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 test shots  
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is  
recording correctly.

Quick Start Basics  
What you can do with your CASIO camera  
Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to  
make recording of digital images easier, including the following eight main functions.  
ART SHOT  
A variety of artistic effects help to make even common,  
ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting.  
“ART SHOT” provides the following effects: Toy  
Camera, Soft Focus, Light Tone, Pop, Sepia,  
Monochrome, Miniature.  
*See page 74 for more information.  
High Speed Night Shot  
The camera shoots a series of images and then  
merges them into a final image. The result is a bright  
image, even if shot in the dark without a flash.  
*See page 75 for more information.  
Premium Auto PRO  
Select Premium Auto PRO recording and the  
camera automatically determines whether you  
are shooting a subject or scenery, and other  
conditions. Premium Auto PRO delivers  
higher image quality than standard Auto.  
*See page 28 for more information.  
Blurred Background  
This function analyzes a burst of consecutive images  
and then blurs the background behind the main  
subject. This creates an effect that really makes the  
subject stand out, just like photographs taken with a  
single-lens reflex camera.  
*See page 76 for more information.  
Quick Start Basics

13  
   
Wide Shot  
With this feature, a number of images are shot and  
then combined to produce an image with a super-wide  
angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view  
possible with the lens. Converted to 35 mm  
equivalents, the focal distances available with this  
feature enable shooting with approximate angles of  
view of 15 mm and 19 mm.  
*See page 77 for more information.  
HDR Art / HDR Art Movie  
An HDR Art feature combines different parts of a burst  
of images shot with different exposures into a final  
image and performs high-precision image analysis to  
produce final images that are true works of art. HDR  
Art also can be used when shooting movies.  
*See page 83 for more information.  
High Speed Movie  
Movies can be recorded at up to 480 frames per  
second. This makes it possible to clearly view  
phenomena that are invisible to the human eye, in  
slow motion.  
*See page 64 for more information.  
FHD Movie Recording  
You can record movies in high-quality FHD.

4. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera  
and then unplug the power cord from the power outlet.  
. To charge using a USB connection to a computer  
The battery loaded in the camera is charged whenever the camera is connected  
directly to a computer with the USB cable.  
• Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the  
camera’s battery over a USB connection. If this happens, use of the USB-AC  
adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.  
IMPORTANT!  
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an  
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then  
reconnect the USB cable.  
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera.  
2. With your computer turned on, connect the camera to it.

The camera’s back lamp will light red. After a short while, the camera will turn on  
automatically and the back lamp will light amber to indicate that charging has  
started. The back lamp will light green when charging is complete. Note,  
however, that some computer models or connection conditions can produce low  
supply capacity. If low supply capacity exists, charging will start without the  
camera turning on. This is indicated by the back lamp lighting red. The back lamp  
will go out in this case after charging is complete.

• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers,  
and connection conditions can cause charging to take more than  
approximately six hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging  
automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. If this happens,  
disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to restart charging. To complete  
charging faster, use of the included USB-AC adaptor is recommended.  
• If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate  
automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red or go out after only  
about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that  
comes with the camera is recommended.  
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you  
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as  
shown in the illustration.

IMPORTANT!  
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.  
• A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after  
charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.  
• If low supply capacity exists due to your computer model or connection conditions,  
charging will start without the camera turning on. Turning on the camera in this  
case will cause charging to stop and enter USB data communication between the  
camera and the computer. The camera’s back lamp will be lit green at this time.  
Other Charging Precautions  
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s  
battery (NP-110) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the  
battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-110L). Never use any other  
type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in  
unexpected accident.  
• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards.  
Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause  
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.  
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.  
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port  
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.  
• A battery that is still warm immediately after 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 USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from  
the TV or radio.  
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.  
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.  
Recording is not possible when is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.  
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the  
REC mode and PLAY mode.  
• Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is  
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to  
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera  
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page  
161).  
• See page 195 for information about battery life and number of shots.  
Battery Power Conservation Tips  
• Entering the “ECO Mode” enables low-power operation (page 157).  
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting  
(page 41).  
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting  
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 163, 163).  
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 95).  
• Avoid unnecessary optical zoom operations.

