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.

Quick Start Basics What is a digital camera?

Delete

A digital camera stores images on a memory card, so you can record and delete images a countless number of times.

Play

Record

You can use the images you record in a variety of different ways.

Store images on your computer.

Print images. Attach images to e-mail.

13 Quick Start Basics

Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to make recording of digital images easier, including the following three main functions.

What you can do with your CASIO camera

Simply select the sample scene you want and the camera sets up automatically. Then all you need do is press the shutter button for perfect images. An AUTO BEST SHOT mode automatically selects the appropriate BEST SHOT sample scene based on current shooting conditions.

Pressing the button sets the camera up to smooth the skin texture of the subject and softens facial shadows caused by harsh sunlight for better looking portraits.

See pages 44 , 45 for more information.

See page 51 for more information.

See page 105 for more information.

Dynamic Photo

Extract a moving subject out of a series of Continuous Shutter images you have shot and insert them into another image to create a Dynamic Photo image that features the moving subject.

Make-up Mode/Landscape Mode

BEST SHOT

Pressing the button makes colors more vivid and performs other processes to enhance the beauty of natural scenery.

15 Quick Start Basics

Other Charging Precautions Use the special charger (BC-90L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-90).

Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in unexpected accident.

A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery time to cool before charging it.

A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to use it.

Charging the cameras battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or radio.

Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

1. Open the battery cover. Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN and then open it as indicated by the arrows in the illustration.

2. Load the battery. With the EXILIM logo on the battery facing downwards (in the direction of the lens), hold the stopper next to the battery in the direction indicated by the arrow as you slide the battery into the camera. Press the battery in until the stopper secures it in place.

3. Close the battery cover. Close the battery cover and then shift the slider towards LOCK. For information about how to replace the

battery, see page 154.

17 Quick Start Basics

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 140). Note that a version of this manual in the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the Japanese market.

1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the camera.

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: 19. 12. 09 YY/MM/DD * 09/12/19 DD/MM/YY * 19/12/09 MM/DD/YY * 12/19/09

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 [BS].

5. After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6] to select Apply and then press [SET].

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the Camera

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 140 Date and time: Page 139

18 Quick Start Basics

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.

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 170.

SD Memory Card SDHC Memory Card

Use one of the above types of memory card.

1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then open the battery cover. Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN and then open it as indicated by the arrows in the illustration.

2. Load a memory card. Positioning the memory card so its front is facing upwards (towards the monitor screen side of the camera), slide it into the card slot all the way in until you hear it click securely into place.

3. Close the battery cover. Close the battery cover and then shift the slider towards LOCK. For information about how to replace the

memory card, see page 156.

IMPORTANT!

Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 18) into the memory card slot.

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.

You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.

1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

2. Select the Set Up tab, select Format and then press [6].

3. Use [8] and [2] to select Format and then press [SET].

IMPORTANT!

Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format the card.

Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc.

Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

23 Quick Start Basics

. Using Quick Shutter Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record using Quick Shutter (page 73). With Quick Shutter, the camera focuses faster than normal Auto Focus, which

means you can capture quick moving action more easily. Note, however, that some images may be out of focus when Quick Shutter is used.

Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press the shutter button in order to ensure proper focus.

. If the image does not focus... If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.) Re-point the camera at the subject and try to focus again.

. If the subject is not in the center of the frame... Focus lock (page 64) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in the center of the screen.

. To track the movement of a moving subject Use [4] and [6] to follow and focus automatically on a moving subject, without half- pressing the shutter button. See Tracking (page 34) for more information.

24 Quick Start Basics

Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the shutter button. When pressing the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera as shown in the illustration below, and keep it still by pressing your arms firmly against your sides as you shoot. Holding the camera still, carefully press the shutter button and take care to avoid all movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.

NOTE Hold the camera securely in your left hand, with

your fingers around the grip on the right front of the camera.

Take care that your fingers and the strap do not cover any of the areas indicated in the illustration.

To protect against accidentally dropping the camera, attach the wrist strap and make sure it is around your fingers or wrist while you are operating the camera.

Never swing the camera around by its strap. The supplied strap is intended for use with this

camera only. Never use it for any other purpose.

IMPORTANT!

Take care to ensure that your fingers are not blocking or are not too close to the flash. Fingers can cause unwanted shadows when using the flash.

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 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 76).

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an

image.

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 lamp to reach Camera movement while shooting Fast-moving subject Subjects outside the focus range of the camera

30 Snapshot Tutorial

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

Image Size Selection Tips 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 170.

