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.

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
Recording is not possible when is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 20 days with no power supplied while the battery is
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page
194).
• See page 238 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• Entering the “ECO Mode” (page 187) enables low-power operation. Note that lowpower operation decreases monitor screen brightness.
• Enable the Auto Power Off (page 191) and the Sleep (page 191) features to protect
against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera.
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 113).
Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the Camera
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the
display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.
IMPORTANT!
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the
Display Language (Language)” (page 195). Note that a version of this manual in
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the
Japanese market.
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language
selection.

27
Quick Start Basics
Preparing a Memory Card
Though the camera has built-in memory, its capacity is small. To shoot a large
number of images or long movies, you will need to use a commercially available
memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 233.
Supported Memory Cards
Your camera supports use of the following types of SD memory
cards.
– SD Memory Card (Up to 2GB)
– SDHC Memory Card (2GB to 32GB)
– SDXC Memory Card (32GB to 2TB)
• The above are supported memory card types as of December 2015.
• Values in parentheses are specification values.
• Note that the ability to use any particular card with this camera, even if it satisfies
the above capacity and type requirements, is not guaranteed.
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, highquality movies may not be able to be stored correctly. A slow memory card can take
too much time to record data and result in breaks in the image and/or audio during
playback. When this happens a yellow “Y” indicator will appear on the monitor
screen.
28
Quick Start Basics
To load a memory card
Front Back
Back
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off
the camera and then open the
battery cover.
2. Load a memory card.
Positioning the memory card so its back
is facing upwards (towards the monitor
screen side of the camera), slide it into
the card slot all the way in until you hear
it click securely into place.
3. Close the battery cover.
IMPORTANT!
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 28) into the memory
card slot.
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off
the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center.
29
Quick Start Basics
To replace the memory card
IMPORTANT!
Back lamp
Press the memory card and then release it.
This will cause it to pop out of the memory
card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest
of the way and then insert another one.
IMPORTANT!
• Turn off the camera before replacing the
memory card.
• The back lamp (page 11) will flash green
for some time after you press [ON/OFF]
(Power) to turn off the camera. Never remove the memory card while the back
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and
even damage the memory card.
To format (initialize) a new memory card
Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.
• 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 card on a
computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down
processing time and cause compatibility, performance, and other problems.
1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].
2. Press [4], use [8] and [2] to select the “
¥
SETTING” tab, and then
press [6].
