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 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 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 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. At least once a year, unplug the AC 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 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 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.
I 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.

I Data Error Precautions

Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the following creates the risk of corruption of data in file memory. Removing the battery or memory card while the camera is performing a record or memory access operation Removing the battery, removing the memory card while the operation lamp is still flashing green after you turn off the camera Disconnecting the USB cable while a data communication operation is being performed Low battery power Other abnormal operations Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor screen (page 232). Follow the instructions provided by the message to eliminate the cause of the error.

I Operating conditions

This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0C to 40C (32F to 104F). Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas. In areas subject to direct sunlight In areas subject to high humidity or dust Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to temperature extremes Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun In areas subject to strong vibration

I Power Supply

Use only the special NP-20 rechargeable lithium ion battery to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported. This camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time will reset whenever the camera is not supplied power by the battery for about 30 hours. Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted (page 163). Never remove the battery from the camera while the camera is turned on. Doing so can damage the camera. If you mistakenly remove the battery, immediately reinsert it into the camera and press the power button to turn power back on.

I Condensation

When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation. To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the new location. If condensation does form, remove the battery from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a few hours.

I Lens

Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction. You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

Attaching the Strap

Attach the strap to the strap ring as shown in the illustration.

Strap ring

IMPORTANT! Be sure to keep the strap around your wrist when using the camera to protect against accidentally dropping it. The supplied strap is intended for use with this camera only. Do not use it for any other purpose. Never swing the camera around by the strap.

Power Requirements

Your camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-20). The battery is not fully charged when you use the camera for the first time after purchasing it. You need to charge the battery before using the camera for the first time.

To charge the battery

1. Correctly positioning the positive and
negative terminals of the battery, load the lithium ion battery into the battery charger.
Making sure that the positive and negative contacts are aligned correctly, load the battery into the battery charger. Note that the battery will not charge properly if it is not positioned correctly in the battery charger.
2. Plug the battery charger into a household

power outlet.

This will cause the [CHARGE] lamp to turn red. Charging will take about 90 minutes.
[CHARGE] lamp Battery Charger
NOTE The bundled battery charger is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. This means the battery charger can be used in various countries around the world. Note, however, that there may be some problems with the AC power cord withstand voltage and with the configuration of power outlet shapes in certain geographic areas. Before trying to use the battery charger in another country, be sure to check with your travel agent concerning the local power supply.

AC power cord

3. The [CHARGE] lamp goes out when charging

is complete.

IMPORTANT! If the battery or battery charger is very hot or cold when you start charging or if it becomes hot during charging, the battery charger will enter a standby state, which is indicated when its [CHARGE] lamp goes out. 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. 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.

Flash Self-timer lamp

This section describes the basic procedure for recording an image.

Recording an Image

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.

Microphone

Vertical
When holding the camera vertically, make sure that the flash is above the lens. Hold the camera still with both hands.
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING There is a speaker on the bottom of the camera. The operation sound and other sounds can become difficult to hear if you cover the speaker with your hand while holding it.

Specifying Image Quality

Compressing an image before storage can cause a deterioration of its quality. The more an image is compressed, the greater the loss of quality. The image quality setting specifies the compression ratio to be used when an image is stored in memory. You can select an image quality setting to suit your needs for higher quality or smaller file size. Note that this setting is valid for snapshots only. For information about movie image quality, see page 103.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Use [] and [] to select the Quality tab. 3. Use [] and [] to select
then press []. Quality, and
To get this: High image quality, large file size Normal image quality and normal file size Low image quality, small file size Select this setting: Fine Normal Economy Lower Quality Higher Quality
IMPORTANT! Actual file size depends on the type of image you record. This means that the remaining image capacity noted on the monitor screen may not be exactly accurate (pages 26, 234).
This causes the focus mode indicator to appear on the display.

