Features

• 7.2 million effective pixels The CCD provides 7.41 million total pixels of very highresolution for crisp, clear, prints and display images.

• 2.0-inch TFT color LCD monitor screen

• Long battery life

A low-power design combines with a large-capacity battery to provide more recording and playback between charges.

• 16X zoom (page 68) 4X optical zoom, 4X digital zoom

• 8.9MB flash memory Images can be recorded without using a memory card.

• High-speed, high-precision Auto Focus A phase differential sensor combines with contrast Auto Focus for faster focusing.

• Three continuous shutter modes (page 100) In addition to normal continuous shutter operation that can continually record shots as long as memory is available, you can also use high-speed continuous shutter and stop-action continuous shutter, which records a series of shots in a single image.

• Four auto bracketing modes (page 105) Configurable variables can be set up to record multiple versions of an image altering the exposure, white balance, or focus distance setting. Non-configurable variables create multiple versions of the same image using various filters and other settings.

• Ex Finder view (page 32) The Ex Finder view provides you with a wealth of information on the monitor screen as you compose your images.

• Ex Menu (page 143) Ex Menu gives you short-cut menu access to four frequently-used settings.

• Multi Auto Focus (page 82) When “Multi” is selected for the Auto Focus area, the camera takes simultaneous meter readings at seven different points and automatically selects the best one. This avoids unintended auto focusing on the background, which can cause foreground subject to be out of focus.

• Movable Auto Focus (AF) Area (page 82) You can move the focus area to the location you want.

This means you can create images that include you and your friend, even if you are the only two people around.

• Triple Self-timer (page 75) The self-timer can be set up to repeat three times, automatically.

• Real-time RGB histogram (page 130) An on-screen histogram lets you adjust exposure as you view the effect on overall image brightness, which makes shooting under difficult lighting conditions easier than ever before.

• World Time (page 194) A simple operation sets the current time for your current location. You can select from among 162 cities in 32 time zones.

• Alarm (page 191) A built-in alarm helps to keep you on time for important events, and even can be used in place of an alarm clock. You can also have a specific image appear, or a movie or audio file to play when the alarm time is reached.

• Album Function (page 232) HTML files are generated automatically to create an album of recorded images. Album contents can be viewed and printed using a standard Web browser. Images can also be incorporated into Web pages quickly and easily.

• Calendar screen (page 166) A simple operation displays a full-month calendar on the camera’s monitor screen. Each day of the full-month calendar shows a thumbnail of the first image recorded for that date, which helps to make searching for a particular image quicker and easier.

INTRODUCTION

• Card remote controller (page 144)

• External flash connectability (page 149)

• Conversion lens/close-up lens support (page 153)

Use of a conversion lens enhances telephoto and wide angle shots, while the close-up lens enhances macro shots.

• DCF Data Storage (page 228) DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) data storage protocol provides image compatibility between the digital camera and printers.

• Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) (page 207) Images can be printed easily in the sequence you want using a DPOF compatible printer. DPOF can also be used when specifying images and quantities for printing by professional print services.

• PRINT Image Matching III Compatible (page 215) Images include PRINT Image Matching III data (mode setting and other camera setup information). A printer that supports PRINT Image Matching III reads this data and adjusts the printed image accordingly, so your images come out just the way you intended when you recorded them.

• USB DIRECT-PRINT and PictBridge support (page 210) Connect directly to a USB DIRECT-PRINT or PictBridge compatible printer and you can print images without going through a computer.

• Transfer images to a computer simply by connecting the camera with a USB cable (page 216).

• Connect the camera to a TV with the AV cable and use the TV screen for image recording and viewing (page

176).

Precautions

General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the EX-P700.

All references in this manual to “camera” refer to the CASIO EX-P700 Digital Camera.

• Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the risk of serious accident.

• Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized service center.

• Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.

• Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician immediately.

• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vision and create the risk of accident.

INTRODUCTION

• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true with young children. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the subject.

• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it get wet. Moisture creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.

• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking care you do not burn your fingers, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.

• Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor besides the one that comes with this camera.

• Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.

• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the risk of fire.

• If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center.

• Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other area where its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

• Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Always keep backup copies of data by transferring them to personal computer memory.

INTRODUCTION

• Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file memory.

Test for proper operation before using the camera!

• Before using the camera to record important images, make sure you first record a number of test images and check the results to ensure that the camera is configured correctly and operating properly (page 19).

INTRODUCTION

Data Error Precautions

• Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the following creates the risk of corruption of data in file memory.

— Removing the battery or memory card while the

camera is performing a record or memory access operation

— Removing the battery or memory card while the

operation lamp is still flashing after you turn off the camera

— Disconnecting the USB cable while a data

communication operation is being performed

— Low battery power — Other abnormal operations

Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor screen (page 260). Follow the instructions provided by the message to eliminate the cause of the error.

Operating conditions

• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.

— In areas subject to direct sunlight — In areas subject to high humidity or dust — Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject

to temperature extremes

— Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the

sun

— In areas subject to strong vibration

INTRODUCTION

Condensation

• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.

• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the new location. If condensation does form, remove the battery from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a few hours.

Lens and Phase Differential Sensor

• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens and phase differential sensor. Doing so can scratch the lens and phase differential sensor surface and cause malfunction.

• Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens and phase differential sensor can interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens and phase differential sensor with your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens and phase differential sensor surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens and phase differential sensor with a soft lens cloth.

• When aiming the camera, make sure that your finger does not block the phase differential sensor.

Other

• The camera may become slightly warm during use. This does not indicate malfunction.

• If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
