The lens cap opens and closes automatically in accordance with the lens position, so you can leave it in place, if you want. Make sure the lens cap is attached to the lens so the dot mark on the cap is upwards, with the large blades of the cap on the left and right. If the cap is in the wrong position, its blades can cause partial darkening of images when shooting with flash.
Attach either end of the strap to the two strap rings on the sides of the camera as shown in the illustration.
After you are finished pull on the strap to test it and to make sure it does not come loose.
. Adjusting the Length of the Strap You can adjust the length of the strap so it can be used as a neck strap or a shoulder strap.

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.

21 Quick Start Basics
. Returning the Monitor Screen to Its Normal Position
1. Hold the bottom of the monitor screen and rotate it, or press the top of the monitor screen to return it to its normal position.
2. Slide the monitor screen up as far as it will go.
. What you can do with the camera... Shoot self-portraits
You can position the monitor screen so it faces in the same direction as the lens, for easy composition of self-portraits. You can also use a stand on the back of the camera to keep the camera upright when placed on a tabletop or other surface.
22 Quick Start Basics
Your camera has a built-in stand. You can pull out the stand and keep the camera stable on a tabletop or other surface while the monitor screen is tilted upwards 180 degrees. When using the camera on a tabletop or other surface for landscape (horizontal) orientation shots, you can adjust the vertical angle of the camera somewhat by changing how far you pull out the stand.
IMPORTANT!
When using the camera on a tabletop or other surface for portrait (vertical) orientation shots, pull the stand out as much as possible so the camera is stable. Pulling the stand out part way in this case can cause the camera to become unstable and fall over.
Even when using the stand to adjust the vertical angle of the camera while shooting with landscape (horizontal) orientation, take care to extend the stand far enough to avoid camera instability, which can cause it to fall over.
Whenever using the stand, make sure that the location where you place the camera is stable and relatively level.
Low-angle shots High-angle shots
The tilt angle of the monitor screen can be adjusted for each composition of images from various low angles.
You can tilt the monitor screen in a way that allows you to shoot from high angles.

IMPORTANT!
A battery that has not been used for a long time, or ambient temperature extremes can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging takes longer than about five hours, a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. This is indicated by the back lamp flashing red. If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may be terminated automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red after only about 60 minutes. In either case, disconnect the USB cable from the camera and then reconnect it to resume charging.
Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the [USB] port until you feel it click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor communication or malfunction.
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.
Pressing [ON/OFF] (Power) while the USB-AC adaptor is connected to the camera will turn on the camera with power being supplied by the battery. Because of this, charging will stop.

Other Charging Precautions With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the cameras
battery (NP-130A) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-130L). Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in unexpected accident.
This model can be charged only via from USB 2.0 specification USB port only. 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 cameras 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. Never use the power cord with another device. Use only the USB-AC adaptor and USB cable specified in this manual for charging.
Use of any other type of devices may result in improper charging.

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 194).
See page 230 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips Entering the ECO Mode enables low-power operation (page 187). When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting
(page 56). Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 191, 191). Select Off for Continuous AF (page 125).
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 195).

30 Quick Start Basics
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 225.
SD Memory Card SDHC Memory Card SDXC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card. The above are supported memory card types as of January 2014. This camera supports use of SD memory cards of the following types and
capacities: SD memory cards up to 2GB, SDHC memory cards from 2GB up to 32GB, SDXC memory cards from 32GB up to 2TB. Note that the ability to use any particular card with this camera, even if it satisfies the above capacity and type requirements, is not guaranteed.
. 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.
Preparing a Memory Card
Supported Memory Cards
31 Quick Start Basics
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera and then open the battery cover.

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 onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand when shooting an image.
Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can
cause digital noise in the monitor screen image. The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual
image will be recorded at the quality set for the image quality setting (page 118).
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.
Snapshot Shooting Precautions
42 Quick Start Basics
. 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

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] (nearer) and [6] (further) to adjust focus. At this time the image that is within the boundary
will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids in focusing. While an image is enlarged, you can use [2] (6X) and [8] (9X) to change its zoom factor.
When the function ring (page 46) is set to MF (Manual Focus), you can use the function ring for focusing.
3. After the focus is the way you want, press [SET].
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 - 9 * oo is the actual focusing range value.

When not using flash, press down on the flash unit until it locks into place with a click.
The flash unit pops up automatically, so make sure your hand is not pressing down on it. Also, take care there is no pressure applied to flash unit while it is popped up.
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 229) 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.

58 Snapshot Tutorial
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.
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure.
1. In the REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the (Metering) Control Panel option, and then press [SET].

Specifying the Metering Mode (Metering)
Setting REC Screen Icon Display Description
Multi None
Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions.
Center Weighted
Center weighted metering concentrates on the center of the focus area to measure light. This type of metering is best when you want some level of control over contrast.
Spot
Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering method when you want exposure to be set according to the brightness of a particular subject, without being affected by surrounding conditions.