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the  
Camera  
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the  
display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly  
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.  
IMPORTANT!  
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if  
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display  
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the  
Display Language (Language)” (page 162). Note that a version of this manual in  
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the  
Japanese market.  
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language  
selection.  
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the  
[ON/OFF] (Power)  
camera.  
[0] (Movie)  
2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select the  
language you want and then press  
[SET].  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style  
and then press [SET].  
Example: July 10, 2012  
YY/MM/DD * 12/7/10  
DD/MM/YY * 10/7/12  
MM/DD/YY * 7/10/12  
4. Set the date and the time.  
Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to  
change and then use [8] and [2] to change it.  
To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press  
[0] (Movie).  
5. After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6] to select “Apply” and  
then press [SET].

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the  
above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct  
the settings.  
– Display language: page 162  
– Date and time: page 161  
NOTE  
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they  
are subject to change.  
• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date  
settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults.  
Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.  
Preparing a Memory Card  
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and  
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for  
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded  
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card  
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.  
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 190.  
Supported Memory Cards  
– SD Memory Card (Up to 2GB)  
– SDHC Memory Card (2GB to 32GB)  
– SDXC Memory Card (32GB to 2TB)  
Use one of the above types of memory card.  
• The above are supported memory card types as of January 2012.  
• Noted memory card capacities are standard values.  
• Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card Association specification.  
• This model does not support use of an Eye-Fi card.  
. Memory Card Handling Precautions  
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds, and even can make it  
impossible to store High Quality movies correctly. Also, use of certain types of  
memory cards slows down data transfer and increases the time it takes to record  
movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped. The Y indicator on the  
monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being dropped. In order to  
avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card is  
recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the operation  
of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card used with this camera.

To replace the memory card  
Press the memory card and then release it. This will  
cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull  
the card out the rest of the way and then insert another  
one.  
• Never remove a card from the camera while the back  
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the  
image save operation to fail and even damage the  
memory card.  
To format (initialize) a new memory card  
Before using a memory card for the first time with the camera, you must format it.  
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, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a  
computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with  
compatibility, operation, etc.  
1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].  
2. On the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].  
4. Use [8] and [2] to select “Yes” and then press [SET].

Snapshot Shooting Precautions  
Operation  
• Never open the battery cover while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can  
result in the image you just shot being saved incorrectly, damage to other images  
stored in memory, malfunction of the camera, etc.  
• If unwanted light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand.  
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots  
• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can  
cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.  
• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual  
image will be recorded at the quality set for the image quality setting (page 99).  
Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting  
• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an  
image.  
Other Precautions  
• The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noticeable noise will  
be generated in an image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a  
noise reduction at slow shutter speeds. The noise reduction process causes it to  
take longer to record images at lower shutter speeds. The shutter speeds for which  
noise reduction is performed depend on the camera setup and shooting conditions.  
• A noise reduction process is performed when ISO sensitivity is set to a high value.  
This can cause the camera to take relatively longer to be ready to shoot again after  
you press the shutter button. Do not perform any key operation while the image  
recording operation is in progress.  
• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast  
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.

Auto Focus Restrictions  
• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible.  
– Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject  
– Strongly back lit subject  
– Very shiny subject  
– Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern  
– Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera  
– Subject in a dark location  
– Subject that is too far away for light from the AF assist light to reach  
– Camera movement while shooting  
– Fast-moving subject  
– Subjects outside the focus range of the camera  
• If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 45) or Manual Focus (page  
43).

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.

• The initial factory default image size setting is 16M (16 million pixels).  
• Selecting “3:2” records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the  
standard aspect ratio of print paper.  
• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has  
an aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio  
of television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are  
compatible with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.  
• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only  
(200 dpi print resolution).  
• Available image sizes are limited for some functions as noted below.

• For information about Flash Range, see page 194.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing  
some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil  
from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can  
become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular  
habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

NOTE  
• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.  
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too  
close.  
• Flash charging time (page 194) depends on operating conditions (battery  
condition, ambient temperature, etc.).  
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,  
which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,  
secure the camera with a tripod, etc.  
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with  
exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.  
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source  
can cause abnormal image colors.  
• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash  
photography is prohibited.  
Red-eye Reduction  
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the  
eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash  
reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash  
mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the  
image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.  
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.

