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.

• When disconnecting the USB-AC adaptor from the camera, be sure to disconnect from the camera first.
19
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.

• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s battery (NP-130A) 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
180).
• See page 216 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• Entering the “ECO Mode” enables low-power operation (page 173).
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting (page 49).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 177, 177).
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 111).

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 181). 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.

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.
24
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 211.

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 April 2014.
• 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.
. 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.
25
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 25) 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.
26
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.
1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].
2. Press [4], use [8] and [2] to select the “
press [6].
¥
SETTING” tab, and then

Quick Start Basics

Holding the Camera Correctly

Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the shutter button. When pressing the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera as shown in the illustration, and keep it still by pressing your arms firmly against your sides as you shoot. Holding the camera still, carefully press the shutter button and take care to avoid all movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.
NOTE
• Take care that your fingers and the strap do not cover any of the areas indicated in the illustration.
• To protect against accidentally dropping the camera, attach the wrist strap and make sure it is around your fingers or wrist while you are operating the camera.
• Never swing the camera around by its strap.
• The supplied strap is intended for use with this camera only. Never use it for any other purpose.
• Shooting an image while the camera’s “Auto Rotate” setting is “On” will cause the playback image to be rotated automatically to the orientation the camera was in when the image was recorded (page 176).