2. Press the shutter button to shoot.
Shooting with Zoom
Optical zoom Zooming is performed by changing the lens focal distance, so there is no deterioration of image quality.
HD Zoom Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the original image and enlarging it, without deterioration of image quality.
Single SR Zoom Applies super resolution technology to suppress image deterioration (page 63).
Multi SR Zoom
Shoots a burst of high-speed images, which are then combined into a final image in a way that lessens deterioration of image quality. Multi SR Zoom is enabled only when the Multi SR Zoom BEST SHOT scene is selected (page 64).
Digital zoom A digital process is used to enlarge the center of the image, so there is deterioration of image quality.
w (Wide Angle): Reduces the size of the subject and broadens the range. z (Telephoto) : Enlarges the subject and narrows the range.

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. The camera may automatically adjust its monitor screen brightness in order to reduce heat generation.
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 cameras 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 cameras 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 Zoom operations are supported during movie recording (page 59). Zoom is
disabled during high speed movie recording. To use zoom for high speed movie recording, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
Both Single SR Zoom (page 63) and Multi SR Zoom (page 64) 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 125) is performed during movie recording while AF (Auto Focus) or Macro is selected for the Focus setting.
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. Some BEST SHOT scenes, some ART SHOT scenes, Time Lapse, Intelligent Bracketing

Procedure
Enter the REC Mode * [MENU] * r REC MENU Tab * Shooting Info You can use the above procedure to display a grid or histogram, or the movie shooting range on the monitor screen during recording.
Changing the Monitor Screen when Recording (Shooting Info)
Grid
Selecting On for this setting displays grid lines on the monitor screen. The grid lines provide references that help you keep the camera vertically and horizontally straight.
Histogram
Selecting On for this setting displays a histogram on the monitor screen. This histogram lets you view exposure information while shooting.
NOTE 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 movie recording.
Electronic Level
When this setting is On, a line on the monitor screen shows the current left/ right and front/back tilt of the camera. The line changes to blue when the camera is level (no left/right and front/ back tilt).
NOTE The electronic level is not displayed during movie recording
and while shooting with some BEST SHOT scenes. Note that the electronic level has a margin of error of 1
degree. It is intended for use as a rough guide only.
Histogram
Line
112 Advanced Settings (REC MENU)
. 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
Movie Range
Selecting On for this setting displays a semitransparent gray frame on the monitor screen. The area within the frame is what is recorded as the movie.
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.
Semi-transparent gray frame
113 Advanced Settings (REC MENU)
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.
Procedure
Enter the REC Mode * [MENU] * r REC MENU Tab * Review While Review is turned on, the camera will display an image for about one second immediately after it is recorded. Note, however, that images remain on the monitor screen only when the Type 4 option is selected.

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.
. Pixels and image size 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 size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixelsxvertical pixels.
Example:
Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space. For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be
stored, see page 225. For information about movie image size, see page 118. For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 155.
RAW+JPEG
This option can be selected only when shooting snapshots in the modes below. Selecting a mode other than one included below while RAW+JPEG is selected will cause shooting to be performed with the 12M image size. Program Auto, A (Aperture AE) mode, S (Shutter Speed AE) mode, M (Manual Exposure) mode

Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your Macintosh before trying to play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a network, from a memory card, etc.
The camera creates a file each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name. For details about how folders are organized in memory, see Memory Folder
Structure (page 185).
You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file names are displayed on the cameras monitor screen, see page 15.
The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.
Files and Folders
Name and Maximum Number Allowed Example

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 cameras 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 is 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 185 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

. If the cameras 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 15C to 35C (59F to 95F), 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 5 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 60 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 The camera can be charged only via a USB 2.0 standard USB port. Connect directly to a USB port what supplies a current of 500mA.
For details about the power supply capacity of a computers 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.
Power Supply
Charging
If problems persist after you perform the above steps or if the battery fails to charge after 5 hours, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.
213 Appendix
. 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 15C to 35C (59F to 95F). 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 (20C (68F) 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.
. 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 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-130A) is recommended while on a
trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.
Battery Precautions
Using the Camera in another Country
214 Appendix
See page 30 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.
If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 197). 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, the Y will turn yellow on the monitor screen.

*6 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.
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.

Approximate Battery Life All of the values provided below represent the approximate amount of time under normal temperature (23C (73F)) before the camera turns off. These values are not guaranteed. Low temperatures shorten battery life.
Temperature: 23C (73F) Battery: NP-130A (Rated Capacity: 1800 mAh) Recording Medium: 16GB SDHC memory card (SanDisk Corporation)
*1 In accordance with CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association) standards *2 In accordance with CASIO standards *3 Other settings
Time Lapse scene: TL Standard, Recording interval: 1/2 second, Total time: Off, Sleep: 1 minute
*4 One-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds
The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery life.
The above values are for reference only. They do not guarantee that the specified battery life will be attained under actual operating conditions.
Frequency of flash, zoom, Auto Focus, and High Speed CS usage, configured settings, the amount of time the camera is left turned on, and ambient temperature in the area where the camera is used all greatly affect recording time and number of shots values.
