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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Quick Start Basics

Rotating the Monitor Screen

Use the steps below to rotate the monitor screen.

NOTE

• While holding the monitor screen panel as shown in the illustration, you can rotate it 180 degrees clockwise and 90 degrees counterclockwise.

• The monitor screen panel can also be rotated when the frame is closed.

1. Hold the camera as shown in the

Tabletop Shooting / Self-shooting Suspended Shooting

Point the monitor screen and lens in the same direction and open the frame about 30 degrees so the camera can stand up.

NOTE

• When shooting hold 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.

• 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.

Quick Start Basics

Snapshot Shooting Precautions

Operation

• If unwanted light is shining onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand when shooting an image.

Monitor Screen when Shooting Snapshots

• Subject brightness conditions can cause monitor screen response to slow and can cause digital noise in the monitor screen image.

• The image that appears on the monitor screen is for image composition. The actual image will be recorded in accordance with the currently selected recording mode (page 36).

Shooting Indoors under Fluorescent Lighting

• Minute flickering of fluorescent lighting can affect the brightness or color of an image.

Other Precautions

• The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noticeable noise will be generated in an image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a noise reduction at slow shutter speeds. The noise reduction process causes it to take longer to record images at lower shutter speeds. The shutter speeds for which noise reduction is performed depend on the camera setup and shooting conditions.

• A noise reduction process is performed when ISO sensitivity is set to a high value. This can cause the camera to take relatively longer to be ready to shoot again after you press the shutter button. Do not perform any operation while the image recording operation is in progress.

• Due to the characteristics of the imaging element used by the camera, very fast moving objects in an image may appear distorted.

. Auto Focus Restrictions

• Any of the following can make proper focus impossible. – Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject – Strongly back lit subject – Very shiny subject – Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern – Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera – Subject in a dark location – Camera movement while shooting – Fast-moving subject – Subjects outside the focus range of the camera

• If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 64).

Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording

You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during Full HD and HD movie recording. Note, however, that this does not prevent image blur due to subject movement.

High Speed Movie Recording Precautions

• When shooting a high speed movie, shoot in a well-lit environment.

• When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands to appear in the image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

Recording Images

IMPORTANT!

• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• The camera also records audio along with Full HD and HD movies. Note the following points when shooting a movie. – Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your

fingers, etc.

– Good audio recording results are not possible when the

camera is too far away from what you are trying to record.

Microphone

• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down, which should cause normal operation to resume.

• Using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all operations can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens, the movie icon will turn yellow on the monitor screen.

NOTE

• Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie recording (page 41). Zoom is disabled during high speed movie recording. If you

want to use zoom, perform the zoom operation before you touch “

” (Movie) to

start recording.

• SR Zoom (page 41) is disabled during movie recording.

• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, stabilizing the camera by placing it on a level surface, etc. is recommended.

• During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto

Focus before you touch “

” (Movie) to start recording.

Recording Images

Using BEST SHOT

BEST SHOT provides you with a collection of sample “scenes” that show a variety of different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the camera, simply find the scene that matches what you are trying to achieve, and the camera sets up for it automatically. This helps to minimize the chance of ruined images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

. To shoot an image with BEST SHOT

1. In the REC mode, touch the recording mode

icon (page 29).

• If the icon is not displayed on the screen, touch the tab to display it.

2. Touch “b” (BEST SHOT).

A single press of the shutter button causes the camera to record multiple images and automatically combine them, which reduces image blur due to camera movement.

1. In the REC mode, touch “b” (BEST SHOT).

2. Touch “High Speed Anti Shake” scene.

3. When you are ready to shoot, press the shutter button.

NOTE

• With this BEST SHOT scene, the LED light setting automatically becomes off.

• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than normal.

• High Speed Anti Shake may not operate properly resulting in blurred images if the camera is moved more than the allowable range or if the subject moves during shooting.

• When shooting with this BEST SHOT scene, the ISO sensitivity setting is fixed at “AUTO”.

