    See page 22 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a 
    memory card.
    Press the memory card and then release it. This will 
    cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. 
    Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert 
    another one.
    • Never remove a card from the camera while the 
    back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause 
    the image save operation to fail and even 
    damage the memory card.
    .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 operation by reformatting it (page 158). 
    However, it is recommended that you always 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 noise, 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 physically 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 158) to completely delete the data in built-in memory 
    before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

    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 18).
    2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 16). 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-40 
    rechargeable lithium ion battery.
    The camera 
    suddenly powers 
    down.1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 155). Turn power 
    back on.
    2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 16).
    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 them.
    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 properly1)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 33). Use manual focus 
    (page 82).
    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. 
    						
    							177Appendix
    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.
    The flash does not 
    fire.1)If ?
     (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to 
    another mode (page 45).
    2) If the battery is low, charge it (page 16).
    3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ?
     (Flash Off) is selected, 
    change to a different flash mode (page 45) or select a 
    different BEST SHOT scene (page 66).
    4)If Lag Correction is turned on while shooting single shots, 
    change the “Lag Correction” setting to “Ó Off” (page 43).
    The ? (Flash Off) 
    icon flashes red on 
    the monitor screen 
    and the flash does 
    not fire.The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO service 
    center or your original retailer. Note that though the flash will not 
    fire, you still can use the camera for non-flash shots.
    Camera powers 
    down during Self-
    timer countdown.The battery may be low. Charge the battery.
    The monitor screen 
    image is out of 
    focus.1) You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the 
    image. Focus the image (page 82).

     (Infinity) when 
    shooting a close-up shot. Use the ´
     (Macro) for close ups 
    (page 82).
    There is digital 
    noise in images.1) Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark 
    subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a 
    light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
    2) You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with ?
     
    (Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and 
    make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 
    45) or use lights for illumination.
    A recorded image 
    was not saved.1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save 
    operation was complete, which will result in the image not 
    being saved. If the battery indicator shows  , charge the 
    battery as soon as possible (page 19).
    2) You may have removed the memory card from the camera 
    before the save operation was complete, which will result in 
    the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card 
    before the save operation is complete.

    Though available 
    lighting is bright, 
    the faces of people 
    in the image are 
    dark.Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash 
    mode setting to <
     (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 
    45), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 40).

    out bad.Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 66) when shooting 
    at night.
    • High Speed Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only)
    • Night Scene Portrait (for shooting people against night 
    scenery)
    Subjects are too 
    dark when shooting 
    images in a 
    seashore or ski 
    area.Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause 
    underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to <
     
    (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 45), or adjust EV 
    shift to the + side (page 40).
    Digital zoom will 
    not go up to the 
    maximum value.The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital zoom 
    (page 92).

    2) The wrong USB communication protocol is selected. Select 
    the correct USB communication protocol in accordance with 
    the type of device you are connecting (pages 132, 141).
    3)If the camera is not turned on, turn it on.
    4) 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.
    Language selection 
    screen appears 
    when the camera is 
    turned on.1) You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the 
    camera or the battery may have been left with a dead battery. 
    Configure the correct settings (pages 20, 154).
    2) There may be a problem with the camera’s memory data. If 
    this is the case, perform the reset operation to initialize the 
    camera’s setup (page 158). After that, configure each setting. 
    If the language selection screen does not re-appear when you 
    turn the camera on, it means that the camera’s memory 
    management data has been restored.
    If the same message appears after you turn power back on, 
    contact your retailer or a CASIO authorized service center.
    The time and date 
    settings configured 
    the first time after 
    purchasing the

    their factory 
    defaults when I 
    remove the 
    camera’s battery.Load the camera’s battery and reconfigure the time and date 
    settings (page 20). Do not remove the battery from the camera 
    for at least 24 hours after configuring time and date settings. 
    After that, the settings will not be reset if you remove the 
    battery.
    • If the time and date are reset to their factory default settings 
    when you remove the battery after it has been loaded for 
    more than 24 hours, it could mean that the camera’s setting 
    memory is defective. Contact your retailer or a CASIO 
    authorized service center.
