Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to 
make recording of digital images easier, including the following three main functions.
What you can do with your CASIO camera
Hybrid-GPS
The Hybrid-GPS of your camera provides both 
standard GPS and an autonomous positioning 
system that uses sensors for positioning indoors and 
in other locations where GPS satellite waves cannot 
reach. Hybrid-GPS provides you with the following 
capabilities.
• Recording of current location information (latitude, longitude, camera aiming 
direction) along with image data (snapshots and movies)
• Recording of the current place name along with image data (snapshots and 
movies) and direct stamping of the place name in images (snapshots)
• Display of images and shooting locations on a map
• Map-based searches of nearby recommended photogenic spots
Premium Auto
Select Premium Auto recording and the 
camera automatically determines whether 
you are shooting a subject or scenery, and 
other conditions. Premium Auto delivers 
higher image quality than standard Auto.
See page 91 for more information.
See page 26 for more information.

							17Quick 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-90) 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 200 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-90L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-90). 
Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger 
can result in an 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 OPEN 
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.

battery, see page 161.
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 
146).
• See page 183 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 37).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 147, 148).
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 60).
• If you do not want to use the GPS function, select “Off” for the “GPS” setting 
(page 92).