Focus mode indicator

Selecting the Focus Mode
You can select one of five different focus modes: Auto Focus, Macro, Pan Focus, Infinity, and Manual Focus.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select the REC tab, select Focus, and
To do this: Adjusts focus automatically Auto Focus cannot be selected during movie recording. Close-up recording During movie recording, Macro mode uses fixed focus that is optimized for macro recording. Focus adjusted on a certain subject distance Infinity recording Manual focus recording Select this setting: (Auto Focus)
IMPORTANT! You can use the key customization feature (page 112) to switch the focus mode whenever you press [] or [] while recording a snapshot or movie.

Macro (Close-up)

(Pan Focus) (Infinity) (Manual Focus)

Using Auto Focus

As its name suggests, Auto Focus focuses the image automatically. The automatic focus operation starts when you press the shutter button down half way. The following is the Auto Focus range. Range: 40cm to (1.3 to ) Using optical zoom causes the above range to change.

ISO50 F3.1 1/1000 1000

When you see this: Green focus frame Green operation lamp Red focus frame Flashing green operation lamp It means this: The image is focused. The image is not focused.
3. Use [] and [] to select

, and then

5. Press the shutter button the rest of the way to

record the image.

4. Compose the image so the main subject is
within the focus frame, and then press the shutter button half way.
You can tell whether the image is focused by observing the focus frame and the operation lamp.
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS NOTE When proper focusing is not possible because the subject is closer than the Auto Focus range, the camera automatically switches to the Macro mode range (page 78). Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation (page 59) while recording with Auto Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen as shown below to tell you the focusing range. Example: AF cm -

1. Using the monitor

screen, compose the image so the main subject is within the focus frame, and then press the shutter button half way.
This locks the focus on the subject that is currently within the focus frame.

Main subject

2. Keeping the shutter
button pressed half way down, recompose the image as you like.
Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)
Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure setting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your subject. This feature helps to achieve better results when recording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, or a subject that is against a dark background. EV Shift Range: 2.0EV to +2.0EV Steps: 1/3EV
3. When the image is composed the way you
want, press the shutter button the rest of the way to record it.
The focus and image recording operations are identical to those in the Auto Focus mode. NOTE Locking the focus also locks the exposure.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select the Quality
tab, select EV Shift, and then press [].
Exposure compensation value
change the exposure compensation value, and then press [SET].
Pressing [SET] registers the displayed value.

EV value

To cancel EV Shift, adjust the value until it becomes 0.0.
IMPORTANT! When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation. NOTE Performing an EV shift operation while using multipattern metering (page 118) will cause the metering mode to switch automatically to center weighted metering. Returning the EV shift value to 0.0 causes the metering mode to change back to multi-pattern metering. You can use key customization (page 112) to configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [] or [] while in the REC mode. This comes in handy when adjusting exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram (page 109).
[] : Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlight subjects.
[] : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

Recording time

I Movie Recording Precautions
This camera also records audio. Note the following points when recording a movie. Take care that you do not block the microphone with your fingers. Good recording results are not possible when the camera is too far from the subject. Microphone Operating camera buttons during recording can cause button noise to be included in the audio. Movie audio is recorded in monaural. Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD phenomenon known as vertical smear, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.
The movie recording capacity of built-in memory is very small. Use of a memory card (page 171) is recommended when recording movies. Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data, which can cause movie frames to be dropped. and REC flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of an SD memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended. 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 the shutter button to start movie recording (page 102). The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you record close ups or recording with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended when recording close ups or recording with a large zoom factor. Images may be out of focus if the subject is outside the shooting range of the camera. Macro uses fixed focus that is optimized for macro recording.

Recording Audio

1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select the REC tab, select Audio Snap,
Adding Audio to a Snapshot
You can add audio to a snapshot after you record it. Image Format: JPEG JPEG is an image format that provides efficient data compression. The file extension of a JPEG file is.JPG. Audio Format: WAVE/ADPCM recording format This is the Windows standard format for audio recording. The file extension of a WAVE/ADPCM file is.WAV. Recording Time: Up to about 30 seconds per image Audio File Size: Approximately 165KB (30-second recording of approximately 5.5KB per second) NOTE You can play back an audio file recorded in the Audio Snapshot mode on your computer using Windows Media Player.

