Quick Start Basics What you can do with your CASIO camera Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to make recording of digital images easier, including the following main functions. 180 degrees Tiltable Monitor Screen The camera’s monitor screen can be tiled upwards up to 180 degrees. This makes it easy to compose self-portraits and to shoot from low angles. 90 degrees *See page 19 for more information.
Premium Auto Pro Select Premium Auto Pro recording and the camera automatically determines whether you are shooting a subject or scenery, and other conditions. Premium Auto Pro delivers higher image quality than standard Auto. *See page 35 for more information. High Speed Movie Movies can be recorded at up to 1000 frames per second. This makes it possible to clearly view phenomena that are invisible to the human eye, in slow motion. *See page 75 for more information.
Tilting the Monitor Screen The monitor screen can be tilted upwards up to 180 degrees. This means you can position the monitor screen so it faces in the same direction as the lens, for easy composition of self-portraits.

The maximum zoom factor depends on the image size setting and the digital zoom on/off settings. Optical zoom Zooming is performed by changing the lens focal distance, so there is no deterioration of image quality. HD Zoom Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the original image and enlarging it, without deterioration of image quality.
NOTE • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera movement when shooting with telephoto. • Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture. • Zoom operations are supported during movie recording.

Single SR Zoom uses super resolution to expand the zoom range in which image quality deterioration is minimized. Multi SR Zoom shoots a series of High Speed CS images, which are then combined into an image that enables shooting at higher zoom ratios without loss of image quality.
Expanding the Zoom Range to Shoot Clearer Snapshots (Multi SR Zoom) This feature uses super resolution technology and multiple Continuous Shutter (CS) images to expand the zoom range for overall images of higher quality and clarity (page 63). 1. Align the mode dial with [j] (Multi SR Zoom). 2. Press the shutter button to shoot. NOTE • Multi SR Zoom is effective when you want to capture delicate textures. • The following functions are disabled when shooting with Multi SR Zoom.

When things don’t go right... Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action Power Supply Power does not turn on. 1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 22). 2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 24). If the battery goes dead soon after being charged, it means the battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-130A or NP-130 rechargeable lithium ion battery. The camera suddenly powers down.
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action The subject is out of focus in the recorded image. The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame. The flash does not fire. 1)If ? (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 56). 2)If the battery is low, charge it (page 24).
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action A recorded image was not saved. 1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. If the battery indicator shows , charge the battery as soon as possible (page 28). 2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card before the save operation is complete.
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action The monitor screen goes blank and camera operation becomes disabled. Selecting S or M for the recording mode and using a slow shutter speed will cause the monitor screen to go blank during the period from when the shutter button is pressed until image recording is complete. Camera operations are disabled during this time. Wait until the back lamp goes out and an image appears on the monitor screen again. I can’t change the settings of menu items.
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action The messages on the display are in the wrong language. The wrong display language is selected. Change the display language setting (page 179). Images cannot be transferred over a USB connection. 1)The USB cable may not be connected securely. Check all connections. 2)If the camera is not turned on, turn it on. 3)Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera if you connect via a USB hub. Always connect directly to the computer’s USB port.
