1.5 m (1.3' to 4.9')
* The above values depend on the optical zoom setting.
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.
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.

Tips for Best Face Recognition Results
• Face recognition in the Family First mode is slightly faster than that in the Normal
mode. Also, compared with the Normal mode, the Family First mode will not be
able to detect faces that are far away and small.
• The camera performs center focus if it cannot detect a face.
• Always make sure that Auto Focus (AF) is selected as the focus mode when
shooting with face recognition.
• Face recognition may take a bit longer when you hold the camera sideways.
• Even if you have the face of a family member pre-recorded, the person’s facial
expression, shooting conditions, or other factors can make proper detection
(highest priority assignment) impossible.
• Face recognition can be improved by pre-recording multiple versions of the same
person’s face indoors and outdoors, with different expressions, and at different
angles.
• 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 recognition cannot be used in combination with any of the following features.

• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.
Some BEST SHOT scenes (Business cards and documents, White board, etc.,
Prerecord (Movie), For YouTube, Voice Recording)
• The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image size and image quality
settings.
• The speed of Normal-speed Continuous Shutter and High-Speed Continuous
Shutter 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.
• Flash is turned off ? automatically when High-speed Continuous Shutter is
selected.
• With flash continuous shutter, the flash mode automatically becomes < (flash on).
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with Normal-speed or High-speed
Continuous Shutter.
• Note that images recorded with High-speed and Flash Continuous Shutter are of
somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded
with Normal-speed Continuous Shutter.
• The ISO sensitivity setting always is “Auto” for High-speed and Flash Continuous
Shutter, regardless of the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.
• The flash range for Flash Continuous Shutter is narrower than that for normal flash.

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 44).
• 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.
• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical
zoom setting before you press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.

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 to
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will
be recorded in the case of a movie.
• 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.
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing
[0] to start recording.
• 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
58).

Using BEST SHOT
What is BEST SHOT?
BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of
different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the
camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the
camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined
images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

4. Press the shutter button (if you are shooting a snapshot) or [0] (if you
are shooting a movie).
NOTE
• The BEST SHOT YouTube scene sets up the camera for recording movies that are
optimized for uploading to YouTube. Movies recorded with the YouTube scene are
stored in a special folder to make them easy to locate for uploading (page 105).
Maximum recording time while the YouTube scene is selected is 10 minutes.
. Using Scene Information Screen
To find out more about a scene, select it with the
boundary on the scene selection screen, and then slide
the zoom controller in either direction.
• To return to the scene menu, slide the zoom controller
again.
• To scroll between scenes, use [4] and [6].
• To configure the camera with the settings for the
currently selected scene, press [SET]. To return to the
scene information screen for the currently selected BEST SHOT scene, press [BS]
(^).
. BEST SHOT Precautions
• The following BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie:
Self-portrait (1 person), Self-portrait (2 people), Business cards and documents,
White board, etc.
• The following BEST SHOT scenes 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.
• Selecting the Night Scene or Fireworks scene 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 115).

• High Sensitivity
– The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.
– High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.
– When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring
due to camera movement.
– Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise
filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the
camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next
shot.
• 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.
Creating Your Own BEST SHOT Setups
You can save up to 999 camera setups as user BEST SHOT scenes for instant recall
whenever you need them.
1. On the BEST SHOT scene menu, select the scene named BEST SHOT
(Register User Scene).
2. Use [4] and [6] to select the snapshot or movie whose setup you want
to save.
3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Save”, and then press [SET].
Your BEST SHOT scene will be assigned the name “Recall User Scene”, along
with a scene number.

DPOF settings are not cleared automatically after printing is complete.
The next DPOF print operation you execute will be performed using the last DPOF
settings you configured for the images. To clear DPOF settings, specify “00” for the
number of copies of all images.
Tell your print service about your DPOF settings!
If you take a memory card to a professional print service, be sure to tell them that it
includes DPOF settings for the images to be printed and the number of copies. If you
don’t, the print service may print all the images without regard to your DPOF settings,
or they may ignore your date stamp setting.
. Date Stamping
You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the
printout of an image.
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.
• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a

. 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.
• 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.
