Snapshot Image Size and Image Quality  
Your camera lets you select from among various image size  
and quality settings. Note that image size and quality  
settings affect how many images can be stored in memory.  
You can change the image size and quality settings as  
required to shoot a smaller or lower-resolution image for  
attachment to an e-mail message, for publishing on a  
website, etc. You can also select an image size that suits  
the size of paper you plan to use for printing your images.  
For details, see pages 67, 69, and 278.  
How do I half-press the shutter button?  
The shutter button is designed to stop about half way down  
when you press it lightly. Stopping at this point is called a  
“half-press”. 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.

Battery Life  
Data Error Precautions  
Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual  
represent the approximate amount of time before the camera  
turns off due to low battery power when being powered by the  
special battery under normal temperature (23°C (73°F)). They  
do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated  
level of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by  
ambient temperature, battery storage conditions, the amount  
of time spent in storage, etc.  
Leaving the camera on can run down battery and cause the  
low battery warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever  
you are not using it.  
The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to  
turn off due to low battery power. Charge the battery as soon  
as possible. Leaving low or dead batteries in the camera can  
lead to battery leakage and data corruption.  
Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital  
components. Any of the following creates the risk of  
corruption of data in camera memory.  
– While the camera is performing an operation, removing the  
battery or memory card from the camera, or placing the  
camera onto or removing it from the USB cradle  
– While the operation lamp is flashing green after turning off  
the camera, removing the memory card from the camera or  
placing the camera onto or removing it from the USB cradle  
– Disconnecting the USB cable, removing the camera from  
the USB cradle, or disconnecting the AC adaptor from the  
USB cradle while a data communication operation is being  
performed  
– Using a battery that is low  
– Other abnormal operations  
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to  
appear on the monitor screen (page 276). Perform the action  
indicated by the message that appears.

Operating Environment  
Power Supply  
The operating temperature range of the camera is 0°C to  
40°C (32°F to 104°F).  
Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.  
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of  
moisture or dust  
– Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to  
extreme temperature or humidity  
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area  
subjected to strong vibration  
Use only the special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-20)  
to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not  
supported.  
The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock.  
The date and time settings of the camera are cleared about  
one day after power is totally cut off (from both the battery and  
USB cradle). If this happens, be sure to reconfigure these  
settings after power is restored (page 192).  
Lens  
Condensation  
Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the  
lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause  
malfunction.  
You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of  
images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight.  
This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not  
indicate malfunction of the camera.  
Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the  
camera is moved from the outdoors on a cold winter day into  
a warm room, can cause water droplets called “condensation”  
to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera. Note  
that condensation can cause malfunction of the camera. To  
avoid condensation, place the camera into a plastic bag  
before subjecting it to sudden temperature change. Wait until  
the air in the bag has had enough time to become acclimated  
to the new temperature before removing the camera. After  
that, open the battery cover and leave it open for a few hours.

Caring for your camera  
Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the lens surface  
can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid  
touching the lens surface. To clean the lens surface, use a  
blower to blow off dust or foreign matter and then wipe with a  
soft, dry cloth.  
Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can  
interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching  
the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft,  
dry cloth.  
To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
Monitor Screen Images  
The images that normally appear on the monitor screen  
during image playback are smaller than normal, and so you  
cannot see all of the detail of the actual image. Your camera  
has an image zoom feature (page 154) which you can use to  
enlarge the monitor screen image. You can use this feature  
for on-the-spot checks of important images.  
Other Precautions  
The camera becomes slightly warm during use. This is normal  
and does not indicate malfunction.

Replacing the Battery  
Battery Precautions  
1. Open the battery cover.  
Precautions during Use  
Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is  
always less than operation under normal temperatures. This  
is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.  
Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within  
the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside  
this temperature range can cause charging to take longer  
than normal or even cause charging to fail.  
2. With the camera oriented with its monitor  
screen facing upwards as shown in the  
illustration, slide the stopper in the direction  
indicated by the arrow and hold it there.  
This will cause the battery to come out part way.  
Stopper  
If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full  
charge, it probably means that the battery has reached the  
end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.  
3. While still holding the stopper, pull the battery  
out the rest of the way.  
4. Load a new battery.

