161Appendix
.Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a 
write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to 
guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, 
however, if you write protect an SD memory card you 
must then turn write protection off whenever you want 
to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during  image playback, you can restore normal oper ation by reformatting it (page 145). 
However, it is recommended that you al ways take along multiple memory cards 
whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it  loses its ability to retain data. Because of  this, periodic re-formatting of a memory 
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noi se, and other phenomena can cause data to 
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data 
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.)
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the 
Camera
The format and delete functions of the camera  do not actually delete files from the 
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the 
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended 
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to 
another party. • When discarding a memory card, either phys ically destroy the memory card or use 
commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the 
memory card.
• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially  available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.
• Use the format function (page 145) to completely delete the data in built-in memory  before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

170Appendix
When things don’t go right... 
Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause and Recommended Action
Power Supply
Power does not 
turn on.1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 13).
2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 11). If the 
battery goes dead soon after being charged, it means the 
battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be 
replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-100 
rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The camera 
suddenly powers 
down. 1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 142). Turn power 
back on.
2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 11).
3) The camera’s protection function may have activated  because camera temperature is too high. Turn off the camera 
and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again.
Power will not turn 
off. Nothing 
happens when a 
button is pressed. Remove the battery from the camera and then reload it.
Image Recording
Image is not 
recorded when the 
shutter button is 
pressed.1)If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press [
r
] (REC) to enter 
the REC Mode.
2) If the flash is charging, wait until the charge operation 
finishes.
3) If the message “Memory Full” appears, transfer images to  your computer, delete images you no longer need, or use a 
different memory card.
Auto Focus does 
not focus properly 1)If the lens is dirty, clean it off.
2)The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when 
you compose the image.
3) The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is 
compatible with Auto Focus (page 23). Use manual focus 
(page 43).
4) You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting 
with Anti Shake or use a tripod.
5)You may be pressing the shutter button all the way without  waiting for Auto Focus. Half-press the shutter button and 
allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.
The subject is out 
of focus in the 
recorded image. The image may not be focused properly. When composing the 
image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame.
