LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision 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.

Charging Precautions

. If the camera’s back lamp starts flashing green at high speed...

• Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery may be either too high or too low. Disconnect the USB cable and wait until temperature is within the allowable charging range before trying again.

• Battery contacts may be dirty. Wipe them with a dry cloth.

• Try connecting to a different computer USB port. Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the camera’s battery over a USB connection.

If problems continue to occur after you perform the above steps, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.

Battery Precautions

. Precautions during Use

• Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.

• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or even fail.

• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.

• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

. Storage Precautions

• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it.

• Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge when you need to use the camera.

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).

• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

Appendix

Using the Camera in another Country

. Precautions during Use

• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply requirements in your destination(s).

• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

. Extra Batteries

• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-80) is recommended while on a trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.

Memory Card Precautions

. Using a Memory Card

• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card you must then turn write protection off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.

• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 64). However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.

• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory card is recommended.

• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).

Appendix

. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the

Camera

The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to another party.

• When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or use commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the memory card.

• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.

• Use the format function (page 65) to completely delete the data in built-in memory before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

About Folder and File Names

Your camera automatically creates specific directory of folders in the internal memory cards to organize captured images and videos.

File Naming

File names begin with “CIMG” and followed by a 4-digit number that increases in sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created. If the highest folder number is 999 and the highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera will display the warning message “Folder cannot be created”. When this happens, try one of the following ways:

• Reset the file number. See “Setting File Numbering” on page 64.

. About DCF

The following operations are supported for DCF-compliant images. Note, however, that CASIO makes no performance guarantees concerning these operations.

• Transferring this camera’s DCF-compliant images to another manufacturer’s camera and view them.

• Printing this camera’s DCF-compliant images on another manufacturer’s printer.

• Transferring another camera’s DCF-compliant images to this camera and view them.

This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.

. Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions

• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM copies of the DCIM folders it to change its name to a date or something similar after you copy it to your computer. If you later decided to return the folder to the camera, however, be sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had when you copied them from the camera to your computer.

• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure” shown on page 81 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.

• You also can use a computer card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.

• A Subject Image File (CIMG Subject Image File on your computer and transfer it back to the camera. Doing so can cause abnormal camera operation.

.JPE) contains special image data. Never edit a

Approximate Battery Life

All of the values provided below represent the approximate amount of time under normal temperature (23°C (73°F)) before the camera turns off. These values are not guaranteed. Low temperatures shorten battery life.

Number of Shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)*

Continuous Playback (Snapshots)*

Approximate continuous movie recording time*

180 shots

4 hours

1 hour 20 minutes

• Battery: NP-80 (Rated Capacity: 700 mAh)

• Recording Medium: 1GB SD memory card (PRO HIGH SPEED (Panasonic Corporation))

• Measurement Conditions

*1 Approximate number of shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)

In accordance with CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association) standards Normal temperature (23°C (73°F)), monitor on, zoom operation between full wide and full telephoto every 30 seconds, during which two images are shot with flash; power turned off and back on every time 10 images are shot.

*2 Approximate playback time

Standard temperature (23°C (73°F)), one-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds

*3 Approximate time for a repeated cycle of 10 minutes recording followed by deletion of

the recorded file.

• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery life.

• Frequency of flash, zoom, and Auto Focus usage, and the time the camera is on greatly affects recording time and number of shots values.