Supported Memory Cards  
IMPORTANT!  
Your camera supports use of SD,  
SDHC, MMC (MultiMediaCard), or  
MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)  
memory cards.  
See the instructions that come with the memory card for  
information about how to use it.  
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If  
you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to  
record a movie using the “HQ” or “ HQ Wide” image quality  
setting. Because of this, use of a memory card with a  
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is  
recommended.

Formatting a Memory Card  
IMPORTANT!  
Before using a new memory card for the first time, you need to  
format it. Once you format a memory card, you will not need to  
format it each time you use it.  
Formatting a memory card that already has files on it will delete  
its contents.  
Never insert anything besides an SD memory card, SDHC  
memory card, MMC (MultiMediaCard), or MMCplus  
(MultiMediaCardplus) into the memory card slot. Doing so  
can lead to malfunction.  
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.  
IMPORTANT!  
Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation  
cannot be recovered. Double-check to make sure that you  
really want to delete all the contents of the memory card  
before proceeding with the format operation.  
Never remove a card from the camera while the operation  
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save  
operation to fail and even damage the memory card.  
Even if the file data on a memory card is protected (page  
180), formatting the card will delete all its data.  
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 memory card or SDHC  
memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-  
conformity with the SD format, causing problems with  
compatibility, operation, etc.

If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore  
normal operation by reformatting it. However, it is  
recommended that you always take along more than one  
memory card whenever using the camera far away from the  
home or office.  
If you experience problems while trying to playback recorded  
images, try re-formatting the memory card.  
As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a  
number of times, it loses its ability to retain data. Because of  
this, periodic re-formatting of a memory card is  
recommended.

Using Quick Shutter  
Specifying Image Size  
Pressing the shutter button all the way down without waiting at  
the halfway point shoots the image using Quick Shutter (page  
118). Quick Shutter lets you record right away, so you don’t miss  
those special moments waiting for Auto Focus.  
Quick Shutter focuses much quicker than normal Auto Focus.  
It comes in handy when shooting a fast-moving subject. It also  
eliminates worries of spoiled shots when you ask someone  
else to record and image for you, and they press the shutter  
button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus.  
A digital camera image is a collection of small dots (pixels).  
The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and  
is expressed as horizontal pixels × vertical pixels. The initial  
factory default image size setting is 7M (3072 × 2304 pixels).  
Note that a larger image takes up more memory.  
For information about image size, image quality, and number  
of images that can be stored, see page 279.  
This setting applies to snapshots only.  
For information about movie image size, see page 89.  
Quick Shutter is turned on as the initial factory default setting.

Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots  
Snapshot Shooting Precautions  
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.  
Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen  
response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor  
screen image.  
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.  
Operation  
While the operation lamp is flashing green, never open the  
battery cover or place the camera onto or remove it from the  
USB cradle. Doing so can result in incorrect storage of the  
image you just shot, damage to other images stored in  
memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.  
Shooting a dark subject while “Auto” is selected for the ISO  
sensitivity (page 126) setting will cause the camera to  
increase sensitivity and increase shutter speed automatically.  
Such conditions can cause digital noise in the image.  
If unneeded light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the  
lens with your hand when shooting an image.  
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent  
Lighting  
Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the  
brightness or color of an image.

