LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel used for the monitor screen and viewfinder employs highprecision technology that provides a pixel yield 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 177.

Supported Memory Cards

– SD Memory Card – SDHC Memory Card – MMC (MultiMediaCard) – MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)

Use one of the above types of memory card.

. Memory Card Handling Precautions

Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may experience problems saving high-quality movies. Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. The “0 REC” indicator on the monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being lost. Use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

To load a memory card

1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then open

the memory card slot cover.

Pressing the memory card slot cover, slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow.

2. Load a memory card.

Positioning the memory card so its front is facing in the same direction as the monitor screen side of the camera, slide it into the card slot as far as it will go, until you hear it click securely into place.

Front Back

3. Close the memory card slot cover.

Pressing the memory card slot cover against the camera, slide it closed.

• For information about how to replace the memory card, see page 160.

Quick Start Basics

IMPORTANT!

• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 16) 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.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

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

1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

2. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].

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

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 or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc.

Quick Start Basics

To shoot a snapshot

1. Remove the lens cap and then press [r] (REC) to turn on the camera.

2. Set the mode dial to t (Auto).

Fully pressing the shutting button without waiting for Auto Focus to operate will record using Quick Shutter (page 84).

• With Quick Shutter, the camera focuses faster than normal 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.

. If the image does not focus...

If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.) Point the camera at the subject and try to focus again.

Quick Start Basics

. If the subject is not in the center of the frame...

“Focus lock” (page 44) 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.

Holding the Camera Correctly

Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the

Snapshot Tutorial

IMPORTANT!

• You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when shooting an image that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode to adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.

• Due to the characteristics of the camera’s semiconductor, slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise in images. The camera performs an automatic noise reduction process whenever the shutter speed is 1 second or slower (except for images shot with Bracketing CS). Storage of images shot at slower shutter speeds takes longer because of the time required for noise reduction. Do not perform any key operation while the image storage 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.

• Depending on the shutter speed setting and the recording mode you used, the brightness of what appears on the monitor screen when you record the image may be different from the brightness of the recorded image.

• Image AS (page 81) does not work in the S mode and M mode. You can, however, turn on Camera AS, if you like.

• The recording mode changes to

t (Auto) automatically whenever you shoot a

movie with the “STD” or “HD” movie mode (page 64).

• The aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity settings configured with the snapshot A Mode, S Mode, or M Mode are used when shooting a movie with the “HS” movie mode (page 64). Note, however, that the shutter speed range is limited in accordance with the frame rate specified for the high-speed movie.

• When recording with some modes, light source flicker can cause horizontal bands to appear in the image.

Changing the Image Size (Size)

. Pixels

A digital camera image is a collection of small dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are in an image, the more detail there will be. However, you generally can do with fewer pixels when printing an image (L size) through a print service, attaching an image to e-mail, when viewing the image on a computer, etc.

. About image sizes

The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels

2816x2112 size image = Approximately 6

million pixels 640x480 size image = Approximately

300,000 pixels

vertical pixels.

Image Size Selection Tips

Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.

Large Number of Pixels

* More detail, but takes up more memory. Best when you plan

to print large-size prints (such as A3 size).

Small Number of Pixels

* Less detail, but takes up less memory. Best when you want to

send images by e-mail, etc.

Though the image of such data is virtually undeteriorated, it cannot be viewed on the camera’s monitor screen or printed. After transferring RAW image data to your computer, you can use software that supports the generalpurpose DNG format to process the image and convert it to image data that suits your particular needs. Since both RAW image data and JPEG data are saved by the camera, you can view the JPEG version on the camera’s monitor screen.

• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too close.

• Flash charging time depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient temperature, etc.) With a fully charged battery it takes anywhere from a few seconds to 9 seconds.

• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, secure the camera with a tripod, etc.

• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.

• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.

• Select “Flash Off” for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash photography is prohibited.

• Approximate Flash Range (ISO Sensitivity: AUTO) Wide Angle: 0.5 m to 6.7 m (1.6' to 22.0') Telephoto: 1.1 m to 3.9 m (3.6' to 12.8') * The above values depend on the optical zoom setting.

charging is complete.

Snapshot Tutorial

Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, an LED light will light immediately before the flash fires. This causes the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to become smaller, which reduces the chance of red eye. Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.

• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).

• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the camera.

Other Useful Flash Features

• Changing the flash intensity (page 89)

• Compensating for insufficient flash intensity (page 89)

• Using an external flash (page 92)

Shooting with Zoom

Your camera provides you with 12X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 12X to 180.7X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 42).

1. In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.

Zoom controller

z Telephoto w Wide Angle

z (Telephoto) : Enlarges the subject and narrows the range w (Wide Angle) : Reduces the size of the subject and broadens the range

• Sliding the zoom controller as far as it will go in either direction will zoom at high speed.

2. Press the shutter button to shoot the image.

NOTE

• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image deterioration (page 42).

• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera movement when shooting with telephoto.

• Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.

• Digital zoom is disabled while “RAW+” is selected for the “Image Size” setting (page 30).

Snapshot Tutorial

Optical Zoom/Digital Zoom Switch Point

If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.

NOTE

• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.

• When proper focusing with Macro Focus is not possible because the subject is outside the macro range, the camera will switch to the Auto Focus range automatically (Auto Macro).

• Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only.

• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.

• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus, Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you the focus range, as shown below. Example: oo cm to 9

* oo is the actual focusing range value. * Products marketed in some geographic areas display inches and feet.

• Always be sure to select Auto Focus (AF) as the focus mode whenever using face detection (page 82).

• With flash, you can specify consecutive recording of three to 20 images as the maximum number of images recorded if you keep the shutter button depressed.

• With the LED light, holding down the shutter button will record from one to 60 consecutive images.

In this mode, half-pressing the shutter button starts continual prerecording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores prerecorded images and performs continuous shutter recording of new images until you release the shutter button. You can specify anywhere from one second to up to 60 seconds as the continuous shutter shooting time, which is the amount of time for which prerecorded images are saved plus the amount of time that continuous shutter recording is performed after the shutter button is pressed all the way down. You even can specify that the camera should save only images that were pre-recorded for a period of from one to 60 seconds when the shutter button is pressed all the way down. Use this mode when you want to make sure you do not miss fast-moving action.

This mode continues to shoot images as long as you keep the shutter button depressed, and you can change the shooting speed while recording is in progress. You can record up to 60 images when any setting other than AUTO-N is specified. When AUTO-N is specified, consecutive image recording it possible until the memory card is full.

Continuous Shutter Precautions

• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using continuous shutter.

• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for successive images as well.

• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following. Movie Mode, some BEST SHOT scenes (Digital Anti Shake, Move Out CS, Move In CS, Digital Panning)

• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is finished.

• In the Prerecord (Still image) and High-speed CS modes, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (flash off).

• Zoom is disabled during continuous shutter operations.

• Automatic noise reduction at slow shutter speeds is not performed when shooting with Bracketing CS.

• When the High-speed CS speed setting is anything other than “AUTO-N”, the maximum number of images per continuous shutter session is limited for Prerecord (Still image), Flash CS, and Bracketing, even if there is memory card capacity available to store more images.

High-speed CS speed setting not “AUTO-N” Up to 60 images

Prerecord (Still image) Up to 60 images

Flash CS with flash Up to 3 to 20 images

Flash CS with LED light Up to 60 images

Bracketing Up to 5 images

The number of images will be restricted even further or shooting may be impossible when remaining memory card capacity is less than the allowable number of images for a particular CS mode.

• The Flash CS mode switches between the flash and the LED light automatically in accordance with the CS speed. You cannot switch between the flash and the LED light manually. In the Flash CS mode, either the flash or the LED light will fire whenever an image is shot.

Audio

Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio during movie recording. An external microphone jack also supports connection of a commercially available external microphone. Note, however, that the built-in microphones are disabled while an external microphone is being used.

. Recording Precautions

The camera also records audio. Note the following points when shooting a movie.

– Take care that the microphones are not

blocked by your fingers, etc.

– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is

too far away from what you are trying to record.

– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button

noise to be picked up in the audio.

NOTE

• 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.

• Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. The “0 REC” indicator on the monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being lost. To avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

• 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, use of a tripod is recommended under these conditions.

• Face Detection is disabled during movie recording.

Using an External Flash

Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible to obtain a higher level of brightness than you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external flash also makes it possible to extend the effective range of flash photography.

IMPORTANT!

