Using a Memory Card
■ Loading a Memory Card into the Camera
When a memory card is loaded, the camera stores images you
shoot on the card.
NOT
• Though the camera has built-in memory, using a memory
card provides additional capacity you can use to store more
images, high-quality and large-size images, and longer
movies.
• The camera will store images in its built-in memory if there
is no memory card loaded. If you prefer to use built-in
memory, skip this procedure and go to “Shooting a
Snapshot” on page 15.
• For information about memory card capacity, see page
227.
1. Open the battery cover.
While pressing lightly on the
cover, slide it in the
direction indicated by the
arrow to open.

■ Formatting a Memory Card
Before you can use a memory card with your camera, you must
format it.
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 perform the following procedure on the camera
to format the memory card.
5. Press [S] to select “Format” and then press
[SET].
• To cancel formatting, select “Cancel” and then press
[SET].
• Wait until the “Busy... Please wait...” message disappears
from the monitor screen before doing anything else.

QUICK START BASICS
Snapshot Image Size and Image Quality
Your camera lets you select from among various image size
and quality settings. Note that image size and quality
settings affect how many images can be stored in memory.
• You can change the image size and quality settings as
required to shoot a smaller or lower-resolution image for
attachment to an e-mail message, for publishing on a
website, etc. You can also select an image size that suits
the size of paper you plan to use for printing your images.
For details, see pages 61, 63, and 227.
How do I half-press the shutter button?
The shutter button is designed to stop about half way down
when you press it lightly. Stopping at this point is called a
“half-press”. When you half-press the shutter button, the
camera automatically adjusts exposure and focuses on the
subject it is currently pointed at.
Mastering how much pressure is required for a half-press
and a full-press of the shutter button is an important
technique for good-looking images.
Half-press

button stops.

■ Fully pressing the shutter button without
waiting for Auto Focus
Fully pressing the shutter button without waiting for Auto
Focus to operate will record using Quick Shutter (page 103).
Quick Shutter lets you capture exactly the moment you want.
• With Quick Shutter, the camera uses high-speed Auto
Focus, which means you can capture quick moving action
more easily. Note, however, that some images may be out
of focus when Quick Shutter is used.
• Whenever possible, take a little extra time to half-press
the shutter button in order to ensure proper focus.

Movie quality is a standard that determines the detail,
smoothness, and clarity of the image during playback.
Reducing image quality let’s you shoot longer, so you can
switch to “Normal” or “LP” conserve remaining memory

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses highprecision technology that provides a pixel yield in excess of
99.99%.
This means that some 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.

unauthorized means creates the risk of battery overheating,
fire, and explosion.
• Do not expose or immerse the battery in fresh water or salt
water. Doing so can damage the battery, and cause
deterioration of its performance and loss of service life.
• This battery is intended for use with a CASIO Digital Camera
only. Use with any other device creates the risk of the battery
damage, or deterioration of battery performance and service
life.
• Failure to observe any of the following precautions creates
the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion.
– Never use or leave the battery near open flame.
– Do not expose batteries to heat or fire.
– Make sure the battery is oriented correctly when it is
connected to the charger unit.
– Never carry or store the battery together with items that can
conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead, etc.)
– Never disassemble the battery, pierce it with a needle, or
expose it to strong impact (hit it with a hammer, step on it,
etc.), and never apply solder to it. Never place the battery
into a microwave oven, heater, high-pressure generating
device, etc.
• Should you ever notice leakage, strange odor, heat
generation, discoloration, deformation, or any other abnormal
condition while using, charging, or storing a battery,
immediately remove it from the camera or charger unit and
keep it away from open flame.
• Do not use or leave the battery under direct sunlight, in an
automobile parked in the sun, or in any other area subject to
high temperatures. Doing so can damage the battery, and

responsible adult makes them aware of the precautions and
proper handling instructions, and make sure that they handle
battery correctly.
• Should fluid from a battery accidentally get onto clothing or
your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean tap water.
Prolonged contact with battery fluid can cause skin irritation.
■ Battery Life
• Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual
represent the approximate amount of time before the camera
turns off due to low battery power when being powered by the
special battery under normal temperature (23°C (73°F)). They
do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated
level of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by
ambient temperature, battery storage conditions, the amount
of time spent in storage, etc.
• Leaving the camera on can run down battery and cause the
low battery warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever
you are not using it.
• The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to
turn off due to low battery power. Charge the battery as soon
as possible. Leaving low or dead batteries in the camera can
lead to battery leakage and data corruption.
