*CAUTION . Rechargeable Battery • If battery charging does not end normally within the specified charging time, stop charging anyway and contact your local CASIO authorized service center. Continued charging creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion. • Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the camera and special charger unit before using or charging the battery. • Store batteries in a location that cannot be reached by infants and young children.
*CAUTION . Monitor Screen • Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD panel surface or subject it to strong impact. Doing so can cause the display panel glass to crack and lead to personal injury. • Should the monitor screen ever become cracked, never touch any of the liquid inside the monitor screen. Doing so creates the risk of skin inflammation. • Should monitor screen liquid ever get into your mouth, immediately rinse your mouth out and contact your physician.
*CAUTION . Transport • When in an aircraft or medical facility, comply with instructions of personnel in charge. Electromagnetic waves and other signals emitted by the camera can adversely affect other equipment. . Camera Jacket + - • When wearing the strap around your neck, the camera can unexpectedly bump into objects, fall, or become caught in a door, creating the risk of malfunction or personal injury. Hold the camera in your hand or take other precautions to avoid such problems.
Precautions During Use . Data Error Precautions Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.
. 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 lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. . Caring for your camera • Never touch the lens or flash window with your fingers.
. Copyrights Except for your own personal enjoyment, unauthorized use of snapshots or movies of images whose rights belong to others, without the permission of the right holder, is forbidden by copyright laws. In some cases, shooting of public performances, shows, exhibitions, etc. may be restricted entirely, even if it is for your own personal enjoyment.
Power Supply Charging . If the camera’s back lamp starts flashing red... If the back lamp starts flashing red during charging, it means that further charging is not possible for one of the reasons below. Perform the actions described below to correct the problem and then try charging again.
Battery Precautions . Precautions during Use • Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera. • Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 15°C to 35°C (59°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or even fail. • Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
Using a Memory Card See page 28 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a memory card. . Using a Memory Card • SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the Write enabled switch when you need to guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card you must then turn write protection Write disabled off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the Camera The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to another party.
Reset Initial Default Settings The tables in this section show the initial default settings that are configured for menu items (displayed when you press [MENU]) after you reset the camera (page 172). Menu items depend on whether the camera is in the REC mode or PLAY mode. • A dash (–) indicates an item whose setting is not reset or an item for which there is no reset setting. IMPORTANT! • Depending on the recording mode, some of the items on the menu that appears may not be usable. .

Using the On-screen Histogram to Check Exposure (+Histogram) Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the exposure levels of images. Histogram NOTE • 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.
Example Histograms A histogram towards the left side 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. A histogram towards the right side 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. An overall well-balanced histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness.
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 20). 2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 22). 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-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 54). 2)If the battery is low, charge it (page 22).
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 26). 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 Playback The color of the playback image is different from what appears on the monitor screen when shooting. Sunlight or light from another source may be shining directly into the lens when you are shooting. Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens. Images are not displayed. This camera cannot display non-DCF images recorded onto a memory card using another digital camera.
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action Language selection 1)You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the screen appears camera or the camera may have been left with a dead when the camera is battery. Configure the correct settings (pages 27, 170). turned on. 2)There may be a problem with the camera’s memory data. If this is the case, perform the reset operation to initialize the camera’s setup (page 172). After that, configure each setting.
Display Messages ALERT The camera’s protection function may have activated because camera temperature is too high. Turn off the camera and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again. Battery is low. Battery power is low. Can not find the file. The image you specified with the slideshow “Images” setting cannot be found. Change the “Images” setting (page 128) and try again. There is something wrong with the memory card.
Memory Full Memory is full with images you recorded and/or files saved by editing operations. When shooting with Prerecord CS, this message indicates that there is not enough memory capacity to record all of the pre-recorded images. Delete files you no longer need (page 38). Printing Error An error occurred while printing. • The printer is turned off. • The printer generated an error, etc. Record Error Image compression could not be performed for some reason during image data recording.
