LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

Quick Start Basics
What is a digital camera?
Delete
A digital camera stores images on a memory card, so you can record and
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
computer.
Print images. Attach images to e-mail.
14
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.
What you can do with your CASIO camera
Tough, Shock resistant construction
Applying the same technology developed for the G-SHOCK wristwatch, this
camera has passed drop testing from a height of 2.13 meters/7 feet* for a level
of shock resistance that dramatically outperforms previous models.
* Based on CASIO test equivalent to MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock
(page 31).
Waterproof, Dustproof, Freezeproof
In addition to IEC/JIS Protection Class 8 (IPX8)* and
Protection Class 6 (IPX6) equivalent waterproofing that
allows immersion up to 3.0 meters, this camera also
conforms to IEC/JIS Protection Class 6 (IP6X)
dustproofing, which effectively shuts out sand, dirt, and
dust. Freezeproofing up to –10°C means it can be used while skiing and in
other cold temperature environments.
* Based on CASIO test.
See page 31 for more information.
15
Quick Start Basics
Dynamic Photo
Extract a moving subject out of a series of Continuous Shutter images you have
shot and insert them into another image to create a Dynamic Photo image that
features the moving subject.
Interval
Recording
This feature automatically records images at fixed intervals. You can fix the
camera to a bicycle or automobile and have it shoot at regular intervals as you
travel. This feature is also ideal to shoot changes in clouds, flowers, and
crowds.
See page 109 for more information.
See page 63 for more information.
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 100 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.

Quick Start Basics
Other Charging Precautions
Use the special charger (BC-80L) 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 4 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 completely until it
clicks securely in place.
For information about how to replace the
battery, see page 158.
Checking Remaining Battery Power
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates
remaining power as shown below.
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 two 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
143).
See page 177 for information about battery life and memory capacity.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting
(page 40).
Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 144, 145).

Quick Start Basics
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 144). Note that a version of this manual in
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the
Japanese market.
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the
camera.
2. Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select the
language you want and then press
[SET].
3. Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].
Example: July 10, 2012
YY/MM/DD
* 12/7/10
DD/MM/YY
* 10/7/12
MM/DD/YY
* 7/10/12
4. Set the date and the time.
Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to
change and then use [8] and [2] to change it.
To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press
[BS].
5. After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6]
to select “Apply” and then press [SET].

Quick Start Basics
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 173.
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.
