							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-120) 
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 180 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

Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-120L) to charge the special lithium ion battery 
(NP-120). 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 
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.
3.Close the battery cover.
Close the battery cover and then shift the 
slider towards LOCK.
• For information about how to replace 
the battery, see page 153.

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 
139).
• See page 171 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 38).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 140, 141).

							19Quick Start Basics
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 140). Note that a version of this manual in 
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the 
Japanese market.
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language 
selection.
1.Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the 
camera.
2.Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select 
the language you want and then press 
[SET].
3.Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].
Example: July, 10, 2012
YY/MM/DD * 12/7/10

recording mode (page 25) and then press [SET].
• After configuring the auto recording mode setting you want here, you can 
toggle between “Auto” and “Premium Auto” by pressing [AUTO].
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 167.
– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card.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.