For information about movie image size, see page 77. For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 102.

8M (3264x2448) size image = Approximately 8 million pixels

* Unit: pixels

VGA (640x480) size image = Approximately 300,000 pixels

Large Number of Pixels

More detail, but takes up more memory. Best when you plan to print large-size prints (such as A3 size).

Small Number of Pixels

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 173) 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 photograph 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. The camera also has an auto red-eye correction feature that corrects for red-eye in recorded images. 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.

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 continuous shutter, 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.

Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following. Some BEST SHOT scenes (AUTO BEST SHOT, Dynamic Photo, Multi-motion

Image, ID Photo, Business cards and documents, White board, etc., For YouTube, Voice Recording)

Make-up Mode, Landscape Mode The speed of CS: Normal Speed CS depends on the type of memory card loaded

in the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting to built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.

CS: Normal Speed CS speed is slower when shooting with flash. You cannot use the self-timer in combination with CS: Normal Speed CS,

CS: 4 fps, CS: 10 fps. Note that images recorded with CS: 4 fps, CS: 10 fps and CS: Flash are of

somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded with CS: Normal Speed CS.

The ISO sensitivity setting always is AUTO for CS: 4 fps, CS: 10 fps and CS: Flash, regardless of the cameras current ISO sensitivity setting.

The flash range for Flash CS is narrower than that for normal flash. Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the

The following BEST SHOT scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot: For YouTube.

The Voice Recording scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording a movie.

Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks results in a slow shutter speed setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the image, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the image to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.

Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either For eBay or Auction. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 133).

High Sensitivity The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the cameras flash fires. High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions. When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring

due to camera movement. Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise

filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next shot.

BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera. Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected

due to shooting conditions and other factors. You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT

scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

as 2M (1600x1200 pixels) images. Digital zoom is disabled while shooting with the White board, etc. and Business

cards and documents scenes. However, you can use optical zoom (page 42).

With this feature, you can shoot your own self-portrait simply by pointing the camera at your face. BEST SHOT has two self-portrait scenes from which to choose.

1. Press [BS] and then select Self-portrait (1 person) or Self-portrait (2 people).

2. Press the shutter button all the way down, and point the camera at yourself. About three seconds after you press the shutter button, the camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and start face detection. The camera will go into Auto Shutter standby and detect the faces of any people in the image. When the camera is able to detect the number of required individuals, it will release the shutter automatically when it determines there is no image blur. The camera will emit a shutter sound and the front lamp will flash twice when

the shutter is released. To cancel Auto Shutter standby, press [SET].

Recording a Self-portrait

Self-portrait (1 person): Shoots when the face of at least one person, including you, is detected.

Self-portrait (2 people) : Shoots when the faces of at least two people, including you, are detected.

59 Using BEST SHOT

NOTE To shoot with the self-portrait feature in combination with a continuous shutter (CS)

mode (page 37), turn off the Make-up Mode (page 44). Operation is the same as that when a continuous shutter (CS) mode is used in combination with Auto Shutter. See page 68 for more information.

IMPORTANT!

If the camera remains in Auto Shutter standby without releasing the shutter, you can record an image by pressing the shutter button all the way down again.

Shooting with the self-portrait feature may produce a blurred image when shooting in areas where lighting is dim, which results in a very slow shutter speed setting.

The Auto Power Off (page 141) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 140) is disabled while Auto Shutter being used.

Multi-motion Image can be used to isolate a moving subject within a series of multiple images and places them against a stationary background. Make sure that the camera is not moving or shaking when shooting with Multi-motion Image.

1. Press [BS] and then select the Multi-motion Image scene.

2. Press the shutter button to start shooting. Continuous Shutter shooting will stop after some time, and the resulting composite image will appear on the monitor screen. Keep the camera still until all of the continuous shutter images are recorded. When using this feature, image size is fixed at 3M (2048x1536 pixels).

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.

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. Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only. 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. Example: oo cm to 9 * oo is the actual focusing range value.

. Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) DPOF is a standard that allows you to include image type, number of copy, and time stamp on/off information on the memory card with the images. 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. Whether or not you will be able to use DPOF settings for printing depends on the

printer you are using. Some professional print services may not support DPOF.

