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.

Changing the Screen Orientation
Normally, the camera automatically detects its current orientation and changes the
icon and recorded image orientation accordingly. Note, however that the camera may
not be able to detect its orientation correctly if it is pointed straight downwards. In this
case, you can temporarily change the icon and recorded image orientation. This
setting will remain in effect until you change it or until you turn off the camera.
1. Enter the REC mode.
2. Touch the screen orientation icon.
• If the icon is not displayed on the screen, touch
the tab to display it.
3. Touch the icon of the orientation you want to
use.
This will cause both the icons and the recorded
image to change in accordance with your selection.

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.
A variety of shooting styles
The frame can be opened and the LCD monitor
screen rotated into positions that make long-term
shooting more comfortable and simplify selfshooting.
See page 14 for more information.
Simple touch panel operation
The monitor screen is a touch panel that can be
used to perform operations.
See page 17 for more information.
Simple self-shooting
The monitor screen can be rotated so it faces in the
same direction as the camera’s lens, making selfshooting much easier.
See page 43 for more information.
12
Quick Start Basics
Make-Up
Make-up smoothes the skin texture of the subject
and softens facial shadows caused by harsh
sunlight for better looking portraits.
See page 39 for more information.
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 37 for more information.
Extract a subject from
one photo and insert it
into another
A simple operation lets you extract a person or object out of one snapshot and
insert into another snapshot.
See pages 74, 75 for more information.
13
Quick Start Basics
Changing the Camera Style to Suit Shooting Conditions
You can change the configuration of the camera by opening or closing the frame and
rotating the monitor screen panel to suit shooting conditions.
IMPORTANT!
• Do not apply strong pressure to the surface of the monitor screen. Doing so can
damage it.
• Never touch the lens with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and other foreign
matter on the lens can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Use a blower
or other means to keep the lens and flash window free of dirt and dust, and wipe
gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Opening and Closing the Frame
The frame of the camera can be rotated 360 degrees.
1. With the monitor screen facing towards
you, hold onto the frame.
2. Push the monitor screen panel from
behind.
3. Holding the edges of the monitor
screen panel, swing the frame open.
IMPORTANT!
• Do not try to open or close the frame while the monitor screen panel is rotated.
Doing so can cause the frame to come into contact with the monitor screen panel
and cause malfunction.

Other Charging Precautions
• 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 due to normal use may not charge fully. Leave the
camera turned off and wait for a while to give the battery time to cool before
charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly. Because of this, it is recommended that you charge
the battery immediately before you need to use it.
• Charging the 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 the current battery level and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
Checking the Current Battery Level
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates its
current level as shown below.
Level High Low
Battery Indicator ***
Indicator Color Cyan * Yellow * 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
97).
• See page 127 for information about battery life and number of shots.

NOTE
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they
are subject to change.
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 123.
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 October 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.

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. Load a memory card (page 26).
2. Turn on the camera and then touch “MENU”.
• If “MENU” is not displayed on the screen, touch the tab to display it (page 35).
3. Drag upwards and downwards until you find “Setup”, and then touch it.
4. Touch “Format”.
