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 main functions:
- Wireless Connection: Turns your smartphone into a camera remote controller and allows you to send images recorded with your camera to your smartphone. (See page 143)
- 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. (See page 17)
- Motion Shutter: You can control operation of the self-timer from a distance by waving your hand, which makes it easier to shoot self-portraits from a distance. (See page 61)
- Selfie Art: This function lets you select a scene and shoot selfies with various art effects applied. (See page 67)
- Time Lapse Movie: You can use this function to record movies of natural events that occur over time, to speed up the flow of traffic in a city scene, or to record other similar types of movies. (See page 76)
- Make-up Bracketing (Make-up BKT): Lets you shoot three versions of the same image with the press of the shutter button, each with a different Skin Tone setting. (See page 82)
- Art Shot: A variety of artistic effects help to make even common, ordinary subjects become more novel and exciting. (See page 64)
- Premium Auto Pro: Selects settings automatically for subjects or scenery and conditions, delivering higher image quality than standard Auto. (See page 31)
- Quick Collage: Combines multiple snapshots into a single collage image. (See page 129)
