Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subjects eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true with young children. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter (3.3) from the eyes of the subject. Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it get wet. Moisture creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc. Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the cameras battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking care you do not burn your fingers, remove the cameras battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
INTRODUCTION Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor besides the one that comes with this camera. Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater. At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the risk of fire. If the cameras case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the cameras battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other area where its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk of accident. Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Always keep backup copies of data by transferring them to personal computer memory. Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file memory.

Contacts

I Loading the Battery into the Rapid Charger
Making sure that the positive and negative contacts are aligned correctly, load the battery into the rapid charger. Note that the battery will not charge properly if it is not positioned correctly in the rapid charger.

I To charge the battery

1. Correctly positioning the positive and
negative terminals of the battery, load the battery into the rapid charger.

2. Plug the rapid charger into a household

power outlet.

This will cause the [CHARGE] lamp to turn red. Charging will take about two hours. Note that the shape of the rapid charger depends on the area where you purchased the camera.
NOTE The power cord type rapid charger is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC. Note, however, that the shape of the AC power cord plug varies according to country or geographic area. If you plan to use the rapid charger in a geographic area where the power receptacle shape is different from that in your area, replace the AC power cord with one of the other ones that come with the camera, or purchase a commercially available AC power cord that is compatible with the power outlets in that area.

3. The [CHARGE] lamp turns green when

charging is complete.

4. After charging is complete, unplug the rapid
charger from the power outlet, and remove the battery from it.
Always unplug the rapid charger from the power outlet and remove the battery whenever you are not charging.
NOTE The plug-in type rapid charger is designed for operation on power ranging from 100V AC to 240V AC. Note, however, that the shape of the power plug varies according to country or geographic area. When traveling abroad, it is up to you to find out if the shape of the rapid charger power plug is compatible with local power outlets and to purchase any required adaptors.
GETTING READY IMPORTANT! If the battery or rapid charger is very hot or cold when you start charging or if it becomes hot during charging, the rapid charger will enter a standby state, which is indicated when its [CHARGE] lamp is lit amber. Charging will resume when the temperature returns to the allowable charging temperature range, which is indicated when the [CHARGE] lamp turns red. Charging the battery while it is still warm immediately after removing it from the camera can result in only partial charging. Give the battery time to cool before charging it. Battery discharges slightly even when it is left without loading it into the camera. Because of this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to use it. The battery used with this camera is specifically designed for use with digital cameras. If you want to try to use it to power another type of device, you should first check the user documentation that comes with the device to see if the battery is compatible. Though the actual service life of the battery depends on the environment under which it is used, you can expect to be able to recharge it about 500 times before it needs replacement. Charging the battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or radio. Dirty charger contacts and/or battery terminals can make proper charging impossible. Be sure to wipe contacts and terminals occasionally with a dry cloth to keep them clean.

Specifying the Recording Mode
Your CASIO digital camera has nine recording modes, each of which is described below. Before recording an image, use the mode dial to select the recording mode that suits the type of image you are trying to record.
Snapshot mode BEST SHOT mode Aperture Priority AE mode Shutter Speed Priority AE mode Manual Exposure mode Past Movie mode
Short Movie mode MOVIE BEST SHOT mode Movie mode PLAY mode
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING (Short Movie mode) Each press of the shutter button in this mode records a short movie that starts before the button is pressed and ends after the button is pressed (page 108). (MOVIE BEST SHOT mode) This mode makes camera setup as easy as selecting the applicable sample scene. Select one of the MOVIE BEST SHOT scenes and the camera automatically configures itself with the setup for that scene (page 111). (Movie mode) Use this mode for general movie recording (page 106). NOTE The icon of the currently selected recording mode (like for the Snapshot mode) is displayed on the monitor screen.

Aiming the Camera
Use both hands to hold the camera still when shooting an image. Holding the camera with one hand increases the chance of movement, which can blur your images. Horizontal Hold the camera still in both hands, with your arms firmly against your sides.
IMPORTANT! Make sure your fingers and the strap do not block the flash, stereo microphones or lens.

Flash Stereo microphones

Vertical NOTE Moving the camera as you press the shutter button or while the Auto Focus operation is being performed (when you press the shutter button half way) can cause blurring of the image. Press the shutter button carefully, taking care to avoid camera movement. This is especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter speed.
Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the cameras built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera. When an optionally available SD memory card or MultiMediaCard (MMC) is loaded in the camera, images are stored on the card (page 166). After purchasing a memory card, be sure to load it into the camera and format it before trying to use it (page 169).

The flash unit may not be able to charge when camera battery power is low. If this happens, the flash will not fire properly and you will not be able to obtain the desired exposure. Be sure to charge the cameras battery as soon as possible when power goes low. When the flash is turned off ( ), mount the camera on a tripod to record images in an area where available lighting is dim. Recording images under dim lighting without the flash can cause digital noise, which makes images appear coarse. When red-eye reduction ( ) is selected, flash intensity is adjusted automatically in accordance with the exposure. The flash may not fire at all when the subject is brightly lit. Using flash in combination with another light source (daylight, fluorescent light, etc.) can result in abnormal image colors.