Super Macro  
Super Macro fixes optical zoom at a position that allows you to shoot from the closest  
distance to the subject. The result is closer and larger subject images.  
NOTE  
• Zoom is fixed while Super Macro is selected, so no zoom operation is performed  
when you slide the zoom controller.

To focus with manual focus  
1. On the monitor screen, compose the image so  
the subject you want to focus on is within the  
yellow boundary.  
2. Watching the image on the monitor screen use  
[4] and [6] to adjust focus.  
• At this time the image that is within the boundary  
will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids  
in focusing. If you do not perform any operation for  
two seconds while the enlarged image is displayed,  
the screen in step 1 will re-appear.  
Yellow boundary  
NOTE  
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and  
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.  
• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to  
become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.  
• In the case of movie recording, Auto Macro operates before you start recording.  
After recording is started, however, focus is fixed.  
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus,  
Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell  
you the focus range, as shown below. Note that the focus range is displayed  
including the Auto Macro range only when shooting with Auto Focus.  
Example: oo cm to 9  
* oo is the actual focusing range value.  
• The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page  
96) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.  
• Turning on “Face Detection” causes the focus mode to change automatically to  
Q (Auto Focus). Changing the focus mode setting to anything other than Q (Auto  
Focus) causes “Face Detection” to turn off automatically.

Using Focus Lock  
Subject to be focused on  
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to  
compose an image in which the subject you want to focus  
on is not within the focus frame in the center of the  
screen.  
• To use focus lock, select “Í Spot” or “Ë Tracking”  
for the Auto Focus area (page 46).  
1. Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with  
the subject you want to focus on and then half-  
press the shutter button.  
Focus frame  
2. Keeping the shutter button half-pressed  
(which maintains the focus setting), move the  
camera to compose the image.  
• When “Ë Tracking” is selected as the Auto Focus  
area, the focus frame will move automatically and  
follow the subject.  
3. When you are ready to shoot the image, press the shutter button the  
rest of the way down.  
NOTE  
• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).

screen and focuses there (intelligent AF).  
• Face detection (page 94) operates automatically.  
This mode takes readings of a small area in the center of the  
image. This setting works well with focus lock (page 45).  
When you half-press the shutter button while this setting  
selected, the camera will select the optimum Auto Focus area  
from among nine possible areas. The focus frame of the area  
where the camera focuses will be displayed in green.

• Since higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images, the  
camera performs a noise filtering process. Because of this, it may take  
relatively longer for the camera to finish recording an image after it is shot. You  
will not be able to perform any key operation while image recording is in  
progress.

Zooming with Super Resolution (Zoom (SR))  
There are two types of Super Resolution Zoom: Single SR Zoom and Multi SR Zoom.  
Single SR Zoom uses super resolution to expand the zoom range in which image  
quality deterioration is minimized. Multi SR Zoom shoots a series of High Speed CS  
images, which are then combined into final image to suppress image quality  
deterioration across a range that is greater than Single SR Zoom. For information  
about the effective zoom factor ranges in which Super Resolution Zoom is effective,  
see page 54.  
The procedure below shows how to configure Single SR Zoom settings. For  
information about Multi SR Zoom, see page 85.  
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU].  
2. Use [4] and [6] to select the “REC” tab.  
3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Zoom (SR)” and then press [6].

Using High Speed CS and Prerecord CS  
With High Speed CS, you can configure the camera to shoot at a speed of 3, 5, 10,  
15, or 30 images per second, as long as you keep the shutter button and there is  
memory available to store the images. With Prerecord CS, half-pressing the shutter  
button starts continual pre-recording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you  
press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores what is currently  
in the buffer and starts real-time continuous shutter recording of new images. Real-  
time recording continues until you release the shutter button or until a total of up to  
30 images (buffer images plus new images) are recorded. You can configure  
Prerecord CS to specify how many of the 30 images are recorded in the buffer and  
how many are recorded after you fully press the shutter button. Use Prerecord CS  
when you want to make sure you do not miss fast-moving action.