• Some flash performance may be lost when using a ring flash or other type of unit with a long flash time.

• The aperture value and ISO sensitivity available with some flash units may not match the values supported by your camera. In such a case, make adjustments in the aperture setting of the external flash and the camera until proper brightness is achieved.

• An external flash unit cannot be used with Flash CS (page 48).

. Before Using an External Flash Unit

Be sure to perform the following steps before using an external flash unit.

1. In the REC mode, set the CS dial to t (Single Shot).

2. Press [2] ( ) once.

3. Use [4] and [6] to select ¢ (External Flash) and then press [SET].

Now if you connect an external flash unit it will fire whenever you shoot a snapshot. The built-in flash will not fire.

IMPORTANT!

• Be sure to select ¢ (External Flash) for the flash mode setting when using an external flash. If you don’t, the built-in flash will pop up during shooting, which can lead to malfunction if it comes into contact with the external flash unit.

• Note that the brightness of what you see on the monitor screen will be different from the brightness of the image you record. Make sure you check the settings of your external flash and of the camera before recording.

Advanced Settings

. Using an External Flash Unit

IMPORTANT!

• Always make sure that the external flash unit is turned off before attaching it to or detaching it from the camera. Leaving the flash unit on can cause it to fire unexpectedly.

1. Remove the shoe cap.

• Keep the shoe cap in a safe place where it will not become lost.

• Replace the shoe cap when you are not using the external flash shoe. The shoe cap protects the shoe contact from dirt and damage.

2. Attach the external flash unit to the

External flash unit

external flash shoe.

3. Turn on camera power and make the

External flash shoe

required camera settings.

REC mode: M (Manual Exposure) mode Shutter Speed: Around 1/60 (Select the aperture to match the type of image you are shooting.) White Balance: ¤ (Daylight) Flash Mode: ¢ (External Flash) (page 92)

4. Turn on the external flash unit, and set it up for the camera’s aperture

value and sensitivity value.

• Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure may not be attained even if you properly set the auto aperture value and ISO sensitivity of the flash unit to match those of the camera. If this happens, adjust the auto aperture value, ISO sensitivity, or other settings of the flash unit. Also try adjusting the aperture of the camera and the ISO sensitivity to match the flash setting.

Advanced Settings

. External Flash Precautions

• After recording an image, check it on the monitor screen. If it is not what you expected, use the controls on the external flash unit to adjust flash intensity, and adjust the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings on the camera. Note that you cannot control external flash unit intensity using camera settings.

• Close up images often tend to be overexposed. If you are having overexposure problems, try adjusting the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings of the external flash unit and the camera. You can also try using the camera’s built in flash to correct for overexposure.

• Camera aperture (F) values are based on the widest optical zoom (1X). Using telephoto can cause slight lens darkness. Adjust the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings of the external flash unit and the camera as required when using optical zoom.

• If you do not plan to use the external flash, detach it from the camera and select some setting other than ¢ (External Flash) as the flash mode. The built-in flash will not operate properly while an external flash is attached.

Installing the Lens Hood or a Lens Filter

Use the procedures in this section to install the lens hood that comes with the camera or a commercially available filter.

Installing the Lens Hood

Installing the lens hood that comes with the camera shuts out unwanted light when shooting in very strong sunlight or against backlighting, which helps to reduce the chance of ghosting and flaring. When installing the lens hood, align the guide mark on the hood with the guide mark on the camera lens, and press the hood until you hear it click into place. To remove the lens hood, press the buttons on the left and right and pull it towards you.

Lens hood

Guide marks

Buttons

The lens hood can be attached backwards when transporting the camera.

Advanced Settings

NOTE

• Depending on the angle of the light, the lens hood may not have the desired effect.

• Using the flash with the lens hood attached can cause vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image). Remove the lens hood before using the flash.

• Use of a commercially available lens hood may cause vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image).

Installing a Filter

This camera supports use of commercially available 62mm filters.

NOTE

• Carefully read the user documentation that comes with filters for information about how to use them properly.

• Keep the following points in mind when purchasing a filter. – Use of a filter can cause blackening around the edges of images. – Use of a filter may interfere with proper operation of Auto Focus and flash. – Filters may not deliver the same results as those obtained with a film camera.

• Do not use multiple filters.
