If the back lamp starts flashing red during charging, it means that further charging is not possible for one of the reasons below. Perform the actions described below to correct the problem and then try charging again. Ambient temperature or the temperature of the battery is abnormally high or low Unplug the USB cable from the camera and wait for a while until the camera is within the temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F), and then try charging again. Safety timer activated A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and connection conditions can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging takes longer than about six hours, a safety timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate automatically after only about 45 minutes. 1) Using a battery that has not been used for a long time. Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to resume charging. 2) Insufficient power supply when connected to computer Connect directly to a USB port what supplies a current of 500mA. For details about the power supply capacity of a computer’s USB port, contact the manufacturer of the computer. Though disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB cable will resume charging, you may need to do so repeatedly if the power supply capacity of the computer is low. Power Supply Charging If problems continue to occur after you perform the above steps, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your nearest CASIO authorized service center.
173Appendix 1.Open the battery cover and remove the current battery. With the monitor screen side of the camera facing upwards, slide the stopper in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration. After the battery pops out, pull it the rest of the way out of the camera. 2.Load a new battery. .Precautions during Use • Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera. • Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or even fail. • Do not tear or remove the battery outer label. • If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one. .Storage Precautions • Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it. • Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge when you need to use the camera. • Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower). • To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months. To replace the battery Battery Precautions Stopper
174Appendix .Precautions during Use • The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply requirements in your destination(s). • Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction. .Extra Batteries • Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-110) is recommended while on a trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead. See page 23 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 the Camera in another Country Using a Memory Card To replace the memory card
175Appendix .Using a Memory Card • SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC 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 164). 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 164) to completely delete the data in built-in memory before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera. Write enabled Write disabled

179Appendix .PLAY Mode “PLAY” Tab “Set Up” Tab • The contents of the “Set Up” tab are the same in the REC mode and PLAY mode. Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you can use to check the exposure of an image before you shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY mode for information about the exposure levels of images. NOTE • A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its histogram is centered. • Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve an optimum histogram configuration. • Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is shot. • The histogram cannot be displayed during high speed movie recording.

180Appendix A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as possible. For snapshots, you can even display individual histograms for R (red), G (green), and B (blue). Example Histograms How to Use the Histogram A histogram towards the left side results when the overall image is dark. A histogram that is too far to the left may result in “black out” of the dark areas of an image. A histogram towards the right side results when the overall image is light. A histogram that is too far to the right may result in “white out” of the light areas of an image. An overall well-balanced histogram results when the overall image is at optimal lightness.
