delete images a countless number of times.

Play

Record

You can use the images you record in a variety of different ways.

Store images on your

snapshot or movie (background). You can even insert a moving subject to

create true Dynamic Photo images.

Make-up Mode/Landscape Mode

The Landscape Mode makes colors more vivid and

performs other processing that enhances the beauty of

natural scenery.

The Make-up Mode smoothes the skin texture of the subject

and softens facial shadows caused by harsh sunlight for

better looking portraits.

16 Quick Start Basics

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-80) for

power. Never try to use any other type of battery.

1. Positioning the positive + and

negative - terminals of the

battery with those of the charger

unit, load the battery into the

charger unit.

2. Plug the charger unit into a

household power outlet.

About 210 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.

First, charge the battery prior to use.

Other Charging Precautions

• Use the special charger (BC-81L if included with camera, BC-80L if purchased

separately) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-80). 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.

1. Open the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover slider towards

OPEN and then open it as indicated by

the arrows in the illustration.

2. 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.

3. Close the battery cover.

Close the battery cover and then shift the

slider towards LOCK.

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

137).

• See page 170 for information about battery life and memory capacity.

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.

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 recorded

while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card

is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.

• For information about memory card capacities, see page 166.

22 Quick Start Basics

You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.

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

2. Use [8] and [2] to select the second Control Panel option from the

bottom (MENU) and then press [SET] (page 32).

3. Use [4] and [6] to select the “Set Up” tab.

4. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [6].

5. Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].

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 or SDHC 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.

. Pixels

A digital camera image is a collection of small

dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are

in an image, the more detail there will be.

However, you generally can do with fewer

pixels when printing an image (L size) through

a print service, attaching an image to e-mail,

when viewing the image on a computer, etc.

. About image sizes

The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as

horizontal pixelsxvertical pixels.

Image Size Selection Tips

Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.

• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be

stored, see page 166.

• For information about movie image size, see page 75.

• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 97.

Large Number

of Pixels

More detail, but takes up more memory. Best

when you plan to print large-size prints (such

as A3 size).

Small Number

of Pixels

Less detail, but takes up less memory. Best

when you want to send images by e-mail,

etc.

35 Snapshot Tutorial

. To select the image size

1. In the REC mode, press [SET].

2. Use [8] and [2] to select the top Control Panel option (Image Size).

3. Use [4] and [6] to select an image size and then press [SET].

• The initial factory default image size setting is “12M”.

• Selecting “3:2” records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the

standard aspect ratio of print paper.

• The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an

aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of

television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible

with the aspect ratio an HDTV screen.

• You should regard the print paper sizes suggested here as guidelines only (200 dpi

print resolution).

complete.

< indicates the flash will fire.

37 Snapshot Tutorial

NOTE

• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.

• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too

close.

• Flash charging time (page 169) depends on operating conditions (battery

condition, ambient temperature, etc.).

• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,

which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,

secure the camera with a tripod, etc.

• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with

exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.

• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source

can cause abnormal image colors.

• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash

photograph is prohibited.

Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the

eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash

reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash

mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the

image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye. The camera also has an auto

red-eye correction feature that corrects for red-eye in recorded images.

Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.

• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking

directly at the camera (flash).

• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from

the camera.

Super Macro

Super Macro fixes optical zoom at a position that allows you to shoot from the closest

distance to the subject. The result is closer and larger subject images.

NOTE

• Zoom is fixed while Super Macro is selected, so no zoom operation is performed

when you slide the zoom controller.

To focus with manual focus

1. On the monitor screen, compose the image so

the subject you want to focus on is within the

yellow boundary.

2. Watching the image on the monitor screen use

[4] and [6] to adjust focus.

• At this time the image that is within the boundary will

enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids in

focusing. If you do not perform any operation for two

seconds while the enlarged image is displayed, the

screen in step 1 will re-appear.

NOTE

• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and

automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.

• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to

become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.

• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus,

Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell

you the focus range, as shown below.

Example: oo cm to 9

* oo is the actual focusing range value.

IMPORTANT!

• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able

to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure

your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using

continuous shutter.

• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for

successive images as well.

• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is

finished.

• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.

– Some BEST SHOT scenes

– Make-up Mode, Landscape Mode

• The speed of “CS: Normal Speed CS” depends on the type of memory card loaded

in the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting

to built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.

• “CS: Normal Speed CS” speed is slower when shooting with flash.

• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with “CS: Normal Speed CS”,

“CS: 4 fps”, “CS: 10 fps”.

• Note that images recorded with “CS: 4 fps”, “CS: 10 fps” and “CS: Flash” are of

somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded

with “CS: Normal Speed CS”.

• The ISO sensitivity setting always is “Auto” for “CS: 4 fps”, “CS: 10 fps” and

“CS: Flash”, regardless of the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.