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. You can use the histogram to determine whether an image includes the shadowing (left side), mid tones (center), and highlighting (right) required to bring out sufficient image detail. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift (exposure compensation) to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by correcting exposure so the graph is as close to the center as possible.
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS An RGB histogram that shows the distribution of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) components is also displayed. This histogram can be used to determine whether there is too much or too little of each of the color components in an image. NOTE You can use key customization (page 112) to configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [] or [] while in the REC mode. If you do this, you can adjust exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram (page 82). When the histogram is too far to the left, it means that there are too many dark pixels. This type of histogram results when the overall image is dark. A histogram that is too far to the left may result in black out of the dark areas of an image.
When the histogram is too far to the right, it means that there are too many light pixels. This type of histogram results when the overall image is light. A histogram that is too far to the right may result in white out of the light areas of an image.
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS A centered histogram indicates that there is good distribution of light pixels and dark pixels. This type of histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness. IMPORTANT! Note that the above histograms are shown for illustrative purposes only. You may not be able to achieve exactly the same shapes for particular subjects. A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its histogram is centered. You may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration due to the limitations of EV shift. Use of the flash as well as certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it was recorded. The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed for snapshots only.

REC Mode Camera Settings

The following are the settings you can configure before recording an image using the REC mode. L/R key setting (key customization) Grid on/off Image Review on/off Icon Help on/off Power on default settings ISO sensitivity Metering Filter Sharpness Saturation Contrast Timestamp Resetting the camera

Specifying ISO Sensitivity
You can change the ISO sensitivity setting for better images in places where lighting is dim or when you are using faster shutter speeds. ISO sensitivity is expressed in terms of values that originally indicated the sensitivity to light for photographic film. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for recording when available lighting is dim.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select the Quality tab, select ISO, and
3. Use [] and [] to select the setting you want

and then press [SET].

To get this: Automatic sensitivity selection Lower sensitivity Select this setting: Auto ISO 50 ISO 100 ISO 200 Higher sensitivity ISO 400
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise (graininess), which makes an image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images, use the lowest ISO sensitivity setting possible. Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in improper illumination of the subject. Auto ISO sensitivity always is used for movie recording, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting. NOTE You can use the key customization feature (page 112) to configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting changes whenever you press [] and [] while in the REC mode.
Selecting the Metering Mode
The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure. You can use the following procedure to change the cameras metering mode.
1. In the REC mode, press [MENU]. 2. Select the Quality tab, select Metering,
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Multi (Multi pattern) Multi (Multi pattern) metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions. Center Weighted Center weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center of the focus area. Use this metering method when you want to exert some control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera. Spot Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering method when you want exposure to be set according to the brightness of a particular subject, without it being affected by surrounding conditions. IMPORTANT! When Multi is selected as the metering mode, certain procedures cause the metering mode setting to change automatically as described below. Changing the exposure compensation setting (page 82) to a value other than 0.0 changes the metering mode setting to Center Weighted. The metering mode changes back to Multi when you return the exposure compensation setting to 0.0. When Multi is selected, the icon is not displayed when you return to the REC mode information display (page 26).

3. Use [], [], [], and [] to change the
setting, and then press [SET].
Changing the USB Port Protocol
You can use the procedure below to change the communication protocol of the cameras USB port when connecting to a computer, printer, or other external device. Select the protocol that suits the device to which you are connecting.
Mass Storage (USB DIRECT-PRINT) causes the camera to see the computer as an external storage device. Use this setting for normal transfer of images from the camera to a computer (using the bundled Photo Loader application). PTP (PictBridge) simplifies the transfer of image data to the connected device.