Auto Focus Restrictions  
Proper focus may not be possible when shooting the following  
types of subjects.  
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject  
– Strongly back lit subject  
Shooting with Zoom  
Your camera provides you with 3X optical zoom (which changes  
the lens focal distance), which can be used in combination with  
digital zoom (which digitally process the center portion of the  
image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 12 - 42.6X.  
– 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 lamp  
to reach  
IMPORTANT!  
Generally speaking, the higher the digital zoom factor, the  
coarser the image that is recorded. However, digital zoom  
can be used up to a certain point without causing  
deterioration of the image.  
– Fast-moving subject  
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera  
Proper focus may not be possible if the camera is moved  
while shooting.

Red-eye reduction  
Checking the Flash Mode  
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 current flash mode is indicated on the monitor screen and  
by the operation lamp when you half-press the shutter button.

2. On the “Quality” tab, select “Flash Assist” and  
then press [X].  
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 7 seconds.  
Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a  
slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to hand  
movement. Secure the camera with a tripod, etc. Noise is  
generated in images shot under these conditions, which can  
make the image appear rough.  
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.  
3. Use [S] and [T] to select “Off” and then press  
[SET].  
When you want to use flash assist, select “Auto” here.  
IMPORTANT!  
Flash assist may not produce the desired result for some  
types of subjects.  
Any of the following can result in the flash assist effect  
being canceled out.  
– Changing the flash intensity (page 79)  
– Correcting brightness (EV shift) (page 121)  
– Changing ISO sensitivity (page 126)  
– Changing the contrast setting (page 130)

Continuous Shutter Precautions  
IMPORTANT!  
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.  
Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of  
the following features.  
– Some BEST SHOT scenes (Business cards and  
documents, White board, etc., Old Photo, Short Movie,  
Past Movie, Voice Recording)  
Note that with zoom continuous shutter, you do not need to  
keep the shutter button depressed.  
Digital zoom is disabled while shooting with zoom  
continuous shutter.  
Zoom continuous shutter is not available when the image  
size setting is 3:2 (3072 × 2048 pixels) or 16:9 (3072 ×  
1728 pixels).  
When the image size setting is 7M (3072 × 2304 pixels) or  
5M (2560 × 1920 pixels), the size of the zoomed image  
produced by zoom continuous shutter is 3M (2048 × 1536  
pixels).  
– Movie mode  
When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still  
until all recording is finished.  
A continuous shutter operation may stop part way through if  
memory capacity runs low.  
The continuous shutter rate depends on the current image  
size and image quality settings.  
When Auto Focus is selected as the focus mode, the  
metering mode automatically switches to “Spot” (pages  
116, 127) and locates the Auto Focus area in the center of  
the Zoom Continuous Shutter selection boundary.  
You can select the flash mode you want with normal-speed  
continuous shutter mode.  
With high-speed continuous shutter, the flash mode  
automatically becomes “  
With the flash continuous shutter mode, the flash mode  
automatically becomes “ ” (flash on).  
” (flash off).  
You cannot use the self-timer in combination with the normal-  
speed continuous shutter mode.  
Triple Self-timer can be used in combination with the zoom  
continuous shutter mode only.

Note that the resolution of images recorded with the high-  
speed continuous shutter mode or flash continuous shutter  
mode is somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital  
noise than images recorded with the normal-speed  
continuous shutter mode.  
“Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used for the flash continuous  
shutter mode, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting.  
With the flash continuous shutter mode, the flash range is  
narrower than normal.  
Adding Audio to a Snapshot  
You can add an audio recording to snapshots, if you want. Use  
this feature to add a verbal explanation or a description of the  
mood to a snapshot, or to capture the sounds of the people in  
the snapshot.  
You can record up to about 30 seconds of audio for a single  
snapshot.  
Turning on Audio Snapshot

Shooting with BEST SHOT  
Movie Recording Precautions  
With BEST SHOT (page 98), you select the preset scene that is  
closest to the one you want to shoot, and the camera sets up for  
it automatically. Selecting the “Night Scene” BEST SHOT scene,  
for example, sets the camera to shoot bright, clear images at  
night.  
You cannot use flash while shooting a movie.  
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 results are not  
possible when the  
camera is too far away  
from what you are trying  
to record.  
Anti Shake Movie Recording  
You can also use Anti Shake to reduce the effects of hand  
movement only while recording a movie (page 104). The effects  
of subject movement are not limited.  
– Operating camera  
buttons while shooting  
Microphone  
can cause button noise to be picked up in the audio.  
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.  
Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,  
which can cause movie frames to be dropped. “  
” and  
” flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you  
know when a frame has been dropped. Use of a memory card  
with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second  
is recommended.