• The flash range for Flash CS is narrower than that for normal flash.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the

monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

50 Snapshot Tutorial

Your camera provides you with 10X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal

distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally

processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of

10X to 159.4X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 51).

1. In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.

2. Press the shutter button to shoot the image.

IMPORTANT!

• Digital zoom is disabled while date stamping (page 137) is turned on.

NOTE

• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the

camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image

deterioration (page 51).

• 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.

• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical

zoom setting before you press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.

Shooting with Zoom

w (Wide Angle) : Reduces the size of the subject and broadens the range.

z (Telephoto) : Enlarges the subject and narrows the range.

w z Wide Angle Telephoto Zoom controller

51 Snapshot Tutorial

If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop

when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom

controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital

zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.

• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

• An image deterioration icon (Ù) will appear on the monitor screen at the point

where image deterioration starts.

• The image deterioration point

depends on the image size (page

33). The smaller the image size, the

higher the zoom factor you can use

before reaching the image

deterioration point.

• Though digital zoom generally

causes a deterioration of image

quality, some digital zoom without

image deterioration is possible with

image sizes of “8M” and smaller.

The range in which you can use

digital zoom without image

deterioration is indicated on the

display. The deterioration point

depends on the image size.

53 Recording Movie Images and Audio

NOTE

• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become

slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• The camera also records audio. Note the following points when

shooting a movie.

– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your fingers,

etc.

– Good recording results are not possible when the camera is

too far away from what you are trying to record.

– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button

noise to be picked up in the audio.

• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the

monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

• When using the camera’s built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can

take too much time to record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or

audio. This condition is indicated by » and Y flashing on the monitor screen. To

avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed

of at least 10MB per second is recommended (page 154).

• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical

zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing

[0] (Movie) to start recording.

• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you

shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is

recommended under these conditions.

• Continuous AF is disabled and focus is fixed while movie recording is in progress

(page 67).

59 Using BEST SHOT

. BEST SHOT Precautions

• Some BEST SHOT scenes cannot be used while recording a movie.

• Prerecord Movie scene and For YouTube scene cannot be used while shooting a

snapshot.

• The Voice Recording scene cannot be used while shooting a snapshot or recording

a movie.

• Some scenes like Night Scene and Fireworks results in a slow shutter speed

setting. Since a slow shutter speed increases the chance of digital noise in the

image, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process when

either of these scenes is selected. This means that it will take a bit longer for the

image to be saved which is indicated by the back lamp flashing green. Do not

perform any key operation during that time. Also, it is a good idea to use a tripod to

avoid image blur due to camera movement when shooting at slow shutter speeds.

• Your camera includes a sample scene that optimizes settings for auction site

images. Depending on your camera model, the sample scene is named either “For

eBay” or “Auction”. Images you record using the auction site sample scene are

stored in a special folder so you can easily find them on your computer (page 131).

• Images recorded using the following BEST SHOT scenes (Art Shot) are saved as

3M (2048x1536 pixels) size.

Oil Painting, Crayon, Water Color

• High Sensitivity

– The high sensitivity setting is disabled whenever the camera’s flash fires.

– High sensitivity may not produce the desired results in very dark conditions.

– When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a tripod to protect against blurring

due to camera movement.

– Under certain lighting conditions, the camera will perform an automatic noise

filtering operation to reduce digital noise in the image. This operation causes the

camera to take longer than normal to save the image and be ready for the next

shot.

• BEST SHOT scene images were not shot using this camera.

• Images shot using a BEST SHOT scene may not produce the results you expected

due to shooting conditions and other factors.

• You can modify the camera settings that are made after you select a BEST SHOT

scene. Note, however, that the BEST SHOT settings revert to their defaults when

you select another BEST SHOT scene or turn off the camera.

Procedure

[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * REC Tab * Anti Shake

You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject

movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto,

when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.

Your digital camera is equipped with a CCD shift type camera shake correction

feature and a high-sensitivity anti image blur feature. These two features work in

concert to minimize the effects of hand and subject movement.

any time by pressing [ ] (Delete).

IMPORTANT!

• When shooting the subject image, shoot against a white wall or some other surface

of a color that is different from that of the subject. The camera will not be able to

crop the subject image properly if it is the same or similar color as the background.

• The camera may not be able to cleanly crop a subject that is not clearly defined on

the monitor screen due to backlighting, shadows, light smear, insufficient lighting,

etc. When shooting the subject, make sure that it is clearly defined and outlined on

the monitor screen.

• The background you shoot in step 9 of the above procedure is not saved. Only the

cropped subject image is saved.

112 Printing

. Date Stamping

You can use one of the following three methods to include the recording date in the

printout of an image.

