Shooting with High Sensitivity
Higher sensitivity makes it possible to record brighter
images, without using flash, even when there is not enough
lighting available to obtain normal exposure.
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Use [
], [], [], and [] to select the “High
Sensitivity” scene, and then press [SET].
3.Press the shutter button to record the image.
 IMPORTANT! 
• High Sensitivity is disabled automatically when any
setting other than “Auto” is selected for ISO
sensitivity. If you want High Sensitivity to be
operational after turning it on, be sure to change the
ISO sensitivity setting to “Auto” (page 117).
• Recording with high sensitivity can cause an image
to appear somewhat coarser than normal and can
cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
• A desirable level of image brightness may not be
possible under very dark conditions.
• When shooting with slow shutter speeds, use a
tripod to protect against the effects of hand
movement.
• High Sensitivity is disabled while the flash setting is
“Auto Flash” or “Flash On”.

Recording Images of Business Cards and
Documents (Business Shot)
Recording a business card, document, whiteboard, or
similarly shaped object from an angle can cause the
subject to appear misshaped in the resulting image.
Business Shot automatically corrects the shape of
rectangular objects to make them appear like the camera
was positioned directly in front of them.

Before recording with Business Shot
• Before recording, compose the image so outline of the
item you want to record fits entirely within the monitor
screen.
• Make sure the subject is against a background that allows
the outline of the subject to stand out.
 NOTE 
• When the camera is at an angle to a business card
or document it is recording, the shape of the
business card or document may appear distorted in
the image. Auto keystone correction corrects for this
distortion, which means that subjects appear normal
even if you record at an angle.
To use Business Shot
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Use [
], [], [] and [] to select the
Business Shot image you want, and then
press [SET].
3.Press the shutter
button to record the
image.
• This displays a correction
confirmation screen, and
then saves the original
recorded image. An error
message will appear
(page 237) if the camera
is unable to find any
suitable keystone
correction candidate in
the image.
4.Use [] and [] to select the candidate you
want to correct.

5.Use [
] and [] to
select “Correct”, and
then press [SET].
• Selecting “Cancel” in
place of “Correct” stores
the original image as-is,
without correcting it.
 IMPORTANT! 
• Digital zoom is disabled while recording with
Business Shot. However, you can use optical zoom.
• The camera will not be able to recognize the subject
in the following cases.
— When part of the subject extends outside of the
monitor screen
— When the subject is the same color as the
background it is placed upon
• The maximum Business Shot image size is 1600 ×
1200 pixels, even if the camera is configured for a
larger image size. An image size setting smaller than
1600 ×
 1200 pixels records images at the specified
size.
Restoring an Old Photograph
You can use the procedure in this section to restore an old,
faded photograph with the color provided by modern digital
camera technology.
Before trying to restore an old
photograph
• Make sure the entire photograph you are trying to restore
is enclosed within the monitor screen.
• Make sure the object is against a background that allows
its outline to stand out, and that it fills the monitor screen
to the maximum extent possible.
• Make sure that light is not reflecting off the surface of the
original photograph.
• If the old photograph is portrait orientation, be sure to
compose the image with the camera in landscape
(horizontal) orientation.

To restore an old photograph
1.In the REC mode, press [BS] (BEST SHOT).
2.Use [
], [], [], and [] to select “Old
Photo”, and then press [SET].
3.Press the shutter
button to record the
image.
• This displays a
photograph contour
confirmation screen,
and then saves the
original recorded image.
An error message will
appear (page 237),
without displaying the
photograph contour
confirmation screen, if
the camera is unable to
find the contour of the
photograph.
 NOTE 
• When the camera is at an angle to the old
photograph, one side of the recorded image may
appear longer than the side opposite from it. This is
called “keystoning,” which is caused by the
difference in distance from the camera lens to each
side of the photograph. The side of the photograph
that is closer to the camera looks longer and the side
further from the camera looks shorter. Auto keystone
correction corrects for this distortion, which means
that a photograph appears normal even if you record
it at an angle.

— Past Movie
This function uses a 5-second buffer that is continually
updated. Pressing [

five seconds prior to the point [] (MOVIE) is
pressed. Use this function when you want to make
sure you do not miss fast-moving action (page 102).
— BEST SHOT mode
This mode is for BEST SHOT scenes other than Short
Movie and Past Movie. It makes camera setup as ease
as selecting the applicable sample scene. Select one
of the BEST SHOT scenes and the camera
automatically configures itself with the setup for that
scene (page 85).
 NOTE 
• You can play movie files on your computer using
Windows Media Player 9.
• Installing CASIO AVI Importer component on your
Macintosh makes it possible to use QuickTime to
playback movies recorded with the camera (page
222).
Specifying Movie Image Quality
The image quality setting determines how much the
camera compresses movie images before storing them.
Image quality is expressed as image size in pixels. A
“pixel” is one of the many tiny dots that make up an image.
More pixels (a larger image size) provide finer detail and
higher image quality when a movie is played back.
Before recording a movie, select the image quality setting
that suits your needs.
1.In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2.Use [] and [] to select the “Quality” tab.
3.Use [
] and [] to select “ Quality” , and
then press [].
4.Use [
] and [] to select the setting you
want, and then press [SET].
