.Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may 
experience problems saving high-quality (WIDE and STD) movies. Use of certain 
types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause 
movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by »
 and Y
 flashing on the 
monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 
10MB per second is recommended.
.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 147) 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-80 
rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The camera 
suddenly powers 
down.1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 145). 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 it.
Image Recording
Image is not 
recorded when the 
shutter button is 
pressed.1) If the camera is in the PLAY mode, 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 30). Use manual focus 
(page 67).
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.

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 40).
2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 16).
3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ?
 (Flash Off) is selected, 
change to a different flash mode (page 40) or select a 
different BEST SHOT scene (page 58).
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 dead. Charge the battery (page 16).
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 67).
2)You may be using ´
 (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use 
Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 67).
3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or )
 (Infinity) when 
shooting a close-up shot. Use the ´
 (Macro) for close ups 
(page 67).
There is a vertical 
line in the monitor 
screen image.Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to 
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD 
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate 
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not 
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is 
recorded in the case of a movie.
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 
40) or use lights for illumination.
3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the 
Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a 
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

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 18).
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 
40), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 83).
Night shots come 
out bad.Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 58) when shooting 
at night.
• 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 40), or adjust EV 
shift to the + side (page 83).
The focus frame 
does not appear on 
the monitor screen.Normally, turning off the camera while “Detect Smile” is 
selected for Auto Shutter will cause the camera’s face detection 
setting to change. You will need to change the face detection 
setting again after turn on the camera. You can tell the camera 
to remember the Auto Shutter setting by selecting “On” for the 
“Auto Shutter” power on default setting (page 81).

turned on.1) You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the 
camera or the camera may have been left with a dead 
battery. Check the camera setup (pages 19, 144).
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 147). 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.

settings configured 
the first time after 
purchasing the

settings (page 19). 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.