Using the Self-timer

The self-timer lets you select either a 2-second or 10second delay of the shutter release after you press the shutter button. A Triple Self-timer feature lets you perform three consecutive self-timer operations to record three images.
To do this: Specify a 10-second self-timer Specify a 2-second self-timer Specify Triple Self-timer Disable the self-timer

Select this setting:

10 sec 2 sec X3
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Use [] and [] to select the REC tab. 3. Use [] and [] to select Self-timer, and
This causes an indicator identifying the selected self-timer type to appear on the monitor screen. With the Triple Self-timer, the camera records a series of three images in the sequence described below.
4. Use [] and [] to select the self-timer type
you want to use, and then press [SET].
Selecting Off in step 4 disables the self-timer.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING 1. The camera performs a 10-second countdown and then records the first image. 2. The camera prepares to record the next image. The amount of time required for preparation depends on the cameras current Size and Quality settings, the type of memory (built-in or card) you are using for image storage, and whether or not the flash is charging. 3. After preparation is complete, the indicator 1sec appears on the monitor screen, and another image is recorded one second later. 4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated once more to record the third image.

5. Record the image.

Select this setting: Auto
select White Balance, and then press [].
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS NOTE When Auto is selected for the white balance setting, the camera automatically determines the white point of the subject. Certain subject colors and light source conditions can cause problems when the camera tries to determine the white point, which makes proper white balance adjustment impossible. When this happens, use daylight, cloudy, or one of the other fixed white balance settings to specify the type of lighting available. You can use the key customization feature (page 125) to configure the camera so the white balance setting changes whenever you press [] or [] while in a REC mode. If you have key customization configured to control white balance and you have Icon Help turned on (page 124), select AWB Auto WB to change the white balance mode to auto.
Configuring the White Balance Setting Manually
Certain complex light sources or other environmental conditions can make it impossible to obtain good results when Auto or one of the fixed light source settings is selected for white balance. Manual white balance lets you configure the camera for a particular light source and other conditions. Note that you must perform manual white balance under the same conditions you will be shooting under. Have a sheet of white paper on hand before starting the following procedure.
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select a REC tab, select White Balance,

select Manual.

This causes the object you last used to adjust manual white balance to appear on the monitor screen. If you want to use the same settings you configured during a previous manual white balance setting operation, skip step 4 and perform step 5.
This starts the white balance adjustment procedure. The message Complete appears on the monitor screen after white balance adjustment is complete.

5. Press [SET].

This registers the white balance settings and returns to the currently selected recording mode. NOTE After you adjust white balance manually, the setting remains in effect until you change it or until you turn off the camera.

Instant Movie Setups (MOVIE BEST SHOT Mode)
Selecting one of the MOVIE BEST SHOT sample scenes automatically sets up the camera for recording a similar type of movie.
This enters the MOVIE BEST SHOT Mode and causes to appear on the monitor screen.
If you want to change to a different sample scene at this point, press [SET] again. Pressing [SET] also displays the currently selected scene.
3. Point the camera at the subject and then
4. To stop movie recording, press the shutter
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! MOVIE BEST SHOT scenes were not recorded using this camera. They are provided as samples only. Images recorded using a MOVIE BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected due to shooting conditions and other factors. You can change the camera settings that are made when you select a MOVIE BEST SHOT scene. Note, however, that the MOVIE BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when you select another MOVIE BEST SHOT scene, change the recording mode, or turn off the camera. If you want to save your settings for later use, save them as a MOVIE BEST SHOT user setup. NOTE Turning on the camera while it is in the MOVIE BEST SHOT Mode will cause operation guidance and the currently selected sample scene to appear on the monitor screen for about two seconds.
Creating Your Own MOVIE BEST SHOT Setup
You can use the procedure below to save the setup of a movie you recorded as a MOVIE BEST SHOT scene. After that, you can recall the setup whenever you want to use it.
This enters the MOVIE BEST SHOT Mode and displays a sample scene.
2. Use [] and [] to display Register User

Scene.

3. Press [SET]. 4. Use [] and [] to display the movie whose

setup you want to save.

The normal MOVIE BEST SHOT screen will reappear after the save operation is complete. Now you can use the procedure on page 111 to select your user setup for recording.
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! When selecting a user setup, scroll to the end of the built-in MOVIE BEST SHOT scenes until Recall User Scene appears on the display. Then scroll further to see the user setup scenes. Formatting the cameras built-in memory (page 165) deletes all user MOVIE BEST SHOT setups.

Date Printing

Any one of the procedures described below can be used to include the recording date in image prints. Correct date printing requires that the current date be set on the camera before the image is recorded. Specifying date printing with DPOF settings (page 174) Some printers may have settings that disable time stamp and/or DPOF printing. See the user documentation that comes with your printer for details about how to enable these features. Note that some professional print services do not support DPOF printing. Check with your service before ordering prints. Specifying date printing with the Photohands software that comes with the camera See page 23 of the Photohands Users Guide for details. The Photohands Users Guide is provided as a PDF file on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with your camera. Specifying date printing when having printing done by a print service Some print services do not support date printing. Check with your service for more information.

I Printing Precautions

See the documentation that comes with your printer for information about print quality and paper settings. Contact your printer manufacturer for information about models that support PictBridge upgrades, etc. Never disconnect the USB cable, or perform any camera operation while printing is in progress. Doing so causes a printer error.

PRINT Image Matching III