You can perform digital zoom while shooting a movie by  
pressing [ ]. Optical zoom is not available while shooting a  
movie. To use optical zoom for a movie, use [ ] to zoom as  
required first and then press [ ] to start recording.  
The effects of camera movement in an image become more  
pronounced when you shoot close up or a large zoom factor.  
Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these  
conditions.  
Using Short Movie  
With Short Movie, pressing [

seconds after it is pressed (second part). You can specify how  
long (in seconds) you want the first part and the second part of  
the Short Movie to be.  
Since a few seconds of action before [  
] is pressed are  
recorded, Short Movie is a good way to make sure you don’t  
miss the action of kids or other active subjects.  
You can also use MOTION PRINT (page 171) to extract still  
images of Short Movie scenes.  
When the subject is outside the camera’s focus range,  
focusing is not possible and the image will be out of focus.

BEST SHOT Scene Limitations  
IMPORTANT!  
Business cards and documents, White board, etc., and Old  
Photo.  
These scenes cannot be used to shoot a movie.  
Short Movie, Past Movie  
These scenes cannot be used to shoot a snapshot.  
Voice Recording  
These scenes cannot be used to shoot a snapshot or movie.  
Night Scene, Fireworks  
These scenes use slow shutter speeds. Since a slow shutter  
speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image, the  
camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction  
process on slow shutter images. Because of this, such  
images take longer to store after you press the shutter button.  
Do not perform any key operation while an image is being  
stored. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image  
blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter  
speeds.  
BEST SHOT scenes 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 change the camera settings that are made when  
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. If  
you think you will later need to use a particular camera  
setup you configured, save it as a BEST SHOT user setup

IMPORTANT!  
Taking Bright Images without Flash  
The BEST SHOT “High Sensitivity” scene makes it possible for  
you to take natural looking images without using the flash, even  
when lighting is low  
Anti Shake will not work unless the ISO setting (page 126)  
is set to “Auto”.  
Shooting with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear  
somewhat coarser than normal and can cause slight  
deterioration of image resolution.  
Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of hand  
or subject movement when movement is severe.  
You can also use Anti Shake to reduce the effects of hand  
movement only while recording a movie. The effects of  
subject movement are not limited (page 89).

Restoring an Old Photograph  
With Old Photo, you can record the image of an old, faded  
photograph and then use the camera’s built-in advanced digital  
camera technology to restore it.  
NOTE  
When the camera is at an angle to the photograph you are  
recording, the shape of the photograph may appear  
distorted in the recorded image. Auto keystone correction  
corrects for this distortion, which means that a photograph  
appears normal even if you record it at an angle.  
Before Recording with Old Photo  
Make sure the entire photograph you are trying to record is  
enclosed within the monitor screen.  
Make sure the photograph is against a background that  
allows its outline to stand out, and that it fills the monitor  
screen to the maximum extent possible.  
Make sure that light is not reflecting off the surface of the  
original photograph when recording it.  
If the old photograph is portrait orientation, be sure to  
compose the image with the camera in landscape (horizontal)  
orientation.  
Selecting the Old Photo Scene  
1. In the REC mode, press [BS].  
2. Use [S], [T], [W], and [X] to select the “Old

Specifying ISO Sensitivity  
and then press [SET].  
ISO sensitivity is a value that expresses sensitivity to light. A  
larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for  
shooting when available lighting is dim. If you want to use faster  
shutter speeds, you should use a higher ISO sensitivity value.  
Under certain conditions, a fast shutter speed in combination  
with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise, which  
makes an image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images,  
use the lowest possible ISO sensitivity setting.

