14Quick 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
Tough, Shock resistant construction
Applying the same technology developed  for the G-SHOCK wristwatch, this 
camera has passed drop testing from a height of 2.13 meters/7 feet * for a level 
of shock resistance that dramatic ally outperforms previous models.
*Based on CASIO test equivalent to MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock 
(page 31).
Waterproof, Dustproof, Freezeproof
In addition to IEC/JIS Protection Class 8 (IPX8)* and 
Protection Class 6 (IPX6) equivalent waterproofing that 
allows immersion up to 3.0 meters, this camera also 
conforms to IEC/JIS Protection Class 6 (IP6X) 
dustproofing, which effectively shuts out sand, dirt, and 
dust. Freezeproofing up to –10°C means it can be used while skiing and in 
other cold temperature environments.
*Based on CASIO test.
See page 31 for more information.

Dynamic Photo
Extract a moving subject out of a series of Continuous Shutter images you have 
shot and insert them into another image to create a Dynamic Photo image that 
features the moving subject.
Interval 
Recording
This feature automatically records images at fixed intervals. You can fix the 
camera to a bicycle or automobile and have it shoot at regular intervals as you 
travel. This feature is also ideal to shoot changes in clouds, flowers, and 
crowds.
See page 109 for more information.

							16Quick Start Basics
Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps 
under “To charge the battery” to bring the battery to a full charge.
• Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-80) for 
power. Never try to use any other type of battery.
1.Positioning the positive +
 and 
negative -
 terminals of the battery 
with those of the charger unit, load 
the battery into the charger unit.
2.Plug the charger unit into a 
household power outlet.
About 100 minutes are required to 
reach full charge. The [CHARGE] 
lamp will go out when charging is 
complete. Unplug the power cord 
from the power outlet and then 
remove the battery from the 
charger.
First, charge the battery prior to use.

Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-80L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-80). 
Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger 
can result in unexpected accident.
• 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.
1.Open the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover slider towards 4 and 
then open it as indicated by the arrows in the 
illustration.
2.Load the battery.
With the EXILIM logo on the 
battery facing downwards (in 
the direction of the lens), 
hold the stopper next to the 
battery in the direction 
indicated by the arrow as 
you slide the battery into the 
camera. Press the battery in 
until the stopper secures it in 
place.

3.Close the battery cover.
Close the battery cover completely until it 
clicks securely in place.
• For information about how to replace the 
battery, see page 158.
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 two 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 
143).
• See page 177 for information about battery life and memory capacity.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting 
(page 40).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 144, 145).

The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the 
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.
IMPORTANT!
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if 
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 144). Note that a version of this manual in 
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the 
Japanese market.

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 173.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.
– Display language: Page 144
– Date and time: Page 143