• You can specify 5, 10, 20, or 30 as the maximum number of shots for each  
continuous shutter operation.  
• You can specify anywhere from 1 second up to 10 seconds as the continuous  
shutter shooting time, which is the amount of time of the pre-record buffer plus the  
amount of time that continuous shutter recording is performed after the shutter  
button is pressed all the way. The maximum shooting time depends on the  
selected CS speed. You can select a CS speed in the range of 3 to 30 fps.

you fully press the shutter button.  
• The minimum number of pre-recorded buffer images you can specify is three. Total  
recording time depends on the current continuous shutter frames-per-second (fps)  
setting.  
• Specifying zero for the number of pre-recorded images disables Prerecord CS and  
performs High Speed CS only (without pre-recording). Note that the mechanical  
shutter is used when shooting with High Speed CS.

NOTE  
• Note the following when selecting a High Speed CS speed (fps) setting.  
– Use a higher High Speed CS speed (fps) setting when shooting a fast-moving  
subject.  
– Use a slower High Speed CS speed (fps) setting when shooting a slower-moving  
subject.  
• Note the following when selecting a High Speed CS maximum number of shots  
setting.  
– The greater the number of shots, the longer it takes to save them after shooting  
is complete.  
• Note the following when specifying a Prerecord CS shots setting.  
– A setting that results in a Prerecord CS operation that takes at least 0.3 seconds  
is recommended because there is a minimal lag from about 0.1 seconds to  
0.3 seconds between the point you decide to shoot and the point that the shutter  
button is fully depressed.

Continuous Shutter Precautions  
• When shooting CS images, the snapshot image quality automatically changes to  
“Normal”.  
• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able  
to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure  
your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using  
continuous shutter.  
• With High Speed CS, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for  
successive images as well.  
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is  
finished.  
• With High Speed CS, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash Off).  
• Zoom is disabled during continuous shutter operations.  
• The following image sizes cannot be selected while shooting with High Speed CS:  
“3:2”, “16:9”. Entering the High Speed CS mode while any one of these image  
sizes is selected will cause the image size setting to change to “16M”  
automatically.  
• With High Speed CS, the maximum number of images that can be recorded during  
each session is limited, regardless of how much memory card storage capacity is  
available.  
Specified maximum number of continuous shutter shots  
(Max CS shots)  
High Speed CS  
The number of images will be restricted even further or shooting may be impossible  
when remaining memory card capacity is less than the allowable number of images  
for a particular CS mode.  
• The Triple Self-time cannot be used in the High Speed CS mode.  
• The Self-timer cannot be used in the Prerecord CS mode.  
• You cannot enter the Continuous Shutter (CS) mode while Premium Auto PRO is  
being used. The camera will automatically shoot a series of images if it determines  
current shooting conditions require it.  
• Single SR Zoom and Multi SR Zoom cannot be used in combination with High  
Speed CS.

Recording Movies with Premium Auto PRO  
When Premium Auto PRO is enabled (page 28), the  
camera automatically make judgments about the  
subject, shooting conditions, and other parameters.  
The result is higher quality images than those produced by Auto recording. The  
shooting environment detected by the camera is displayed in the lower right corner of  
the REC mode screen.  
• Premium Auto PRO is enabled for FHD movies and STD movies only.  
• Using Premium Auto PRO uses up the battery charge more quickly than using Auto  
recording.  
Shooting with BEST SHOT  
With BEST SHOT (page 70), you can select the sample scene that matches the type  
of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for  
beautiful movies every time. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for  
example, will shoot images with vivid green trees and grass. Note that some BEST  
SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie.  
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording  
You can use Anti Shake (page 93) to configure the camera to minimize the effects of  
camera movement during FHD and STD movie recording. Note that Anti Shake  
cannot be used with HDR Art Movie and that Anti Shake does not prevent image blur  
due to subject movement.  
Audio  
Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio (stereo)  
during movie recording.  
• Your camera has a function to reduce wind noise (Wind Noise Cut) when recording  
movies (page 96).  
. Recording Precautions  
The camera also records audio. Note the following  
points when shooting a movie.  
Microphones  
– Take care that the microphones are not blocked by  
your fingers, etc.  
– Good audio recording results are not possible when  
the camera is too far away from what you are trying  
to record.  
– Performing a zoom operation while shooting can cause zoom and/or auto focus  
noise to be in the audio recording.  
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked  
up in the audio.  
• When shooting with the “HS” movie mode at a frame rate setting of “30-120 fps” or  
“30-240 fps”, audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at 30 fps. Audio is  
not recorded at any other frame rates.

