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

196).

• See page 240 for information about battery life and number of shots.

Battery Power Conservation Tips

• Entering the “ECO Mode” (page 189) enables low-power operation. Note that lowpower operation decreases monitor screen brightness.

• Enable the Auto Power Off (page 193) and the Sleep (page 193) features to protect against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera.

• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 116).

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 197). 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.

Quick Start Basics

1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the

NOTE

[ON/OFF] (Power)

camera.

2. Use [8] and [2] to select the language

you want and then press [SET].

3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style

and then press [SET].

Example: July 10, 2017 YY/MM/DD DD/MM/YY MM/DD/YY

* 17/7/10 * 10/7/17 * 7/10/17

4. Set the date and the time.

Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to change and then use [8] and [2] to change it. To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, use [4] and [6] to select “24h” and then use [8] and [2] to change the setting.

5. After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6]

to select “Apply” and then press [SET].

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct the settings.

– Display language: page 197 – Date and time: page 196

• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they are subject to change.

• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults. Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.

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 235.

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 July 2016.

• 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.

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.

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].

3. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [6].

4. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].

5. Use [8] and [2] to select “Yes” and then press [SET].
