Warning!

••

• Make sure you are in a safe place before operating the watch.

••

Do not try to record images, perform complex watch operations, or look at the display of the watch while operating an automobile, motorcycle, or any other vehicle. Doing so creates the risk of serious traffic accident. When you use the watch while walking, always keep aware of other people, vehicular traffic, and surface conditions around you in order to prevent accidents.

••

• Do not use the watch inside of an aircraft.

••

Never use the watch inside of an aircraft or in any other area where the use of such devices is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

••

• Always back up important data.

••

Rough handling of or damage to the watch can accidentally delete image data in watch memory. Because of this, you should always keep back up copies of your images on computer disk.

• The sizes and positions of the characters shown on the sample displays in this manual may differ slightly from those that actually appear on the display of your watch.

• When performing operations with this watch, you must first enter the correct mode (Camera Mode, Timekeeping Mode, etc.) See “GENERAL GUIDE” for information about maneuvering between modes.

To adjust the display contrast

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A

for about one second.

2. Press C twice to display the contrast

adjustment screen.

• The contrast setting shows a value that indicates the current contrast level. A setting of Level 3, for example, is indicated as CNT3.

3. Use B (darker) and E (lighter) to adjust

the contrast to any one of the nine available levels.

4. Press A to exit the setting screen.

Note

The contrast setting described above does not affect the display of images. Image contrast can be adjusted using a separate procedure, which is described in “To adjust image brightness”.

Auto Power Save

The watch automatically turns off its display screen if it is not moved for about 60 minutes. This not only conserves battery power, it also protects against “burn in” of display images.

To turn the display back on, press F. This displays the wake up screen image for about two seconds, and then displays the Timekeeping Mode screen.

About the wake up screen

The wake up screen appears for about two seconds when you recover from the auto power save. You can use the procedure under “To specify the wake up screen image” to specify an image you recorded as the wake up screen image.

• “CASIO” flashes on the wake up screen if you do not have any wake up screen image specified or if the image you specified has been deleted.

CAMERA MODE

Use the Camera Mode to record images.

• The lens for image recording is located on the top edge of the watch.

Note

• Wrist Camera memory can store up to approximately 80 images. The actual number of images you can store depends on recording conditions. If you record many brightly lit or colorful images, for example, the total number of images you can store may be less than 80.

• The above is also true for the remaining memory capacity value. This value is an approximate number for reference purposes only. Depending on recording conditions, you may be able to store fewer images than that indicated on the display.

To record an image

1. Press F to enter the Camera Mode.

• Note that you cannot enter the Camera Mode from the VISUAL DATABANK Mode and the IR Mode.

• The Camera Mode screen first shows remaining memory capacity for about one second, followed by the image being picked up by the lens.

2. While viewing the image on the display, point the lens of the watch at the subject whose image you want to record.

3. Press F to release the shutter and record the image.

• This records the image currently on the display and stores it into

memory. The image remains on the display for about three or four seconds as the record operation is being performed.

• Pressing D while in the Camera Mode enters the VISUAL DATABANK

Note

• All watch button operations are disabled while the record operation is in progress.

••

• The watch stays in the Camera Mode for about one minute after you

••

enter it. Then it automatically enters the VISUAL DATABANK Mode and displays the last image recorded. See “Camera Rest Interval” for more information.

• The message REC FULL appears on the display to indicate that memory is full. You will not be able to record an image while this message is displayed. If this happens, delete images you no longer need to make room for more images.

Camera Mode Precautions

General

• Never touch the surface of the lens. Fingerprints or dirt on the lens can cause poor performance of the camera function. To clean the lens surface, use a camera lens blower to blow off any dirt or dust particles, and then wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

• Take care that you do not accidentally move the watch when you press F to release the shutter.

• Insufficient lighting can result in poor images. Shoot in daylight whenever possible. At night, shoot indoors in a well-lit area.

Camera Rest Interval

Camera Mode operations consume considerable battery power. To protect against premature rundown of its battery, the watch automatically goes into a rest interval, during which you will be unable to re-enter the Camera Mode after you exit it. The length of the rest interval is equal to the amount of time you spent in the Camera Mode before you exited it. This means that if you exit the Camera Mode after being in it for 20 seconds, you will be unable to re-enter the Camera Mode for about 20 seconds.

WAIT 38

If you try to enter the Camera Mode during a rest interval, the message WAIT appears on the display, along with a countdown of the remaining rest interval time.

• The maximum rest interval is 60 seconds.

Displayed Image Size and Memory Image Size

Though the size of images displayed by this watch is 120 × 120 dots, the size of the image stored in memory is 176 × 144 dots. This means that after you transfer images to your computer or another device, you can display them 176 × 144 dots.

Alarm, Hourly Time Signal, Countdown Timer Sounds

The watch does not emit any alarm, Hourly Time Signal, or Countdown Timer sound while it is in the Camera Mode.

Controlling the Camera Mode Image

You can use the following procedures to adjust the brightness, to specify the type of lighting present when recording an image, and to configure the camera timer.

Adjusting Image Brightness

The watch automatically sets the brightness of the image when you record it. You can also change the brightness level manually when you want to compensate for backlighting of the subject, very dark backgrounds, etc.

Brightness indicator

Important!

Even with manual brightness adjustment, you may not be able to obtain an acceptable image when recording images under very bright or very dark lighting conditions.

Specifying the Lighting Type

The type of lighting present when recording, greatly affects the resulting image. You can use the procedure below to set up the watch for shooting indoors or outdoors, which helps to ensure proper brightness for recorded images.

To specify the lighting type

Before recording the image in the Camera Mode, press C. Each press of C cycles through available lighting type settings in the sequence shown below.

M3‰ OUT

Lighting type

• You can select OUT for outdoor lighting, IN for indoor lighting, or DUSK for shooting at twilight or under other conditions where lighting is dim.

• The lighting type setting you make remains in effect until you change it or exit the Camera Mode. OUT is the initial default whenever you enter the Camera Mode.

• The change from IN to DUSK in the above cycle takes a bit longer than changes between other lighting settings.

Using the Camera Timer to Record Images

You can select either two seconds or 10 seconds as the camera timer start time.