IMPORTANT!  
Specifying the Metering Mode  
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is  
metered for exposure.  
Using flash with high ISO sensitivity can cause problems  
with subjects that close to the camera.  
“Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used for movies, regardless  
of the current ISO sensitivity setting.  
You can use the key customization feature to configure the  
[W] and [X] buttons so they control the ISO sensitivity  
setting (page 135).

then press [X].  
3. Use [S] and [T] to select the setting you want  
and then press [SET].  
Multi (Multi Metering)  
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.

Center Weighted  
IMPORTANT!  
Center weighted metering concentrates on the  
center of the focus area to measure light. Use  
this metering method when you want to exert  
some control over exposure, without leaving  
settings totally up to the camera.  
The metering mode will change to “Center Weighted”

brightness of a particular subject, without  
being affected by surrounding conditions.  
NOTE

Using the On-screen Histogram to  
Check Exposure  
The on-screen histogram that provides a graphic representation  
of the current exposure of the image. You can also display the

NOTE  
You can use key customization to configure the [W] and [X]  
buttons so they control the EV shift setting. Then you can  
perform EV shift while viewing the results on the on-screen  
histogram (page 135).

Example Histograms  
How to Use the 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) to bring out sufficient image detail. If the  
histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use  
EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance.  
Optimum exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph  
is as close to the center as possible. The histogram also  
includes RGB histogram lines that show the distribution of R  
(red), G (green), and B (blue) components. These lines can be  
used to determine whether there is too much or too little of each  
of the color components in an image.  
When the histogram is 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 out” of the dark  
areas of an image, as shown in the  
nearby image.  
When the histogram is 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 out” of the light  
areas of an image, as shown in the  
nearby image.  
ADVANCED SETTINGS

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, as  
shown in the nearby image.  
IMPORTANT!  
Note that the above histograms are shown for illustrative  
purposes only. You may not be able to achieve similar  
shapes for particular subjects.  
A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee  
optimum exposure. If you intentionally want to over expose  
or under expose the image, you may not want a centered  
histogram.  
Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may  
not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration.  
Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause  
the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the  
actual exposure of the image when it was shot.  
The RGB (color component) histogram lines are displayed  
for snapshots only.

You can use the camera’s USB cradle to connect to a DVD  
recorder or video deck and record images from the camera.  
There are various different methods you can use in order to  
connect to another device when recording images. The  
following describes one method for connection using the  
AV cable that comes with the camera.  
– DVD recorder or video deck: Connect to the VIDEO IN  
and AUDIO IN terminals.  
– USB cradle: Connect to the [AV OUT] (AV output port)  
– Camera: Place onto the cradle  
To turn off the camera  
You can turn off the camera by doing either of the following.  
Press the camera’s [ON/OFF] button.

buttons for “Power On” or “Power On/Off” (page 197).  
All icons and indicators that appear on the monitor screen  
also appear on the TV screen.  
You can use [DISP] to change the display contents.  
Audio is monaural.  
Certain TVs may cut off part of the images.  
Audio is initially output by the camera at maximum volume.  
When you first start displaying images, set the TV volume  
control at a relatively low level and then adjust it as  
required.  
You can play a slideshow of snapshots and movies on the  
camera and record it on a DVD or video tape. You can  
record movies by selecting “  
Only” for the slideshow  
“Images” setting (page 147). When recording to DVD  
recorder or video deck, you can turn off display information  
(page 57) so indicators and other information is not  
recorded along with the image.  
To view the image that is being recorded, connect a TV or  
other monitor to the DVD recorder or video deck that is  
connected to the camera. For information about connecting  
a monitor to the DVD recorder or video deck and about how  
to record, see the user documentation that comes with the  
DVD recorder or video deck you are using.  
NOTE  
After using an optionally available AV cable (EMC-3A) to  
connect the camera’s cradle connector directly to the  
VIDEO IN terminal of a TV (without using the USB cable),  
you can view recorded images on the TV.