. Configuring DPOF Settings Individually for Each Image Procedure

[p] (PLAY) * Snapshot Screen * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * DPOF Printing * Select images

1. Use [4] and [6] to scroll through the files until the image you want to print is displayed.

. Configuring the Same DPOF Settings for All the Images Procedure

[p] (PLAY) * Snapshot Screen * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * DPOF Printing * All images

1. Use [8] and [2] to specify the number of copies. You can specify a value up to 99. Specify 00 if you do not want to print the image. If you want to include the date in the images, press [BS] so On is shown for

date stamping.

2. Press [SET].

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 dont, the print service may print all the images without regard to your DPOF settings, or they may ignore your date stamp setting.

114 Printing

. Date Stamping You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the printout of an image.

. Standards Supported by the Camera PictBridge

This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA).

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 (Exif 2.2) 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.

Configuring camera settings

Configure DPOF settings (page 112). 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 dont.

Configure the Cameras Time Stamp setting (page 138). The cameras Time Stamp 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 cameras Time Stamp 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.

. 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 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 copies of the DCIM folders it to change its name to a date or something similar after you copy it to your computer. If you later decided to return the folder to the camera, however, be sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had when you copied them from the camera to your computer.

Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the Memory Folder Structure shown on page 133 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 cameras memory card.

A Subject Image File (CIMG****.JPE) contains special image data. Never edit a Subject Image File on your computer and transfer it back to the camera. Doing so can cause abnormal camera operation.

Configuring Monitor Screen Settings You can turn display information on and off by pressing [8] (DISP). You can configure separate settings for the REC mode and PLAY mode.

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. You can use key customization (page 73) to configure the [4] and

[6] buttons so they control the EV shift setting (page 41), and perform EV shift while viewing the results on the on-screen 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.

Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure

Histogram

Histogram

145 Configuring Monitor Screen Settings

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

How to Use the Histogram

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.

. 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 5C to 35C (41F 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 charger 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 charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply requirements in your destination(s).

Do not connect the charger 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-90) is recommended while on a trip

in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.

156 Appendix

See page 18 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a 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.

. Using a Memory Card SD memory cards and SDHC 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 143). 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 cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may experience problems saving high-quality (HD and STD) movies. Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by and Y flashing on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

. 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 143) to completely delete the data in built-in memory before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action Power Supply

Power does not turn on.

1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 15). 2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14). If the

battery goes dead soon after being charged, it means the battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-90 rechargeable lithium ion battery.

The camera suddenly powers down.

1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 141). Turn power back on.

2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14). 3)The cameras protection function may have activated

because camera temperature is too high. Turn off the camera and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again.

Power will not turn off. Nothing happens when a button is pressed.

Remove the battery from the camera and then reload it.

Image Recording Image is not recorded when the shutter button is pressed.

1)If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press [r] (REC) to enter the REC Mode.

2)If the flash is charging, wait until the charge operation finishes.

3)If the message Memory Full appears, transfer images to your computer, delete images you no longer need, or use a different memory card.

Auto Focus does not focus properly.

1)If the lens is dirty, clean it off. 2)The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when

you compose the image. 3)The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is

compatible with Auto Focus (page 27). Use manual focus (page 62).

4)You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting with Anti Shake or use a tripod.

5)You may be pressing the shutter button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus. Half-press the shutter button and allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.

163 Appendix

The subject is out of focus in the recorded image.

The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame.

The flash does not fire.

1)If ? (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 32).

2)If the battery is dead, charge it (page 14). 3)If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ? (Flash Off) is selected,

change to a different flash mode (page 32) or select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 51).

The ? (Flash Off) icon flashes red on the monitor screen and the flash does not fire.

The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO service center or your original retailer. Note that though the flash will not fire, you still can use the camera for non-flash shots.

Camera powers down during Self- timer countdown.

The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14).

The monitor screen image is out of focus.

1)You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the image. Focus the image (page 62).

2)You may be using (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 62).

3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus or ) (Infinity) when shooting a close-up shot. Use the (Macro) for close ups (page 62).

There is a vertical line in the monitor screen image.

Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD phenomenon known as vertical smear, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.

There is digital noise in images.

1)Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with ? (Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 32) or use lights for illumination.

3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action

164 Appendix

A recorded image was not saved.

1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. If the battery indicator shows , charge the battery as soon as possible (page 16).

2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card before the save operation is complete.

Though available lighting is bright, the faces of people in the image are dark.

Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash mode setting to < (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 32), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 41).

Night shots come out bad.

Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 51) when shooting at night. Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only) Night Scene Portrait (for shooting people against night

scenery)

Subjects are too dark when shooting images in a seashore or ski area.

Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to < (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 32), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 41).

The focus frame does not appear on the monitor screen.

