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

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 218.

Supported Memory Cards

– SD Memory Card – SDHC Memory Card – SDXC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card.
• The above are supported memory card types as of October 2015.
• This camera supports use of SD memory cards of the following types and capacities: SD memory cards up to 2GB; SDHC memory cards greater than 2GB, up to 32GB; SDXC memory cards greater than 32GB, up to 2TB. 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.
26
Quick Start Basics

To load a memory card

Front Back
Front
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 front is facing upwards (towards the lens 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 26) 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.
27
Quick Start Basics
To replace the memory card
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 10) 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.
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 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 “
press [6].

• 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.
• The supplied strap is intended for use with this camera only. Never use it for any other purpose.
• Shooting an image while the camera’s “Auto Rotate” setting is “On” will cause the playback image to be rotated automatically to the orientation the camera was in when the image was recorded (page 176).
• Take care to ensure that your fingers are not blocking or are not too close to the flash. Fingers can cause unwanted shadows when using the flash.
