Quick Start Basics

Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to make recording of digital images easier, including the following three main functions.

Premium Auto

Select Premium Auto recording and the camera automatically determines whether you are shooting a subject or scenery, and other conditions. Premium Auto delivers higher image quality than standard Auto.

See page 24 for more information.

HDR Art

An HDR Art feature combines different parts of a burst of images shot with different exposures into a final image and performs high-precision image analysis to produce final images that are true works of art.

See page 66 for more information.

Advanced Dynamic Photo

Extract people or objects out of images you shoot and insert them into another snapshot or movie (background). You can even insert a moving subject to create true Dynamic Photo images.

See page 111 for more information.

First, charge the battery prior to use.

Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps under "To charge the battery” to bring the battery to a full charge.

Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-130) for power. Never try to use any other type of battery.

To charge the battery

Aligning the positive and negative terminals of the battery with those of the charger unit, load the battery into the charger unit.
Plug the charger unit into a household power outlet. About 240 minutes are required to reach full charge. The [CHARGE] lamp will go out when charging is complete. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and then remove the battery from the charger.

Lamp Status	Description
Lit Red	Charging
Flashing Red	Abnormal ambient temperature, charger problem, or battery problem (page 158)
Off	Charging complete

Other Charging Precautions

Use the special charger (BC-130L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-130). Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in unexpected accident.
A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery time to cool before charging it.
A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to use it.
Charging the camera's 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.
Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

To load the battery

Open the battery cover. Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN and then open it as indicated by the arrows in the illustration.
Load the battery. With the EXILIM logo on the battery facing downwards (in the direction of the lens), hold the stopper next to the battery in the direction indicated by the arrow as you slide the battery into the camera. Press the battery in until the stopper secures it in place.
Close the battery cover. Close the battery cover and then shift the slider towards LOCK.

To replace the battery

Open the battery cover and remove the current battery. With the monitor screen side of the camera facing upwards, slide the stopper in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration. After the battery pops out, pull it the rest of the way out of the camera.
Load a new battery.

Checking Remaining Battery Power

As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates remaining power as shown below.

Remaining Power	High				Low
Battery Indicator	Cyan	Amber	Red	Red
Indicator Color

indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.

Recording is not possible when is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.

The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the REC mode and PLAY mode.
Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 145).
See page 178 for information about battery life and number of shots.

Battery Power Conservation Tips

Entering the "ECO Mode” enables low-power operation (page 17).
When you do not need to use the flash, select (Flash Off) for the flash setting (page 38).
Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 147, 147).
Select "Off" for "Continuous AF” (page 77).

Enabling Power Saving (ECO Mode)

Enabling power saving reduces the brightness of the monitor screen and switches other camera operations to low-power operation, which allows a charge to last longer and increase the number of images that can be shot between charges.

The "ECO Mode” can be enabled only while Auto is selected as the recording mode (page 32).

1. Press [ECO].

This enters the "ECO Mode", which is indicated by Eco on the monitor screen.
Each press of [ECO] toggles the "ECO Mode" between on and off.

NOTE

Changing the mode dial setting while the "ECO Mode" is "On" will turn the "ECO Mode" "Off" automatically and change the recording mode to the current mode dial selection.
You can achieve even greater power savings by using the "ECO Mode" in combination with Auto Power Off (page 147) and Sleep (page 147).

Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the Camera

The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.

IMPORTANT!

A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under "Specifying the Display Language (Language)” (page 146). Note that a version of this manual in the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the Japanese market.
Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language selection.

1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the camera.

2. Use [▲], [], [], and [] to select the language you want and then press [SET].

3. Use [▲] and [▼] to select a date style and then press [SET].

4. Set the date and the time.

Use [] and [▷] to select the setting you want to change and then use [▲] and [▼] to change it. To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press [●] (Movie).

5. After setting the date and time, use [◀] and [▷] to select "Apply" and then press [SET].

If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct the settings.

Display language: Page 146
Date and time: Page 145

NOTE

Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they are subject to change.
Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults. Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.

Preparing a Memory Card

Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images and movies recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images and movies are saved to built-in memory.

For information about memory card capacities, see page 174.

Supported Memory Cards

SD Memory Card (Up to 2GB)
SDHC Memory Card (2GB to 32GB)
SDXC Memory Card (32GB to 2TB)

Use one of the above types of memory card.

The above are supported memory card types as of February 2012.
Noted memory card capacities are standard values.
Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card Association specification.
This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards.

To load a memory card

Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera and then open the battery cover. Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN and then open it as indicated by the arrows in the illustration.
Load a memory card. Positioning the memory card so its front is facing upwards (towards the monitor screen side of the camera), slide it into the card slot all the way in until you hear it click securely into place.
Close the battery cover. Close the battery cover and then shift the slider towards LOCK.

IMPORTANT!

Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 19) into the memory card slot.
Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO authorized service center.

To replace the memory card

Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert another one.

Never remove a card from the camera while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

Before using a memory card for the first time with the camera, you must format it.

IMPORTANT!

Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format the card.
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, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc.
Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

1. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

2. Select the "Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press >].

3. Use [▲] and [▼] to select "Format” and then press [SET].

Turning the Camera On and Off

To turn power on

Pressing [ON/OFF] (Power) enters the REC mode so you can record images. Pressing [◉] (PLAY) while in the REC mode enters the PLAY mode, which you can use to view snapshots and movies (pages 28, 89). Pressing [O] (REC) while in the PLAY mode returns to the REC mode.

Take care to ensure that nothing is restricting or coming into contact with the lens as it extends. Holding the lens with your hand so it cannot extend creates the risk of malfunction.
About 10 seconds after you press ]] (PLAY) to enter the PLAY mode, the lens will retract into the camera.
The Sleep function or Auto Power Off (pages 147, 147) will turn off power automatically if you do not perform any operation for a preset amount of time.

To turn off the camera

Press [ON/OFF] (Power).

NOTE

You also can configure the camera to turn on or off when you press [O] (REC) or (PLAY) (page 148).

Troubleshooting and error codes

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 16). 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.
