Precautions

General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the EX-Z30/EX-Z40. All references in this manual to this camera and the camera refer to the CASIO EX-Z30/EX-Z40 Digital Camera. Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the danger of serious accident. Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized service center. Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the cameras viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight. Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician immediately. Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the drivers vision and create the danger of accident.

INTRODUCTION 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 danger 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 danger 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 danger 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. 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 danger 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 areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an accident. Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure to always keep backup copies of data by transferring them to personal computer memory. Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket while recording images. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file memory.
Test for proper operation before using the camera!
Before using the camera to record important images, make sure you first record a number of test images and check the results to ensure that the camera is configured correctly and operating properly (page 17).

USB Cradle [DC IN 5.3V] AC Adaptor

AC power cord

3. Release the stopper and pull the battery from

the camera.

Take care so you do not drop the battery.
GETTING READY NOTE The bundled AC adaptor 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 AC adaptor 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 comes with the camera, or purchase a commercially available AC power cord that is compatible with the power outlets in that area.

NOTE The AC adaptor is designed for operation on power ranging from 100V AC to 240V AC. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug varies according to country or geographic area. It is up to you to find out if the shape of the AC adaptor power cord plug is compatible with local power outlets when traveling abroad.

GETTING READY G PRECAUTIONS DURING USE The battery is designed for use with this CASIO digital camera only. Use only the USB cradle that comes with the camera or the specified optional charger unit to charge the battery. Never use any other type of charger unit for charging. A new battery is not charged. Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time. Use of a battery in cold environments shortens the operating time you can expect on a full charge. Charge the battery in a location where the temperature is in the range of 10C to 35C (50F to 95F). Charging outside this temperature range can cause charging to take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail. Very limited operation following a full charge indicates that the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one. Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags. Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead to malfunction. G BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Make sure you remove the battery when you do not plan to use the camera for a long time. A battery left in the camera discharges very small amounts of power even when power is turned off, which can lead to a dead battery or the need for longer charging before the next use. Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20C (68 F) or lower). G USING THE BATTERY See page 28 of this manual or the instructions that come with the optional charger unit for information about charging procedures and charging times. When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in the camera or stored in its case.
I USB Cradle and AC Adaptor Precautions
Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the AC adaptor. Doing so can create the danger of fire or electric shock. Use only the bundled AC adaptor specified for this camera. Do not allow the AC adaptor cord to become cut or damaged, do not place heavy objects on it, and keep it away from heat. A damaged power cord creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Never try to modify the AC adaptor cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric shock. Do not overload extension cords or wall outlets. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electric shock. Should the cord of the AC adaptor become damaged (exposed internal wiring), request a replacement from a CASIO authorized service center. A damaged AC adaptor cord creates the danger of fire or electric shock.

At this point, a boundary also appears on the display, indicating the part of the image that will be used for manual focus.

Boundary

2. While watching the
image on the monitor screen, use [] and [] to focus.

Using Focus Lock

Focus lock is a technique you can use to focus on a subject that is not located within the focus frame when you record an image. You can use focus lock in the Auto Focus mode and the Macro mode ( ).

Manual focus position

To do this: Focus in on the subject Focus out on the subject Do this: Press []. Press [].

1. Using the monitor

screen, compose the image so the main subject is within the focus frame, and then press the shutter release button half way.
Pressing [] or [] causes the area inside of the boundary displayed in step 1 to fill the monitor screen momentarily to aid in focus. The normal image reappears a short while later.
3. Press the shutter release button to record the
