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.
Time Lapse Movie
You can use this function to record movies of natural
events that occur over time, to speed up the flow of
traffic in a city scene, or to record other similar types of
movies.
*See page 69 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, Sparkling Shot.
*See page 58 for more information.
HS 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.
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 61 for more information.

Quick Start Basics
Blurred Background
This function analyzes a burst of consecutive images
and then blurs the background behind the main
subject. This creates an effect that really makes the
subject stand out, just like photographs taken with a
single-lens reflex camera.
*See page 80 for more information.
All-In-Focus Macro
All-In-Focus Macro shoots and analyzes a burst of
multiple images and combines them in a way that
produces an image in which everything is in focus:
from nearby objects to distant objects.
*See page 81 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.
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 65 for more information.

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.
• 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.

Other Charging Precautions
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s
battery (NP-130A or 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.
• 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.

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
165).
• 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 158).
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting
(page 47).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 162, 162).
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 105).
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 166). 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.

Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.
22
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 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 June 2013.
• 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
install file from the card to your computer.
• 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].
