LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

Take test shots

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

Quick Start Basics

What you can do with your CASIO camera

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

ART SHOT

A variety of artistic effects help to make even common, ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting. “ART SHOT” provides the following effects: HDR Art, Toy Camera, Soft Focus, Light Tone, Pop, Sepia, Monochrome, Miniature, Fisheye.

*See page 61 for more information.

High Speed Night Shot

The camera shoots a series of images and then merges them into a final image. The result is a bright image, even if shot in the dark without a flash.

*See page 78 for more information.

Premium Auto PRO

Select Premium Auto PRO recording and the camera automatically determines whether you are shooting a subject or scenery, and other conditions. Premium Auto PRO delivers higher image quality than standard Auto.

*See page 28 for more information.

Triple Shot

Pressing the shutter button shoots a burst of three images and stores them in memory. This feature is great for making sure you don’t miss those special moments when kids are around.

*See page 64 for more information.

14	Quick Start Basics

Blurred Background/All-In-Focus Macro (Focus Control)

Focus Control shoots and analyzes a burst of multiple images and combines them in a way that produces either image in which the background is blurred or everything is in focus: from nearby objects to distant objects.

*See page 59 for more information.

Wide Shot

With this feature, a number of images are shot and then combined to produce an image with a super-wide angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view possible with the lens. Converted to 35 mm equivalents, the focal distances available with this feature enable shooting with approximate angles of view of 14 mm and 18 mm.

*See page 79 for more information.

High Speed Movie

Movies can be recorded at up to 1000 frames per second. This makes it possible to clearly view phenomena that are invisible to the human eye, in slow motion.

*See page 68 for more information.

FHD Movie Recording

You can record movies in high-quality FHD. (1920x1080 pixels 30 fps)

*See page 68 for more information.

Other Charging Precautions

•With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s battery (NP-130) 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 camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, plug the USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from the TV or radio.

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

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

•Never use the power cord with another device.

20	Quick Start Basics

Checking Remaining Battery Power

As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates remaining power as shown below.

Remaining Power	High			Low
Battery Indicator	*		*	*
Indicator Color	White * White		* Red	* Red

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible. Recording is not possible when is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.

•The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the REC mode and PLAY mode.

•Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 162).

•See page 197 for information about battery life and number of shots.

Battery Power Conservation Tips

•Entering the “ECO Mode” enables low-power operation (page 155).

•When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting (page 48).

•Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 159, 159).

•Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 102).

21	Quick Start Basics

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the

Camera

The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.

IMPORTANT!

•A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the Display Language (Language)” (page 163). Note that a version of this manual in the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the Japanese market.

•Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language selection.

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

2.Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select the language you want and then press [SET].

[ON/OFF] (Power)

[	]
[	]	[ ]
[	]	[SET]

3.Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].

Example: July 10, 2015 YY/MM/DD * 15/7/10 DD/MM/YY * 10/7/15 MM/DD/YY * 7/10/15

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, select “24h” and then use [8] and [2] to change the setting.

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

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct the settings.

–Display language: page 163

–Date and time: page 162

22	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.

Preparing a Memory Card

Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.

• For information about memory card capacities, see page 191.

Supported Memory Cards

– 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 December 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.

. 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.

23	Quick Start Basics

To load a memory card

1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera and then open the battery cover.

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.

Front

Front Back

3. Close the battery cover.

IMPORTANT!

•Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 23) 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.

24	Quick Start Basics

To replace the memory card

Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert another one.

• Never remove a card from the camera while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.

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 card on a computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down processing time and cause compatibility, performance, and other problems.

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

•Formatting a FlashAir card with the camera will delete files on the card that are required for communication. For details about formatting, see the instructions that come with the FlashAir card.

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

2.Press [4], use [8] and [2] to select the “¥ SETTING” tab, and then press [6].

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

4.Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].

5.Use [8] and [2] to select “Yes” and then press [SET].
