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.

sensitivity of the monitor screen.

17

Quick Start Basics

First, charge the battery prior to use.

The camera and the controller each have a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The batteries are not charged when you purchase the camera, so you will need to
charge both the camera and controller before using them.
You can use either of the two following methods to charge the batteries.

• USB-AC adaptor

• USB connection to a computer

. To charge with the USB-AC adaptor

While the camera and controller are turned off, connect in the sequence shown
below.
Charging time: Approximately XXX minutes

[USB] port

Micro USB cable
(included with camera)

[USB] cover

When plugging in the connectors, orient this marking as described below.

Quick Start Basics

IMPORTANT!

• A battery that has not been used for a long time, or ambient temperature extremes
can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging takes longer than about
five hours, a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully
charged. This is indicated by the operation lamp flashing red. If the battery has not
been used for a very long time, charging of the controller may stop after about
60 minutes or charging of the camera may stop after about 40 minutes. In both
cases, the operation lamp will flash red. In either case, disconnect the USB cable
from the camera or controller and then reconnect it to resume charging.

• Turning on the camera or controller while it is being charged with the USB-AC
adapter results in one of the conditions described below.
Camera:
The camera will start up, using power from the USB-AC adaptor as its power
supply. Charging of the camera will stop, but will resume if the camera enters the
sleep mode.
Controller:
Charging continues and the controller turns on.

• The USB-AC adaptor will become warm during charging. This is normal and does
not indicate malfunction.

• The shape of the power plug depends on each country or geographic area.

Quick Start Basics

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 106.

Supported Memory Cards

– microSD Memory Card
– microSDHC Memory Card
– microSDXC Memory Card

• The above are supported memory card types as of June 2014.

• This camera supports use of microSD memory cards of the
following types and capacities: microSD memory cards up to 2GB, microSDHC
memory cards from 2GB up to 32GB, microSDXC 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.

Warning!

*

0 Memory cards are small and present a risk of accidentally being swallowed

by infants and young children. Keep memory cards out of the reach of
infants and young children. If a memory card is ever swallowed accidentally,
contact a physician immediately.

29

Quick Start Basics

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.

1. Load a memory card (page 29).

2. Turn on the camera and controller (page 24).

3. Touch the “ ” (Home) icon.

4. Touch “MENU”.

31

Quick Start Basics

. Shooting with the Camera Alone

You can use the camera in a stand-alone configuration without turning on the
controller or otherwise establishing a connection between it and the camera.

• If an Interval Snapshot (page 34) operation is in progress, it will continue to shoot
images even when controller power is turned off.

. Shooting with Premium Auto

• In addition to shutter speed and ISO sensitivity, the camera automatically executes
the following operation as required when shooting with Premium Auto.
– Auto Focus is normally performed.
– The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses

there.

– When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to 12

individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.

Snapshot Shooting Precautions

Operation

• If unwanted light is shining onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand or attach
the lens hood (page 14) 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 in accordance with the currently selected recording mode
(page 37).

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting

• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an
image.

Other Precautions

• The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noticeable noise will
be generated in an image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a
noise reduction at slow shutter speeds. The noise reduction process causes it to
take longer to record images at lower shutter speeds. The shutter speeds for which
noise reduction is performed depend on the camera setup and shooting conditions.

• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast
moving objects in an image may appear distorted.

40

Recording Images

IMPORTANT!

• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• The camera also records audio along with movies. Note the
following points when shooting a movie.

Microphone

– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your

fingers, etc.

– Good audio recording results are not possible when the

camera is too far away from what you are trying to
record.

• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where
temperature is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the
movie image. A rise in the camera’s internal temperature also may force movie
recording to stop automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the
camera to cool down, which should cause normal operation to resume.

• Using the camera’s 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. An operation that requires time to
record data can result in breaks in the image and/or audio.

will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter
remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.

IMPORTANT!

• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.

NOTE

• You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially
available card reader to access image files directly from the camera’s memory
card. For details, see the user documentation that comes with your computer.

displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the
image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.

. Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions

• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders it to
change their names to dates or something similar after you copy them to your
computer. If you later decided to return a DCIM folder to the camera, however, be
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the
folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.

• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”
shown on page 77 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

Power Supply

Charging

. If the camera or controller operation lamp starts flashing red...

If the camera or controller operation lamp starts flashing red during charging, it
means that further charging is not possible for one of the reasons below. Perform the
actions described below to correct the problem and then try charging again.

Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery is abnormally high
or low

Unplug the USB cable from the camera and wait for a while until the camera is within
the temperature range of 15°C to 35°C (59°F to 95°F), and then try charging again.

Safety timer activated

A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging
takes longer than about five hours, a safety timer will terminate it automatically, even
if the battery is not fully charged. If the battery has not been used for a very long time,
charging may terminate automatically after only about 60 minutes.

1) Using a battery that has not been used for a long time.
Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to resume charging.

2) Insufficient power supply when connected to computer
The camera can be charged only via a USB 2.0 standard USB port. Connect
directly to a USB port what supplies a current of 500mA.

For details about the power supply capacity of a computer’s USB port, contact the
manufacturer of the computer. Though disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB
cable will resume charging, you may need to do so repeatedly if the power supply
capacity of the computer is low.

If problems persist after you perform the above steps or if the battery fails to
charge after 5 hours, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest
CASIO authorized service center.

Appendix

Battery Precautions

. 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 15°C to
35°C (59°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than
normal or even fail.

. 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.

• 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.

Using the Camera in another Country

. Precautions during Use

• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the
power plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera
and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power
supply requirements in your destination(s).

• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

Appendix

Using a Memory Card

See page 28 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a
memory card.

. Using a Memory Card

• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can
restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 65). However, it is recommended
that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far
away from the home or office.

• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory
card is recommended.

• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).

. Memory Card Handling Precautions

Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever possible
use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all operations
can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain
movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to record data,
which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens,
the movie icon will turn yellow on the monitor screen.