MANAGING YOUR FILES  
Files and Folders  
Your camera treats each snapshot, movie, and Voice Recording, as a separate file.  
You can delete, protect, and copy files as required.  
Files are grouped in folders that are created automatically by the camera.  
Files and folders have their own unique names, which are assigned automatically by the camera.  
For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder Structure” (page 246).  
Name and Maximum Number Allowed  
Example  
26th file name:  
CIMG0026.JPG  
File  
Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named CIMG0001 through CIMG9999.  
The extension on the file name depends on the file type.  
If a folder already contains 9999 files, recording another file will cause a new  
folder to be created automatically.  
Serial number  
(4 digits)  
Extension  
Folders Folders are named from 100CASIO to 999CASIO  
There can be up to 900 folders.  
100th folder name:  
100CASIO  
Serial number (3 digits)  
NOTE  
You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file names are displayed on the camera’s monitor  
screen, see page 260.  
The total number of folders and files that is allowed depends on the image size and quality, and capacity of the memory card being  
used for storage.

PRINTING  
Types of Printing  
There are three different methods you can use for printing images.  
Professional  
Print Service  
Take the memory card that contains the images you want to print to a  
professional print service.  
You can use DPOF settings to specify which images you want to print,  
the number of copies, and date stamp settings before taking the card in  
for printing.  
Printing at  
Home  
Printing on a Printer (page 202)  
Printing with a Computer  
Print on a printer that supports PictBridge, or on a printer equipped with a  
memory card slot.  
You can use DPOF settings to specify which images you want to print,  
the number of copies, and date stamp settings before printing.  
Windows Computer

Printing Precautions  
Using Professional Print Service  
See the documentation that comes with your printer for  
information about print quality and paper settings.  
Contact the manufacturer of your printer to find out if it  
supports PictBridge, for new printer versions, etc.  
Never disconnect cables or perform any camera or USB  
cradle operation while printing is in progress. Doing so can  
cause a printer error.  
Take a memory card that contains the images you want to print  
to the professional print service. Before taking in a memory card,  
you can use the camera’s DPOF settings (page 205) to specify  
which images you want printed, the number of copies, and  
whether or not the images should include a date stamp.  
Precaution when printing with “All Images”  
Note that selecting “All Images” for printing will also print all the  
pages of all the documents that have been transferred to the  
camera using the Data Storage feature (page 249).  
Regardless of whether you are printing at home or if you are  
using an outside printing service, make sure you know what is  
stored in a memory card (especially documents) before  
selecting “All Images” (page 207).

Printing on a Printer that Supports  
Using Your Printer to Print Images  
PictBridge  
If your printer is either of the types described below, you can use  
it to print without going through a computer.  
– Printer equipped with an SD memory card/ SDHC memory  
card slot  
You can connect the camera directly to a PictBridge compliant  
printer and print images without going through a computer.  
The camera’s USB cradle also allows easy connection to a  
printer. Before connecting to a printer via the USB cradle, be  
sure to perform the following procedure first.

Depending on what type of printer you are using, it also may be  
able to read the settings (images to be printed, number of  
copies, date stamping) you configure with the camera’s DPOF  
settings (page 205). For details, see the user documentation that  
comes with your printer.

