I Caring for your camera

Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth. Fingerprints, dirt, and other foreign matter on the flash can interfere with proper operation of the camera. Avoid touching the flash. If the flash becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

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.

I Other

The camera may become slightly warm during use. This does not indicate malfunction.

(Anti Shake indicator) is displayed on the monitor screen while Anti Shake is turned on. IMPORTANT! Anti Shake is disabled automatically when any setting other than Auto is selected for ISO sensitivity. If you want Anti Shake to be operational after turning it on, be sure to change the ISO sensitivity setting to Auto (page 142). Recording with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution. The Anti Shake feature may not be able to eliminate the effects of hand or subject movement when shaking is severe. The Anti Shake feature may not work when using a very low shutter speed. If this happens, use a tripod to stabilize the camera. Though (Anti Shake) is displayed on the monitor screen while the flash setting is Auto Flash, Flash On, or Soft Flash, Anti Shake is disabled. While recording with Anti Shake, the maximum digital zoom factor is 4X (page 65).

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 137) to configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [] or [] while in a REC mode. If you do this, you can adjust exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen histogram (page 88). 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. The RGB (color component) histogram is displayed for snapshots only. In the following modes, only the luminance distribution histogram appears on the monitor screen. Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT mode

Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to record a movie using the HQ image quality setting. Because of this, use of an SD memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended. 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. SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files. Electrostatic charge, digital noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Always maintain backup copies of important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.)
You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a commercially available memory card (SD memory card or MultiMediaCard). You can also copy files from built-in memory to a memory card and from a built-in memory card to built-in memory. Normally, files are stored in built-in memory. When you insert a memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card. Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is installed in the camera. IMPORTANT! Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used. See the instructions that come with the memory card for information about how to use it.

Using a Memory Card

IMPORTANT! Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card. Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.

2. Positioning the

memory card so its front is facing in the same direction as the cameras monitor screen, carefully slide it into the card slot. Slide the card all the way in until you hear it click securely into place.

Front Back

To insert a memory card into the camera
1. Slide the battery cover
in the direction indicated by the arrow, and then swing it open.
3. Swing the battery cover
closed, and then slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow.
To replace the memory card
IMPORTANT! Never try to insert anything that is not an SD memory card or MMC (MultiMediaCard) into the cameras memory card slot. Doing so can cause malfunction of the camera. Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Never remove a card from the camera while the green operation lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause the file save operation to fail, and even damage the memory card. Certain types of memory cards or camera conditions can cause the format operation to take considerable time.

1. Press the memory

card into the camera and then release it. This will cause the card to come part way out of the camera.
2. Pull the memory card out of the slot. 3. Load another memory card.

Formatting a Memory Card

Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored on it. IMPORTANT! Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the camera. In the case of an SD card, formatting on a computer can result in nonconformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc. Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you do not need any of the data on the memory card before you format it. Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes all the files, even those that are protected (page 186).