IMPORTANT!  
• 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.  
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can  
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the  
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop  
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down,  
which should cause normal operation to resume.  
• Using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow  
down processing speed. Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type  
memory card. Note, however, that not all operations can be guaranteed even if an  
Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain movie quality settings can  
result in too much time being required to record data, which can result in breaks in  
the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens, the Y will turn yellow on  
the monitor screen.  
NOTE  
• Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie  
recording (page 51). Zoom is disabled during high speed movie recording. To use  
optical zoom for high speed movie recording, perform the zoom operation before  
you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.  
• Both Single SR Zoom (page 55) and Multi SR Zoom (page 85) are disabled during  
movie 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.  
• Except for High Speed Movie, Continuous AF (page 95) is performed during movie  
recording while “Auto Focus” or “Macro” is selected for the “Focus” setting.  
• During High Speed Movie recording (HS120, HS240, HS480), focus is fixed at the  
position where it was when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the  
shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to  
start recording.  
• Continuous AF is operational when recording at 30 fps with “HS30-120” or  
“HS30-240”. However, focus becomes fixed whenever you switch to 120 fps or  
240 fps.  
• Face Detection is disabled during normal FHD and STD, and high speed movie  
recording. Face Detection is enabled when shooting movies with Premium Auto  
PRO (FHD and STD).  
• The following functions do not support movie recording.  
HDR, Multi SR Zoom, Slide Panorama, High Speed Best Selection,  
Lag Correction, High Speed Anti Shake, Blurred Background, Wide Shot,

screen may be smaller than normal. When recording a high speed movie, there are  
black bands along the top, bottom, left, and right of the screen.  
• When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal  
bands to appear in the image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.  
• Monitor screen content switching is disabled during high speed movie recording.

detects automatically whether it is being hand-held or on a tripod. If the camera  
detects it is being hand-held, pressing the shutter button will record a series of  
images and combine them in a way that minimizes image blur due to low light  
conditions. If the camera detects it is on a tripod, it will shoot a single image using a  
longer exposure time (instead of shooting and combining multiple images), which  
results in an even clearer image. The flash is always disabled while “High Speed  
Night Scene” is selected. If the night scene image you are shooting includes people,  
use the “High Speed Night Scene and Portrait” BEST SHOT scene. The flash mode  
setting becomes > (Auto Flash) when shooting with “High Speed Night Scene and

cause anti shake to be performed, which can cause the image area to become  
narrower than normal.  
• Movement while the camera is mounted on a tripod may cause the camera to  
erroneously judge it is being hand held.  
• If surroundings are extremely dark when shooting with “High Speed Night Scene”  
or “High Speed Night Scene and Portrait”, the camera may not be able to shoot at  
proper brightness due to insufficient exposure.  
• When shooting with these BEST SHOT scenes, the “ISO Sensitivity” (page 47) and

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.  
Configuring camera settings  
Configure DPOF settings (page 135).  
You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure  
settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.  
Configure the Camera’s Timestamp setting (page 161).  
• The camera’s Timestamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you  
shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.  
• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date  
stamped with the camera’s Timestamp function. Doing so can cause the two  
stamps to be overprinted.  
Configuring computer settings  
You can use commercially available image management software to date  
stamp images.  
Professional print service  
Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.

