131Using the Camera with a Computer
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.
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 t he 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.
7.Drag the “DCIM” folder to the fold er to which you want to copy it.
8.After the copy operation is complete, drag the drive icon to Trash.
9.On the camera, press [ON/OFF] to  turn off the camera. After making 
sure that the green back lamp is un lit, disconnect the camera from the 
computer.

.To view copied images
1.Double-click the camera’s drive icon.
2.Double-click the “DCIM” folder to open it.
3.Double-click the folder that contai ns the images you want to view.
4.Double-click the image file you want to view.
• For information about file names, see “Memory Folder Structure” on page 135.
• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your Macintosh 
screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.
IMPORTANT!
• 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 c an 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.
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing  images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
If you are running Mac OS X, you can use the iPhoto application that comes bundled 
with the operating system to manage your images. If you are running Mac OS 9, you 
will need to use commercially available software.

133Using the Camera with a Computer
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 (excluding Full HD movies).
• Playback of Full HD movies is not supported on a Macintosh.
. Minimum System Requirements for Movie Playback
The minimum system requirements descri bed below are necessary to play back 
movies recorded with this camera on a Macintosh.
• The above are recommended system environments. Configuring one of these  environments does not guarantee proper operation.
• Even if your Macintosh meets the mini mum requirements described above, certain 
settings and other installed software may in terfere with proper playback of movies.
• Movie file playback is not supported under OS 9.
You must have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer 
in order to view the contents of a PDF file. If you don’t, go to the Adobe Systems 
Incorporated website and install Acrobat Reader.

134Using 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 135).
• You can view folder and file names on y our computer. For details about how file 
names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see page 166.
• 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.
Files and Folders
Name and Maximum Number AllowedExample
File
Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named 
CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension 
on the file name depends on the file type. 26th file name:
Folders
Folders are named from 100CASIO to 
999CASIO
There can be up to 900 folders in memory.
• The BEST SHOT mode (page 67) 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 recorded with the “For eBay”  scene are stored in a folder named 
“100_EBAY”.
– Images recorded with the “Auction” scene  are stored in a folder named “100_AUCT”.
• BEST SHOT also has  a scene named “For 
YouTube” that optimizes movie settings for 
recording movies for uploading to YouTube. 
Images recorded with the “For YouTube” 
scene are stored in a folder named 
“100YOUTB”. 100th folder name:

135Using the Camera with a Computer
The camera stores images you shoot in accordance with the Design Rule for Camera 
File System (DCF).
.About DCF
DCF is a standard that makes it possible to view and print images recorded on one 
manufacturer’s camera on DCF-compliant de vices produced by other manufacturers. 
You can transfer DCF-compliant images re corded with another camera to this 
camera and view them on this camera’s monitor screen.

.Supported Image Files
• Image files shot with this camera
• DCF-compliant image files
This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When 
displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the 
image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.
. Built-in Memory and Memory Ca rd Data Handling Precautions
• Whenever copying memory contents to y our computer, you should copy the DCIM 
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders it to 
change their names to dates or something  similar after you copy them to your 
computer. If you later decided to return a  DCIM folder to the camera, however, be 
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a 
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the 
folders inside the DCIM folder unless t hey have the names they originally had 
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”  shown on page 135 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.
• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access  camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.

Specifying the File Name Seri
al Number Generation Rule 
(File No.)
Continue Tells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will 
be named using the next sequential num
ber, even if files are deleted or 
if a blank memory card is loaded. If a memory card is loaded and that 
card already has files stored on it and the largest sequential number in 
the existing file names is greater  than the largest sequential number 
remembered by the camera, numbering of new files will start from the 
largest sequential number in the existing file names plus 1.
Reset Restarts the serial number from 0
001 whenever all files are deleted or 
when the memory card is replaced with a blank one. If a memory card 
is loaded and that card already has  files stored on it, numbering of new 
files will start from the largest sequential number in the existing file 
names number plus 1.
