							181Appendix
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.

.Precautions during Use
• The bundled charger 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 
charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply 
requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the charger 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-90) is recommended while on a trip 
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.
See page 20 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.

							183Appendix
.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 170). 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 170) 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 17).
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-90 
rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The camera 
suddenly powers 
down.1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 167). 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 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 32). Use manual focus 
(page 91).
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. 
						

							188Appendix
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 44).
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 44) or select a 
different BEST SHOT scene (page 68).
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 
authorized 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 91).
2)You may be using ´
 (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use 
Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 91).
3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or )
 (Infinity) when 
shooting a close-up shot. Use the ´
 (Macro) for close ups 
(page 91).
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 
44) or use lights for illumination.
3) Lighting (page 106) may be enabled for snapshots, which can 
cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other 
means to illuminate the subject.
4) Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature 
is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to 
appear in the movie image. If this happens, move to a cooler 
environment or turn off the camera and allow it to cool down, 
which should cause normal operation to resume.
ProblemPossible Cause and Recommended Action