. Standards Supported by the Camera  
• PictBridge  
This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association  
(CIPA). You can connect the camera directly to a printer that supports  
PictBridge, and perform image selection and printing using the  
camera monitor screen and controls.  
• PRINT Image Matching III  
Using image editing software and printing on a printer that supports  
PRINT Image Matching III makes it possible to use information about  
shooting conditions that is recorded with the image, and produce  
exactly the type of image you want. PRINT Image Matching and  
PRINT Image Matching III are trademarks of Seiko Epson Corporation.  
• Exif Print  
Printing on a printer that supports Exif Print uses information about  
shooting conditions recorded with the image to enhance printed  
image quality. Contact your printer manufacturer for information  
about models that support Exif Print, printer upgrades, etc.

will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter  
remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or  
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing  
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.  
NOTE  
• You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially

. 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 folders it to  
change their names to dates or something similar after you copy them to your  
computer. If you later decided to return a DCIM folder to the camera, however, be  
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a  
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the  
folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had  
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.  
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”  
shown on page 155 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.  
• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access  
camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.

Specifying the File Name Serial Number Generation Rule  
(File No.)  
Procedure  
[MENU] * “Set Up” Tab * File No.  
Use the following procedure to specify the rule that governs generation of the serial  
number used in file names (page 154).  
Tells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will  
be named using the next sequential number, even if files are deleted or  
if a blank memory card is loaded. If a memory card is loaded and that  
Continue card already has files stored on it and the largest sequential number in  
the existing file names is greater than the largest sequential number  
remembered by the camera, numbering of new files will start from the  
largest sequential number in the memory card file names plus 1.  
Restarts the serial number from 0001 whenever all files are deleted or  
when the memory card is replaced with a blank one. If a memory card  
Reset  
is loaded and that card already has files stored on it, numbering of new  
files will start from the largest sequential number in the memory card  
file names plus 1.

. Data Error Precautions  
Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the  
following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.  
– Removing the battery or memory card while the camera is performing some  
operation  
– Removing the battery or memory card while the back lamp is flashing green after  
turning off the camera  
– Disconnecting the USB cable while communication is in progress  
– Shooting with a battery that quickly goes low right after it is charged  
* Shooting with a battery that quickly goes low right after it is charged can also cause  
camera malfunction. Replace the battery with a new one immediately.  
– Other abnormal operations  
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor  
screen (page 188). Perform the action indicated by the message that appears.  
. Operating Environment  
• Operating Temperature Requirements: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)  
• Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation)  
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.  
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture, dust, or sand  
– 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  
. Condensation  
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, which creates  
the risk of malfunction. To prevent condensation from forming seal the camera in a  
plastic bag before changing locations. Then leave the bag sealed to allow the air  
inside to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location.  
After that, remove the camera from the bag and open the battery cover for a few  
hours.

• 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  
lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

. Caring for your camera  
• Never touch the lens or flash window with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and  
other foreign matter on the lens or flash window can interfere with proper operation  
of the camera. Use a blower or other means to keep the lens and flash window free  
of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.  
• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
. Old Rechargeable Battery Handling Precautions  
• Insulate the positive and negative terminals with tape, etc.  
• Do not peel the covering off of the battery.  
• Do not try to take the battery apart.  
. USB-AC adaptor Handling Precautions  
-
0 Never plug the power cord into an outlet whose voltage rating is different from  
that marked on the power cord. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction,  
and electric shock.  
0 Take care to protect the power cord against damage and breaking. Never place  
heavy objects onto the power cord, or expose it to intense heat. Doing so can  
damage the power cord, creating the risk of fire and electric shock.  
0 Never try to modify the power cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or  
pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
0 Never plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so  
creates the risk of electric shock.  
0 Do not plug the power cord into an outlet or extension cord that is shared by  
other devices. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
0 Should the power cord ever become damaged (to the point that internal wires  
are exposed or cut), immediately contact your original retailer or a CASIO  
authorized service center to request repair. Continued use of a damaged power  
cord creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.  
• The USB-AC adaptor becomes slightly warm during charging. This is normal and  
does not indicate malfunction.  
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the USB-AC  
adaptor.  
• Never use detergent to clean the power cord (especially the plug).  
• Never cover the USB-AC adaptor with a blanket, etc. Doing so creates the risk of  
fire.

