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 a few 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.
Simple self-shooting
Shoot self-portraits as you compose using the camera’s front
mirror.
*See page 14 for more information.
Premium Auto
Select Premium Auto recording and the camera automatically
determines whether you are shooting a subject or scenery,
and other conditions. Premium Auto delivers higher image
quality than standard Auto.
*See page 27 for more information.
Make-up Function
The Make-up Function smoothes the skin texture of the
subject and softens facial shadows caused by harsh sunlight
for better looking portraits.
*See page 43 for more information.
ART SHOT
A variety of artistic effects help to make even common,
ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting.
*See page 36 for more information.
Silent
The Silent mode disables LED light operation, mutes camera
operation tones, and changes other settings to help ensure
that shooting does not bother others around you.
*See pages 42, 64 for more information.
BEST SHOT
Simply select the sample scene you want and the camera
sets up automatically. Then all you need to do is press the
shutter button for perfect images.
*See page 38 for more information.

Quick Start Basics
Using the Mirror to Shoot a Self-portrait
The front of the camera is a mirror, which make it easy to compose images even
when shooting a self-portrait. When shooting, hold the camera so the LED light is at
the top.

. Precautions when shooting a self-portrait
• Depending on the shooting distance, the range of the
image being reflected by the mirror may be different from
the range of the image that will actually be shot by the
camera. It is recommended that you check images by
displaying them on the monitor screen after shooting
them.
lens
. Mirror Precautions
• The lens is approximately in the center of the mirror. Dirt in the area of the lens can
cause unwanted marks in recorded images.
• Do not scratch, press, or strike the mirror with strong force. Doing so can scratch or
soil the mirror.
• Damage or soiling in the center of the mirror (lens area) can interfere with proper
operation of the camera.
• Affixing protective film to the center (lens area) of the mirror can affect image
quality and interfere with proper operation of the camera.
• When shooting in a sunny area, the mirror will reflect sunlight. This creates the risk
of eye problems. Take care to avoid allowing sunlight to shine onto the mirror.

Quick Start Basics
NOTE
• The mirror has a curved surface, so there may be some distortion in the reflected

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 93). 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.

above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct
the settings.
– Display language: Page 93
– Date and time: Page 92
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 121.
Supported Memory Cards
– microSD Memory Card
– microSDHC Memory Card
– microSDXC Memory Card
• The above are supported memory card types as of August
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.
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory 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 breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If
this happens, » and Y flash on the monitor screen.

Quick Start Basics
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.
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.
1. Press [p] (Power) to turn on the camera and then press [MENU].
2. Use [4] and [6] to select the “Set Up” tab.