Normally, turning off the camera while Detect Smile is selected for Auto Shutter will cause the cameras face detection setting to change. You will need to change the face detection setting again after turn on the camera. You can tell the camera to remember the Auto Shutter setting by selecting On for the Auto Shutter power on default setting (page 75).

Digital zoom (including HD zoom) does not work. The zoom bar indicates zoom only up to a zoom factor of 10.0.

1)The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital zoom (page 72).

2)Date stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital zoom to be disabled. Turn off date stamping (page 138).

3)Digital zoom is disabled when some BEST SHOT scenes (Business cards and documents, White board, etc.) are selected. Select another scene (page 51).

Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action

B

165 Appendix

When shooting with Auto Shutter, the shutter does not trigger.

Auto Shutter may not trigger when shooting under very bright or very dark conditions, or when shooting a fast moving subject, etc. If this happens, try changing the Auto Shutter Trigger Sensitivity setting (page 68), or press the shutter button all the way down to release the shutter and shoot the image.

The image is out of focus during movie recording.

1)Focusing may not be possible because the subject is outside the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range.

2)The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 150).

Playback The color of the playback image is different from what appears on the monitor screen when shooting.

Sunlight or light from another source may be shining directly into the lens when you are shooting. Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens.

3 Using the Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects

Using the Dynamic Photo Extracted Sample Subjects

Your digital camera comes with a number of extracted sample subjects in its built-in memory. You can use these sample subjects to practice creating Dynamic Photo images by inserting them into your original snapshots.

1. Remove the memory card from the camera (if one is loaded). You will not be able to access the extracted sample subjects in built-in camera memory while a memory card is loaded in the camera.

2. In the REC mode, compose the image and press the shutter button to shoot a standard snapshot. You will insert the extracted sample subject into the snapshot you shoot here.

1. Press [p] to enter the PLAY mode.

2. Perform the following operation on the camera [MENU] * PLAY tab * Dynamic Photo.

3. Use [4] and [6] to select the snapshot you shot in Step 1 above, and then press [SET].

4. Use [4] and [6] to select the extracted sample subject in built-in camera memory that you want to insert into the snapshot and then press [SET].

5. Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of the subject and use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to adjust its position. When everything is the way you want, press [SET]. This inserts the extracted sample subject into the snapshot and creates a Dynamic Photo image.

Step 1: Shoot the snapshot into which you want to insert an extracted sample subject.

6. After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is complete, the finished image with the inserted moving subject will appear on the monitor screen. After you master the above procedure using extracted sample subjects, you will be ready to create your own extracted subjects and insert them into snapshots for totally original Dynamic Photo images.

You will not be able to access the extracted sample subjects in built-in camera memory while a memory card is loaded in the camera. If you want to use the extracted sample subjects while a memory card is loaded in the camera, use the Built-in * Card copy operation to copy the extracted sample subjects from built-in camera memory to the memory card.

Performing a delete or format operation will delete the extracted sample subjects in built-in camera memory. After deleting the extracted sample subjects, you can download them from the Dynamic Photo website (http://dp.exilim.com/) and restore them to built-in camera memory.

Note that the extracted sample subjects include some subjects that cannot be created using the Dynamic Photo feature of this camera.

5 Creating a Dynamic Photo Image

Creating a Dynamic Photo Image

Dynamic Photo images are created by extracting the subject out of one image, and inserting it into another image. The term subject as used here refers to what you extract or crop out of the first image. Perform the following steps to shoot and extract the subject.

1. Turn on the camera and press the [BS] button.

2. Select Dynamic Photo. On the BEST SHOT scene menu screen, select Dynamic Photo, which is the third scene. Use [4] and [6] to move the red frame

to and then press the [SET] button.

Step 1: Shoot the subject.

To extract the subject, you shoot once with the subject against a background. Then you shoot the same background again, this time without the subject.

1With the subject 2 The same angle against the same background, without the subject. Do not allow the camera to move.

The camera will extract the subject automatically.

(Shoot twice.)

3. First, shoot the subject. Best results can be obtained with the camera secured on a tripod. With the camera pointed at the moving subject, press the shutter button to record. If you selected Moving Subject, the camera will record a series of Continuous Shutter (CS) images over a few seconds. To help ensure good cropping results... *See Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping.

You can select the subject type and configure other settings here by pressing the [SET] button. *See Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed

for more information. Flash is turned off (?) automatically when shooting

with Dynamic Photo.

