Attaching and Removing the Lens Cap
The lens cap opens and closes
automatically in accordance with the
lens position, so you can leave it in
place, if you want. Make sure the lens
cap is attached to the lens so the dot
mark on the cap is upwards, with the
large blades of the cap on the left and
right. If the cap is in the wrong position,
its blades can cause partial darkening
of images when shooting with flash.
Attach the lens cap with the large blades
on the left and right.
Attaching the Neck Strap to the Camera
• Attach either end of the strap to the two strap
rings on the sides of the camera as shown in the
illustration.
• After you are finished pull on the strap to test it
and to make sure it does not come loose.

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.

IMPORTANT!
• Under factory default settings, the camera will turn on automatically whenever the
monitor screen is tilted. See page 192 for information about configuring the camera
so it does not turn on when the monitor screen is tilted upwards.
• When returning the monitor screen to the back of the camera, take care so you do
not catch your fingers between the top or bottom of the monitor screen and the
camera.
• Do not subject the monitor screen to strong impact. Doing so can damage it.
NOTE
• Be sure to return the monitor screen to its normal position to the back of the
camera when you are not using it.
• Whenever placing the camera on a tabletop or other surface to shoot, be sure to
pull out the stand to keep it from falling over (page 22).
20
Quick Start Basics
. Returning the Monitor Screen to Its Normal Position
1. Hold the bottom of the
monitor screen and
rotate it, or press the top
of the monitor screen to
return it to its normal
position.
2. Slide the monitor screen up as far as it will go.
. What you can do with the camera...

images from various low angles.
Using the Stand
Your camera has a built-in stand. You can pull out
the stand and keep the camera stable on a tabletop
or other surface while the monitor screen is tilted
upwards 180 degrees. When using the camera on a
tabletop or other surface for landscape (horizontal)
orientation shots, you can adjust the vertical angle of
the camera somewhat by changing how far you pull
out the stand.
IMPORTANT!
• When using the camera on a tabletop or other
surface for portrait (vertical) orientation shots, pull
the stand out as much as possible so the camera
is stable. Pulling the stand out part way in this
case can cause the camera to become unstable
and fall over.
• Even when using the stand to adjust the vertical
angle of the camera while shooting with landscape (horizontal) orientation, take
care to extend the stand far enough to avoid camera instability, which can cause it
to fall over.
• Whenever using the stand, make sure that the location where you place the
camera is stable and relatively level.

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 back lamp flashing red. If the battery has not been
used for a very long time, charging may be terminated automatically and the back
lamp may start flashing red after only about 60 minutes. In either case, disconnect
the USB cable from the camera and then reconnect it to resume charging.
• Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the [USB] port until you feel it
click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor
communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as
shown in the illustration.
• Pressing [ON/OFF] (Power) while the USB-AC adaptor is
connected to the camera will turn on the camera with
power being supplied by the battery. Because of this,
charging will stop.
• 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.

• If the camera is on, press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn it off before connecting it to
your computer.
IMPORTANT!
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then
reconnect the USB cable.
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take more than approximately five
hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging automatically, even if the
battery is not fully charged. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the
USB cable to restart charging. To complete charging faster, use of the included
USB-AC adaptor is recommended.
• If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate
automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red or go out after only about
60 minutes. In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that comes with the camera
is recommended.
• If you turn on the camera while charging over a USB connection to a computer is in
progress, the camera will establish a USB connection with the computer. Though
charging normally should continue at this time, certain types of computers or
connection environments may stop charging if supply power is low. This will be
indicated by the camera’s back lamp lighting green.
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.

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.
• Use only the USB-AC adaptor and USB cable specified in this manual for charging.
Use of any other type of devices may result in improper charging.

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
194).
• See page 230 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• Entering the “ECO Mode” enables low-power operation (page 187).

. 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.