Using BEST SHOT

Shooting with Priority on Subject Faces (High Speed Best Selection)

With High Speed Best Selection, the camera automatically shoots a series of images, and selects the best one based on facial image blur, and facial expression (whether the subject is smiling or blinking).

1. In the REC mode, touch “b” (BEST SHOT).

2. Touch “Best Selection” scene.

3. Press the shutter button to shoot.

• This will cause the message “Busy... Please wait...” to appear. Do not move the camera while this message is displayed. The recording process takes some time to complete after the message appears.

NOTE

• With this BEST SHOT scene, the LED light setting automatically becomes off.

• Shooting with this BEST SHOT scene makes the shooting range narrower than normal.

• If one or more of the faces are blurred in all of the images that are shot, they will be blurred in the final image as well.

• The following conditions may make it impossible for the camera to determine if the subject is blinking or smiling. This may result in a final image in which the subject is blinking or not smiling. – Faces that are partially or completely darkened by shadows, etc. – Hair that is hiding or near the eyes – Eye glasses – Small faces – Faces that are not looking directly at the camera

• Shooting a large group of people will cause processing of the image after shooting to take longer.

Using BEST SHOT

Shooting a Panorama Image (Slide Panorama)

With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose and record multiple images, which are then combined to a panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama which is dramatically greater than the physical capabilities of the lens.

• The final panorama image can be one of the two sizes shown below. Slide Direction is Right or Left: Maximum 11520 Slide Direction is Up or Down: Maximum 1920

• Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom setting is fixed at full wide angle.

• You can shoot a panorama image for approximately 360 degrees horizontally, or approximately 180 degrees vertically.

1. In the REC mode, touch “b” (BEST SHOT).

2. Touch “s” (Slide Panorama) scene.

3. Touch the icon for the slide direction (the

direction the camera will move while shooting).

You can select one of four different slide directions: “ ” (right), “ ” (left), “ ” (up), “ ” (down).

4. Point the camera at the start of the panorama

and half-press the shutter button to allow the camera to focus automatically.

5. Press the shutter button the rest of the way

down and a slide cursor will appear on the monitor screen. Slowly move the camera in the direction indicated by the arrow on the screen until the slide cursor reaches the other end of its movement range (i.e. all the way to the right when moving the camera to the right).

• The camera will start composing the panorama image internally when the slide cursor reached the other end of the movement range.

Slide cursor

Using BEST SHOT

• Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera during panorama shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message “Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled while the message is displayed.

NOTE

• The following conditions are not compatible with Slide Panorama shooting. – Subject whose brightness is very different from that of its surroundings due to

artificial light, sunlight, etc. – Rivers, waves, waterfalls, or other subject with constantly changing patterns – Sky, beach, or other subject with continuous patterns – Camera too close to the main subject – Moving subject – Dark surroundings

• Slide Panorama may stop part way through in the following cases. – Subject or camera movement – Camera movement that is too fast or too slow

• Shooting a Slide Panorama image after half-pressing the shutter button to perform Auto Focus may not produce the desired results if there are considerable differences in the brightness, color, and/or focus of the individual images. If this happens, try changing the focus position by focusing on a different subject, etc.

• Since a Slide Panorama image is created by joining multiple images together, there may be some roughness at the point where two images are joined.

• Shooting under a flickering light source (such as fluorescent lighting) may result in uneven brightness and/or coloring in the final Slide Panorama image.

• The exposure and white balance when shooting Slide Panorama images are fixed at the levels measured when you half-press the shutter button at the beginning of the operation.

• With this BEST SHOT scene, the LED light setting automatically becomes off.

This setting will cause the format to change automatically in accordance with the connected TV. Normally, you should use this mode.

* 1080i corresponds to 1080 60i, but not 1080 50i. Because of this, the required

output method may be 576p when outputting to a digital TV in a PAL reception area that does not support 1080i 60i. If you are in a PAL reception area and nothing is displayed automatically, change the setting to 576p.
