INTRODUCTION

Precautions

■ General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the EX-S600.

All references in this manual to “camera” refer to the CASIO EX-S600 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.

• 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.

• 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.

INTRODUCTION

• 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.

• 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.

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, or setting the

camera onto the USB cradle while the camera is performing a record or memory access operation

— Removing the battery, removing the memory card, or

placing the camera onto the USB cradle while the operation lamp is still flashing green after you turn off the camera

— Disconnecting the USB cable, removing the camera

from the USB cradle, or disconnecting the AC adaptor from the USB cradle 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 237). 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.

■ Power Supply

• Use only the special NP-20 rechargeable lithium ion battery to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.

• This camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared whenever power is totally cut off (from both the battery and USB cradle). Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted (page 160).

INTRODUCTION

■ Lens

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

• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

■ Caring for your camera

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

• Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

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

■ Other

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