Power Supply  
Charging  
. If the camera’s back lamp starts flashing red...  
If the back lamp starts flashing red during charging, it means that further charging is  
not possible for one of the reasons below. Perform the actions described below to  
correct the problem and then try charging again.  
Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery is abnormally high  
or low  
Unplug the USB cable from the camera and wait for a while until the camera is within  
the temperature range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F), and then try charging again.  
Safety timer activated  
A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and  
connection conditions can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging  
takes longer than about six hours, a safety timer will terminate it automatically, even if  
the battery is not fully charged. If the battery has not been used for a very long time,  
charging may terminate automatically after only about 45 minutes.  
1) Using a battery that has not been used for a long time.  
Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to resume charging.  
2) Insufficient power supply when connected to computer.  
Connect directly to a USB port what supplies a current of 500mA.  
For details about the power supply capacity of a computer’s USB port, contact the  
manufacturer of the computer. Though disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB  
cable will resume charging, you may need to do so repeatedly if the power supply  
capacity of the computer is low.  
If problems continue to occur after you perform the above steps, it could mean that  
the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.

Battery Precautions  
. 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). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than  
normal or even fail.  
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.  
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably  
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a  
new one.  
. Storage Precautions  
• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of  
battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use  
up its charge before storing it.  
• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left  
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge  
when you need to use the camera.  
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).  
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in  
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.  
Using the Camera in another Country  
. Precautions during Use  
• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in  
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the  
power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the  
camera and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the  
power supply requirements in your destination(s).  
• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter  
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.  
. Extra Batteries  
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-110) is recommended while on a trip  
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.

Using a Memory Card  
See page 23 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a  
memory card.  
. Using a Memory Card  
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC  
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the  
switch when you need to guard against accidentally  
deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an  
SD memory card you must then turn write protection  
off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or  
delete any of its images.  
Write enabled  
Write disabled  
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during  
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 167).  
However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards  
whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.  
• 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.  
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to  
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data  
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.)  
. Memory Card Handling Precautions  
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever possible  
use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all operations  
can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain  
movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to record data,  
which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens,  
Y
the  
will turn yellow on the monitor screen.  
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the  
Camera  
The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the  
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the  
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended  
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to  
another party.  
• When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or use  
commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the  
memory card.  
• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially  
available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.  
Use the format function (page 167) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure  
(+Histogram)  
Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to  
check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can  
display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the  
exposure levels of images.  
Histogram  
NOTE  
• 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.  
• 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 is  
shot.  
• The histogram cannot be displayed during high speed movie recording.

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. 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. For snapshots, you can even display individual histograms for R (red),  
G (green), and B (blue).  
Example Histograms  
A histogram towards the left side 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.  
A histogram towards the right side 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.  
An overall well-balanced histogram results when  
the overall image is at optimal lightness.

*1 Built-in memory capacity after formatting (Approx. 52.2MB)  
*2 Based on a 16GB SDHC memory card (SanDisk Corporation). The number of images  
you can save depends on the type of memory card you are using.  
*3 Recordable time when the entire movie is recorded at 30 fps. Recording time is shorter  
if the 30 fps frame rate is switched to 120 fps or 240 fps during recording.  
*4 “HD” appears in place of “FHD” when you are shooting with “HDR Art” (page 83).  
• Snapshot and movie recording capacity values are approximate and intended for  
reference only. Actual capacity depends on image contents.  
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual  
values depend on the type of image being shot.  
• When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a  
percentage of 16GB.  
• The time it takes to play back a high speed movie will be different from the time it takes to  
record it. If you record a 240 fps high speed movie for 10 seconds, for example, it will  
take 80 seconds to play it back.

• Measurement Conditions  
*1 Approximate number of shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)  
In accordance with CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association) standards  
Normal temperature (23°C (73°F)), monitor on, zoom operation between full wide and  
full telephoto every 30 seconds, during which two images are shot with flash; power  
turned off and back on every time 10 images are shot.  
*2 Approximate playback time  
Standard temperature (23°C (73°F)), one-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds  
*3 Approximate time using a 16GB SDHC memory card for a repeated cycle of 10 minutes  
recording followed by deletion of the recorded file.  
• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated  
charging shortens battery life.  
• Frequency of flash, zoom, High Speed Continuous Shutter, and Auto Focus usage,  
and the time the camera is on greatly affects recording time and number of shots  
values.