. Standards Supported by the Camera

• PictBridge

This is a standard of the Camera and Imaging Products Association

(CIPA).

• PRINT Image Matching III

Using image editing software and printing on a printer that supports

PRINT Image Matching III makes it possible to use information about

shooting conditions that is recorded with the image, and produce

exactly the type of image you want. PRINT Image Matching and

PRINT Image Matching are trademarks of Seiko Epson Corporation.III

• Exif Print

Printing on a printer that supports Exif Print (Exif 2.2) uses

information about shooting conditions recorded with the image to

enhance printed image quality. Contact your printer manufacturer

for information about models that support Exif Print, printer upgrades, etc.

Configuring camera settings

Configure DPOF settings (page 110).

You can turn date stamping on and off each time you print. You can configure

settings so some images include the date stamp and some don’t.

Configure the Camera’s Time Stamp setting (page 137).

• The camera’s Time Stamp setting imprints the date into a snapshot when you

shoot it, so the date is always included when you print. It cannot be deleted.

• Do not turn on DPOF date stamping for an image that includes a date

stamped with the camera’s Time Stamp function. Doing so can cause the two

stamps to be overprinted.

Configuring computer settings

You can use commercially available image management software to date

stamp images.

Professional print service

Request date stamping when ordering prints from a professional print service.

4. Turn off the camera and

then use the USB cable

that comes with the

camera to connect it to

your Macintosh.

• The camera does not

draw power over the USB

cable. Make sure the

camera’s battery is

sufficiently charged

before connecting.

• Make sure that you insert

the cable connector into

the USB/AV port until you

feel it click securely into

place. Failure to insert

the connector fully can

result in poor

communication or

malfunction.

• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you

still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as

shown in the illustration.

• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port, make

sure you align the connector correctly with the port.

• 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.

5. Turn on the camera.

The camera’s back lamp will light green at this time. In this mode, your Macintosh

recognizes the memory card loaded in the camera (or the camera’s built-in

memory if it does not have a memory card loaded) as a drive. The appearance of

the drive icon depends on the Mac OS version you are using.

6. Double-click the camera’s drive icon.

• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your Macintosh

screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.

IMPORTANT!

• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing

images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.

Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files

that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.

Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which

will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter

remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or

rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.

127 Using the Camera with a Computer

If you are running Mac OS X, you can manage snapshots using iPhoto, which comes

bundled with some Macintosh products. If you are running Mac OS 9, you will need to

use commercially available software.

You can use QuickTime, which comes bundled with your operating system, to play

back movies on a Macintosh. To play back a movie, first copy it to your Macintosh

and then double-click the movie file.

. Minimum Computer System Requirements for Movie Playback

The minimum system requirements described below are necessary to play back

movies recorded with this camera on a computer.

• The above are recommended system environments. Configuring one of these

environments does not guarantee proper operation.

• Certain settings and other installed software may interfere with proper playback of

movies.

. Movie Playback Precautions

Proper movie playback may not be possible on some Macintosh models. If you

experience problems, try the following.

– Change the movie image quality setting to “STD” or “LP”.

– Upgrade to the latest version of QuickTime.

– Shut down other applications that are running.

Even if proper playback is not possible on your Macintosh, you can use the AV cable

that comes bundled with the camera to connect to the video input terminal of a TV or

Macintosh and play back movies that way.

IMPORTANT!

• Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your Macintosh before trying to

play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a

network, from a memory card, etc.

IMPORTANT!

• Recorded images are transferred over wireless LAN. Do not use the Eye-Fi card or

turn off Eye-Fi card communication (page 133) when on an aircraft or in any other

location where use of wireless communication is limited or prohibited.

• Loading an Eye-Fi card will cause the Eye-Fi indicator to

appear on the monitor screen. Its transparent or not transparent

appearance indicates the communication status as shown below.

• A communication icon will appear on the monitor screen while image data

transfer is in progress.

• The camera’s Auto Power Off (page 140) function is disabled while image data

transfer is in progress.

• A confirmation message will appear on the monitor screen if you try to turn off the

camera while image data transfer is in progress. Follow the instructions in the

messages (page 163).

• Transfer of a large number of images can take some time to complete.

• Depending on the type of Eye-Fi card you are using and its settings, images on the

Eye-Fi card may be deleted following image data transfer.

• When recording a movie to an Eye-Fi card, it can take too much time to record

data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio.

• Proper Eye-Fi card data communication may not be possible due to camera

settings, battery level, or operating conditions.

Transparent Access point cannot be found or no transferable

image data exists.

130 Using the Camera with a Computer

The camera creates a file and saves it each time you shoot a snapshot, record a

movie, or perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing

them in folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.

• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder

Structure” (page 131).

• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file

names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see page 12.

• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and

quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.
