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.

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 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. Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.

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 126.

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 November 2012. 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.

This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards and FlashAir cards.

. 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 126. For information about movie image size, see page 34. For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 74.

36 Snapshot Tutorial

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 129) 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. 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.

NOTE Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become

slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction. The camera also records audio. Note the following points when

shooting a movie. Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers,

etc. Good recording results are not possible when the camera is

too far away from what you are trying to record. Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button

noise to be picked up in the audio. Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the

monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction. 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 and Y will flash on the monitor screen.

Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing [0] (Movie) to start recording.

The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended under these conditions.

Focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress.

48 Using BEST SHOT

. BEST SHOT Precautions Some BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie. For YouTube scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot. 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.

The BEST SHOT YouTube scene sets up the camera for recording movies that are optimized for uploading to YouTube. Movies recorded with the YouTube scene are stored in a special folder to make them easy to locate for uploading (page 95).

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 95).

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.

49 Using BEST SHOT

A variety of artistic effects help to make even common, ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting.

1. Select the BEST SHOT scene you want to use and then press [SET].

2. Press the shutter button to shoot. After you press the shutter button, the message Busy... Please wait... will appear on the monitor screen to indicate that recording is in progress. Keep the camera still while this message is displayed. The recording process takes some time to complete after the message appears. Image shooting is disabled while the message is displayed.

50 Using BEST SHOT

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. On the BEST SHOT scene menu, 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. After the camera detects the specified number of faces, focuses, and adjusts the exposure to the proper level, it will beep twice and then release the shutter automatically. 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].

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 102) trigger time is fixed at five minutes while the camera is in Auto Shutter standby. Sleep (page 101) is disabled while Auto Shutter is being used.

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.

NOTE An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and

automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly. Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only. The focus mode cannot be changed while the Miniature or Fisheye BEST SHOT

scene is selected. 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. 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 - 9 * oo is the actual focusing range value.

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.

82 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 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.

Configuring camera settings

Configure DPOF settings (page 80). 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 100). 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.

96 Using the Camera with a Computer

. 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 is 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 95 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

. If the cameras back lamp starts flashing red... Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery may be either too high or

too low. Disconnect the USB cable and wait until temperature is within the allowable charging range before trying again.

Battery contacts may be dirty. Wipe them with a dry cloth. Try connecting to a different computer USB port. Depending on the setup of your

computer, you may not be able to charge the cameras battery over a USB connection.

. 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 10C to 35C (50F 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.

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

116 Appendix

. 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-80) is recommended while on a trip

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

See page 19 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 104). 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.).

117 Appendix

. 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 and Y will flash on the monitor screen.

The tables in this section show the initial default settings on menus that appear in the REC mode and PLAY mode when you reset the camera (page 104). A dash () indicates an item whose setting is not reset or an item for which there is

no reset setting.

IMPORTANT!

Depending on the recording mode, some of the items on the menu that appears may not be usable.

When things dont go right...

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action Power Supply

Power does not turn on.

1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 13). 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-80 rechargeable lithium ion battery.

The camera suddenly powers down.

1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 102). 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 30). Use manual focus (page 53).

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.

120 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 35).

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 35) or select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 46).

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

The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO authorized 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 54).

2)You may be using (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 53).

3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus when shooting a close- up shot. Use the (Macro) for close ups (page 53).

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 35) 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

121 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 17).

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 35), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 62).

Night shots come out bad.

Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 46) 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 35), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 62).

Digital zoom (including HD zoom) does not work. The zoom bar indicates zoom only up to a zoom factor of 6.0.

1)Time stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital zoom to be disabled. Turn off time stamping (page 100).

2)The ART SHOT scene may be selected, which will automatically disable digital zoom.

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 113).

Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action