4. Next, shoot the same background again, but this time without the subject. After shooting the first image with the subject, have the subject exit the frame. Keep the camera still so you can maintain the same background composition as the first image (with the subject). When everything is ready, press the shutter button. Only one shot (not CS images) of the background is recorded at this time.

As shown in the image to the right, there is no need to carefully compose the two images when shooting against a flat wall that has no visible marks at all.

First, lets just have the subject wave or perform some other simple movement as we shoot.

7 Creating a Dynamic Photo Image

The camera compares the images you shot in steps 3 and 4 and extracts the subject. The extracted subject image will appear on the monitor screen. If you selected Moving Subject, the 20 subject images that were recorded will scroll on the screen, creating the illusion of movement. The background you shoot is not saved. Only the 20 cropped subject images are

saved. You can interrupt an ongoing image extraction process at any time by pressing

[MENU] or [BS].

Use the following procedure to insert the subject you extracted in Step 1 above into a photograph (new background image) and create the final Dynamic Photo image.

1. Press [p] to enter the PLAY mode.

2. Perform the following operation on the camera [MENU] * PLAY tab * Dynamic Photo.

3. Use [4] and [6] to select the background image you want and then press [SET]. Select the image you want to use as the background. You should record the background image you want to use before starting this procedure. * Only images that are able to be used as background images

will appear at this time. Only an image that satisfies the following conditions can be used as a

background image. An image recorded with this camera or an image transferred to this cameras

memory using Photo Transport An image with an aspect ratio of 4:3

Step 2: Create the Dynamic Photo image.

4. Use [4] and [6] to select the subject you want to insert and then press [SET]. * Only subjects that can be inserted into other images will

appear at this time.

5. Use the zoom controller to adjust the size of the subject and use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to adjust its position. When everything is the way you want, press [SET]. This inserts the subject into the background image and creates a Dynamic Photo.

6. After creation of the Dynamic Photo image is complete, the finished image with the moving subject will appear on the monitor screen.

The size of a Dynamic Photo image created by inserting a moving subject into a background image is 2M. If the background image into which a moving subject is inserted is smaller than 2M, the resulting image will be the same size as the background image.

The size of a Dynamic Photo image created by inserting a stationary subject into a background image is 6M. If the background image into which a stationary subject is inserted is smaller than 6M, the resulting image will be the same size as the background image.

Four Tips for Good Subject Cropping

When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface whose color is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to crop the subject image properly if its color is the same as or similar to the background color.

Select a blank wall for the subject background, not one with a complex pattern or shapes. Find a blank wall whose

color is different from that of the subject.

Look for a flat wall that has no markings.

Find some reference points and use a tripod.

Best cropping results are obtained when the background is a wall that is completely free of visible markings like the one shown above. In this case, it is not necessary to take pains to position the camera correctly when shooting the second (background only) image required by Dynamic Photo. When shooting against a blank wall, you can move the camera around as much as you like while shooting CS images of a moving subject.

When there are reference points in the image as shown above, you need to compose the second (background only) image precisely according to the reference points. In this case, you will need to keep the camera as still as possible when shooting the first image (subject and background) and the second image (background only). Use a tripod whenever possible, and make sure that image is composed exactly the same for both the first image and the second image.

10 Creating a Dynamic Photo Image

Move the subject away from the wall to avoid shadows! The camera may mistake shadows on the wall or floor caused by strong sunlight, illumination, or other light sources as part of the subject. Shadows tend to form when the subject is too close to a wall. Have the subject move as far away as possible from the wall.

Do not use a moving background! Good cropping is not possible if anything besides the subject is moving in the images. For example, avoid breaking waves, trees blowing in the wind, etc.

Pressing [SET] during step 1 of 3. First, shoot the subject. will display a screen for specifying the subject type and CS speed. You can select from among the four subject types listed below. You also can specify a stationary subject (one frame only) in addition to a moving subject.

Specifying the Subject Type and CS Speed

CS speed Number of images Subject type

Moving Subject 1sec (20fps)

20 frames per second 20 images Creates a moving subject from the

CS images. The subject is cropped out of

each of the CS images. Moving Subject 1sec (20fps)

provides smooth subject movement, but recording time is limited to one second.

Moving Subject 4sec (5fps) provides more recording time, but subject movement is slightly rough.

Moving Subject 2sec (10fps)

10 frames per second 20 images

Moving Subject 4sec (5fps)

5 frames per second 20 images

Still Subject 1 image Records a single subject, which is cropped and inserted into the background image.
