Failure to observe any of the following precautions while using the battery creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion. Never use any other type of charger except the optional charger specified for the battery. Never try to use the battery to power any device other than this camera. Never use or leave the battery near open flame. Never place the battery in a microwave oven, throw it into fire, or otherwise expose it to intense heat. Make sure the battery is oriented correctly when you load it into the camera or attach it to the optional charger. Never carry or store the battery together with items that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead, etc.) Never try to take the battery apart, modify it in any way, or expose it to strong impact. Do not immerse the battery in fresh water or salt water. Do not use or leave the battery under direct sunlight, in an automobile parked in the sun, or in any other area subject to high temperatures.
GETTING READY Should you ever notice any of the following conditions while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately remove it from the camera or charger, and keep it away from open flame: Fluid leaking Emission of a strange odor Heat emission Battery discoloration Battery deformation Any other battery abnormality If the battery does not achieve full charge after the normal charging time has passed, stop charging. Continued charging creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion. Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse them with clean tap water and then consult a physician. Be sure to read page 33 of this Users Guide and the instructions that come with the optional charger before using or charging the battery. If the battery is to be used by young children, make sure that a responsible adult makes them aware of the precautions and proper handling instructions and make sure that they handle the battery correctly. Should fluid from the battery accidentally get onto clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can cause skin irritation. 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 to charge the battery. Never use any other type of charger for charging. 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.

To do this: Zoom out Zoom in
Press this side of the zoom button: (Wide Angle) (Telephoto)
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING NOTE The optical zoom factor also affects the lens aperture. Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against hand movement when using the telephoto setting (zoom in). Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while recording with the Auto Focus mode, Macro mode, or manual focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you the focusing range (pages 72, 75, 77). Optical zoom is disabled during movie recording. Digital zoom only is available. Make sure you select the optical zoom setting you want to use before you press [ ] (MOVIE) to start movie recording (page 97).

Digital Zoom
Digital zoom digitally enlarges the part of the image at the center of the image screen. The range of digital zoom is 3X to 12X (in combination with optical zoom). IMPORTANT! When you perform a digital zoom operation, the camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the original.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS NOTE When the camera is at an angle to the old photograph, one side of the recorded image may appear longer than the side opposite from it. This is called keystoning, which is caused by the difference in distance from the camera lens to each side of the photograph. The side of the photograph that is closer to the camera looks longer and the side further from the camera looks shorter. Auto keystone correction corrects for this distortion, which means that a photograph appears normal even if you record it at an angle.
To restore an old photograph
1. In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT). 2. Use [], [], [], and [] to select Old
Photo, and then press [SET].
This displays a photograph contour confirmation screen, and then saves the original recorded image. An error message will appear (page 237), without displaying the photograph contour confirmation screen, if the camera is unable to find the contour of the photograph.
4. Use [] and [] to select the contour
candidate you want to correct.
7. Use [], [], [], and [] to move the
cropping boundary to the location you want, and then press [SET].

select Trim, and then press [SET].
This displays a cropping boundary on the monitor screen. If you do not want to crop the image, select Cancel to store the image.
6. Use the zoom button to make the cropping
boundary larger or smaller.
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! Digital zoom is disabled while recording an old photograph. However, you can use optical zoom. The camera will not be able to recognize an old photograph in the following cases. When part of the photograph extends outside of the monitor screen When the old photograph is the same color as the background it is placed upon The maximum size when recording an old photograph is pixels, even if the camera is configured for a larger image size. When the camera is configured to record images smaller than pixels, images will be in accordance with the currently specified image size. Under certain conditions, restored colors may not produce the desired results.

PRINTING IMAGES IMPORTANT! DPOF settings are not cleared automatically after printing is complete. This means that if you perform another printing operation without clearing DPOF settings, printing will be performed in accordance with the last settings you configured. If you want to prevent this from happening, perform the procedure under To configure print settings for all images (page 179) and change the number of copies to 00. After that, you can configure new DPOF settings as required. If you take a memory card to a professional print service, be sure to tell them that it includes DPOF settings for the images to be printed and the number of copies. If you dont, the printing service may print all images without regard to your DPOF settings, or date printing may not be performed. Note that some professional print services do not support DPOF printing. Check with your service before ordering prints. Some printers may have settings that disable date stamp and/or DPOF printing. See the user documentation that comes with your printer for details about how to enable these features.
Using PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT
You can connect the camera directly to a printer that supports PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT, and perform image selection and printing using the camera monitor screen and controls. DPOF support (page 177) also lets you specify which images you want to print and how many copies of each should be printed. PictBridge is a standard established by the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA). USB DIRECT-PRINT is a standard proposed by Seiko Epson Corporation.
