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 five 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 13 for more information.

Simple touch panel operation

The monitor screen is a touch panel that can be
used to perform operations.

See page 16 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.

11

Quick Start Basics

Quick and easy image upload

The camera includes built-in software (CASIO
Connection powered by Eye-Fi) that can be
installed on a computer for simplifies uploading
of image to an online service.

See page 84 for more information.

HDR Art

An HDR Art feature combines different parts of a
burst of images shot with different exposures into
a final image and performs high-precision image
analysis to produce final images that are true
works of art.

See page 37 for more information.

12

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.

13

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

illustration.

2. Firmly holding the frame, carefully rotate the monitor screen panel.

180 degrees clockwise

90 degrees counterclockwise

14

Quick Start Basics

Camera Configurations

You can open the frame and rotate the monitor screen for a variety of different styles.

Normal Shooting Movie Recording

Shoot with the monitor screen facing the
opposite direction of the lens.

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

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 121.

Supported Memory Cards

– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
– SDXC Memory Card

Use one of the above types of memory card.

• Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card Association specification.

• This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards.

You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.

1. Load a memory card (page 26).

2. Turn on the camera and then touch “MENU”.

• If “MENU” is not displayed on the screen, touch the tab to display it (page 35).

3. Drag upwards and downwards until you find “Setup”, and then touch it.

4. Touch “Format”.

5. Touch “Format” and then touch “Yes”.

This starts the memory card format operation.

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 memory card on
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the
camera. In the case of an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a
computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with
compatibility, operation, etc.

• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi
Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

“Focus lock” (page 62) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to
shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in
the center of the screen.

. Shooting with Premium Auto

• In addition to shutter speed and ISO sensitivity, the camera automatically executes
the following operation as required when shooting with Premium Auto.
– Auto Focus is normally performed until you half-press the shutter button.
– The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses

there.

– When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to ten

individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.

• When shooting with Premium Auto, the message “Processing Premium Auto.
Please wait...” may appear on the monitor screen. If you feel the camera is taking
too long to process data, try shooting with standard Auto instead.

• In some cases, Premium Auto may not be able to interpret the shooting
environment correctly. If this happens, shoot with standard Auto.

Quick Start Basics

Snapshot Shooting Precautions

Operation

• If unwanted light is shining directly onto the lens, shade the lens with your hand.

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 62).

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

• 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

• 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.

• Shooting in dark surroundings may result in a blurred image or may make Slide
Panorama shooting impossible.

• Slowly move the camera at a constant speed in the same direction as the arrow
that appears on the monitor screen.

Using Motion Shutter to Trigger a Self-timer Operation (Motion Shutter)

With Motion Shutter the camera automatically triggers
a self-timer countdown whenever it detects subject
movement within a framed area you specify on the
monitor screen. This means you can control operation
of the self-timer from a distance by waving your hand,
so you can include yourself in the image being shot.

1. In the REC mode, touch the recording mode

icon (page 29).

2. Touch “l” (Motion Shutter).

3. Drag “ ” to the location in the image where you want movement to be

detected.

4. When everything is ready, press the shutter button all the way down.

Motion Shutter will go into standby to wait for trigger movement.

5. Facing the camera, move your hand or perform some other movement

in the area of the icon you positioned in step 3.

When the camera detects subject movement within the framed area, it will
automatically start a self-timer countdown. The camera will shoot an image when
the countdown reaches zero, and then go back into Motion Shutter standby to
wait for the next trigger movement.

NOTE

• The trigger time of the Motion Shutter self-timer is fixed at two seconds.

• Motion Shutter exits standby automatically after it shoots six images.

• To cancel Motion Shutter standby at any time, press the shutter button.

• Motion Shutter may not operate properly when there is little difference in the color
of the subject and the color of the background enclosed by the boundary, or when
the subject is located far away from the camera, making it too small.

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.

45

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.

• Shooting a movie using the camera’s built-in memory will cause movie frames to
be dropped. Always use a high speed memory card (not built-in memory) for movie
recording.

• 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 movie icon 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.

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 “

b

” (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 “

b

” (Movie) to start recording.

. To view copied images

1. Double-click the camera’s drive icon.

2. Double-click the “DCIM” folder to open it.

3. Double-click the folder that contains the images you want to view.

4. Double-click the image file you want to view.

• For information about file names, see “Memory Folder Structure” on page 94.

• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your Macintosh
screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.

Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files
that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.

Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which
will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter
remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.

IMPORTANT!

• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.

Transferring Images Automatically and Managing Them on Your Macintosh

If you are running Mac OS X, you can manage snapshots using iPhoto, which comes
bundled with some Macintosh products. If you are running Mac OS 9, you will need to
use commercially available software.

Using an Eye-Fi Wireless SD Memory Card to Transfer Images (Eye-Fi)

Shooting with an Eye-Fi wireless SD memory card loaded in the camera makes it
possible to transfer image data automatically to a computer via wireless LAN.

1. Configure LAN access point, transfer destination and other settings for

the Eye-Fi card in accordance with the instructions that come with the
Eye-Fi card.

2. After configuring settings, load the Eye-Fi card into the camera and

record.

Images you record are sent by wireless LAN to your computer, etc.

• For full details, see the user documentation that comes with the Eye-Fi card.

• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi
Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

IMPORTANT!

• Recorded images are transferred over wireless LAN. Do not use the Eye-Fi card or
turn off Eye-Fi card communication (page 95) when on an aircraft or in any other
location where use of wireless communication is limited or prohibited.

• The Eye-Fi icon will be displayed on the monitor screen while all
three of the following conditions exist: Eye-Fi card loaded; Eye-Fi
setting “On”; Status On (page 102).

• The camera’s Auto Power Off function is disabled while image data
transfer is in progress.

• A confirmation message will appear on the monitor screen if you try to turn off the
camera while image data transfer is in progress. Follow the instructions in the
messages (page 120).

• Transfer of a large number of images can take some time to complete.

• Depending on the type of Eye-Fi card you are using and its settings, images on the
Eye-Fi card may be deleted following image data transfer.

• When recording a movie to an Eye-Fi card, it can take too much time to record
data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio.

• Proper Eye-Fi card data communication may not be possible due to camera
settings, battery level, or operating conditions.

Using the Camera with a Computer

Files and Folders

The camera creates a file each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or
perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in
folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.

• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder
Structure” (page 94).

Name and Maximum Number Allowed Example

File

Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named
CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension
on the file name depends on the file type.

Folders

Folders are named from 100CASIO to
999CASIO.
There can be up to 900 folders in memory.

• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file
names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see page 10.

• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and
quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.

. Supported Image Files

• Image files shot with this camera

• DCF-compliant image files

This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When
displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the
image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.

. Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions

• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders it to
change their names to dates or something similar after you copy them to your
computer. If you later decided to return a DCIM folder to the camera, however, be
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the
folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.

• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”
shown on page 94 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access
camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.
