Quick Start Basics
Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to 
make recording of digital images easier, including the following main functions.
What you can do with your CASIO camera
Premium Auto

camera automatically determines whether you 
are shooting a subject or scenery, and other 
conditions. Premium Auto delivers higher 
image quality than standard Auto.
Make-up Function
The Make-up Function smoothes the skin 
texture of the subject and softens facial 
shadows caused by harsh sunlight for better 
looking portraits.

Simply select the sample scene you want and 
the camera sets up automatically. Then all you 
need to do is press the shutter button for 
perfect images.

IMPORTANT!
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an 
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then 
reconnect the USB cable.
• Depending on the setup of your computer, you may not be able to charge the 
camera’s battery over a USB connection. If this happens, use of the USB-AC 
adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.
Back Lamp Operation
• The information in parentheses in the above table shows the lamp status while the 
camera is turned on during charging.
Other Charging Precautions
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s 
battery (NP-80) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the 
battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-80L). Never use any other 
type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in 
unexpected accident.
• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards. 
Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause 
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you. 
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port 
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery 
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of 
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to 
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. 
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or 
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.

Checking Remaining Battery Power
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates 
remaining power as shown below.
 indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
Recording is not possible when   is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the 
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is 
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to 
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera 
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 
96).
• See page 126 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting 
(page 35).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 97, 98).

display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly 
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.

you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display 
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the 
Display Language (Language)” (page 97). Note that a version of this manual in the

NOTE
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they 
are subject to change.
• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date 
settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults. 
Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and 
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for 
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded 
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card 
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 122.
– SD Memory Card (Up to 2GB)
– SDHC Memory Card (2GB to 32GB)
– SDXC Memory Card (32GB to 2TB)
Use one of the above types of memory card.
• The above are supported memory card types as of June 2012.
• Noted memory card capacities are standard values.
• Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card Association specification.
• This camera supports use of Eye-Fi cards.If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the 
above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct 
the settings.