12. Use [S] and [T] to select “Print” and then

Using DPOF to Specify Images to be  
Printed and the Number of Copies  
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) lets you specify  
which images you want to print, the number of  
copies, and whether date stamping is turned on or  
off. The settings you configure are recorded on the  
memory card. After configuring settings you can  
use the memory card to print on a home printer that supports  
DPOF or take the memory card to a professional print service.  
With DPOF, you can configure settings while viewing the actual  
images on the camera’s monitor screen, so there is no need to  
recall hard-to-remember files names, etc.  
Printing will start and the message “Busy... Please wait...”  
will appear on the monitor screen. The message will  
disappear after a short while, even though printing is still  
being performed. Pressing any camera button will cause the  
printing status message to re-appear.  
The print menu screen will re-appear when printing is  
complete.  
If you selected “1 Image” in step 11, you can repeat the  
procedure from step 11 to print other images, if you want.  
13. After you are finished printing, press the USB  
cradle’s [USB] button.  
IMPORTANT!  
This will turn off the camera.  
Certain print service providers may not support DPOF or  
may support different printing protocols. In this case, you  
will need to perform printing in accordance with the  
instructions provided by the print service you are using.

Tell your print service about your DPOF settings!  
Date Stamping  
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.  
You can use any one of the following three methods to include  
the recording date in the printout of an image.  
Configure DPOF settings on the camera to specify date  
stamping (page 205)  
– If an image already has the date or time stamped into it  
using the camera’s Date Stamping feature, turning on  
DPOF date stamping will cause the two dates to be  
stamped in the same location. Be sure to turn off DPOF  
date stamping when printing an image that is stamped with  
the camera’s Date Stamping function.  
IMPORTANT!  
Some printers may ignore time stamp settings or may not  
support DPOF at all. Check the user documentation that  
comes with your printer for details.  
– Some printers may ignore time stamp settings or may not  
support DPOF at all. Check the user documentation that  
comes with your printer for details.  
– Note that some professional print services do not support  
DPOF printing. Check with your service before ordering  
prints.  
The camera’s Date Stamping feature stamps the date and  
time directly into the image data (page 131).

Camera-Computer Connection  
IMPORTANT!  
Pressing the cradle’s [USB] button puts it into the USB mode,  
which is indicated by the USB lamp lighting green. In this mode,  
your computer recognizes the memory card loaded in the  
camera (or the camera’s built-in memory if it does not have a  
memory card loaded) as a removable disk.  
From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in  
the above procedure when you connect the camera to your  
computer (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for  
some reason).  
Never disconnect the USB cable or remove the camera  
from the USB cradle without exiting the USB mode first.  
Doing so can corrupt image data. See “Removing the  
Camera from the USB Cradle” on page 224 for the correct  
steps you need to perform to remove the camera from the  
cradle safely.  
With some Windows setups, you may see a guidance

memory to your Macintosh, make sure there is no  
memory card loaded in the camera.  
IMPORTANT!  
Never disconnect the USB cable or remove the camera  
from the USB cradle without exiting the USB mode first.  
Doing so can corrupt image data. See “Removing the  
Camera from the USB Cradle” on page 242 for the correct

Supported Image Files  
Image files shot with this camera  
DCF-compliant image files  
Even if an image is DCF-compliant, this camera still may not be  
able to display it. 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  
When saving camera data to a computer hard disk, MO disk,  
or other medium, be sure to transfer the entire DCIM folder  
and its contents. Changing the name of the DCIM to a date or  
something similar after you copy it to your computer is a good  
way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. When moving the  
folder back to the camera, however, be sure to change its  
name back to DCIM. This camera does not recognize any  
folder name besides DCIM.  
All of the other folders inside the DCIM folder must also have  
their original names if you transfer them back to the camera.  
Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the  
Memory Folder Structure” shown on page 246 in order for the  
camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

If you have problems installing the USB driver...  
You may not be able to install the USB driver properly if you use the USB cable to connect the camera to a computer running Windows  
98SE/98 before installing the USB driver from the bundled CD-ROM, or if you have another type of driver installed.  
This will make it impossible for the computer to recognize the camera when it is connected. If this happens, you will need to re-install the  
camera’s USB driver.  
For information about how to re-install the USB driver, see the USB driver’s “Read me” file on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the  
camera.
