    Replacing the Battery
    1.
    Open the battery cover.
    2.With the camera oriented with its monitor 
    screen facing upwards as shown in the 
    illustration, slide the stopper in the direction 
    indicated by the arrow and hold it there.
    •This will cause the battery to come out part way.
    3.While still holding the stopper, pull the battery 
    out the rest of the way.
    4.Load a new battery.
    Battery Precautions
    ■Precautions during Use
    •Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is 
    always less than operation under normal temperatures. This 
    is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.
    •Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within 
    the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside 
    this temperature range can cause charging to take longer 
    than normal or even cause charging to fail.
    •If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full 
    charge, it probably means that the battery has reached the 
    end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

    ■Storage Precautions
    •Though a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides high 
    capacity in a compact configuration, long-term storage while 
    charged can cause it to deteriorate.
    – If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use 
    up its charge before storing it.
    – Always remove the battery from the camera when you are 
    not using it. Leaving a battery in the camera can cause it to 
    discharge and go dead, which will require longer charging 
    when you need to use the camera.
    – Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).Note the following precautions.
    •The bundled AC adaptor is designed for operation with any 
    power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. 
    Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug 
    depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking 
    the camera and AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel 
    agent about the power supply requirements in your 
    destination(s).
    •Do not connect the AC adaptor to a power supply through a 
    voltage converter or similar device. Doing so can lead to 
    malfunction.
    ■Extra Batteries
    Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-50) is 
    recommended while on a trip in order to avoid not being able to 
    shoot images due to the battery going dead.

    appears for configuring screen text language, date, and time 
    settings. Use the procedure under “Configuring Display 
    Language, Date, and Time Settings” (page 11) to configure 
    the settings correctly.

    •Failure to set the date and time will cause the wrong 
    date and time data to be recorded with images.
    •If you make a mistake when configuring the language, 
    date, and time settings, you can change the settings 
    (pages 210, 214).

    You can store images you shoot with the camera on a memory 
    card. It is up to you to purchase a commercially available 
    memory card. In addition to memory card storage, the camera 
    also has built-in memory, which is enough to hold a few 
    snapshots or a short movie. Use built-in memory for test 
    purposes, emergency use, etc.
    NOTE•Images can be copied between the camera’s built-in 
    memory and a memory card (page 201).
    •The following data is stored in built-in memory. It cannot be 
    copied to a memory card.
    – Face Recognition data saved with Record Family
    – BEST SHOT mode user image information
    – FAVORITE folder
    – Mode memory settings
    – Start-up screen image
    Supported Memory Cards
    Your camera supports use of the 
    following types of memory cards.
    SD Memory Card
    SDHC Memory Card
    MMC (MultiMediaCard)
    MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)
    •For information about memory card 
    capacity, see page 282.
    Memory Used for Storage
    Images recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to 
    the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are 
    saved in built-in memory.
    •Note that you cannot save images in built-in memory while a 
    memory card is loaded in the camera.
    Using a Memory Card

    							47GETTING READY
    IMPORTANT!
    •See the instructions that come with the memory card for 
    information about how to use it.
    •Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If 
    you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to 
    record a movie using the “UHQ”, “UHQ Wide”, “HQ”, or 
    “HQ Wide” image quality setting. Because of this, use of a 
    memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 
    10MB per second is recommended.
    •Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data, 
    which can cause movie frames to be dropped. “ ” and 
    “ ” flash on the monitor screen during recording to let 
    you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of a 
    memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 
    10MB per second is recommended.
    •SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a write 
    protect switch. Use it when you need to guard against 
    accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write 
    protect a memory card you must then turn write protection 
    off whenever you want to record to the card, format it, or 
    delete any of its images.•Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other 
    phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even 
    lost. Make sure that you always back up important data on 
    other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disk, hard disk, etc.).

    Loading a Memory Card into the Camera
    IMPORTANT!
    •Make sure you always turn off the camera before loading or 
    removing a memory card.
    •Be sure to orient the card correctly when loading it. Never 
    try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel 
    resistance.
    1.Open the battery cover.
    While pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction 
    indicated by the arrow.
    2.Load a memory card into the camera.
    Positioning the memory card so its front is facing upwards 
    (towards the monitor screen side of the camera), slide it into 
    the card slot all the way in until you hear it click securely into 
    place.
    3.Close the battery cover.
    Swing the battery cover closed, and then slide it securely 
    into place as you press it against the camera.12

    IMPORTANT!
    •Never insert anything besides a supported memory card 
    (page 46) into the memory card slot.
    •Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card 
    slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery, 
    and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO authorized 
    service center.
    •Never remove a card from the camera while the operation 
    lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save 
    operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

    Formatting a Memory Card
    Before using a new memory card for the first time, you need to 
    format it. Once you format a memory card, you will not need to 
    format it each time you use it.
    Formatting a memory card that already has files on it will delete 
    its contents.
    IMPORTANT!
    •Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation 
    cannot be recovered. Double-check to make sure that you 
    really want to delete all the contents of the memory card 
    before proceeding with the format operation.
    •Even if the file data on a memory card is protected (page 
    197), formatting the card will delete all its data.
    •Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. 
    Formatting a memory card on a computer and then using it 
    in the camera can slow down data processing by the 
    camera. In the case of an SD memory card or SDHC 
    memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-
    conformity with the SD format, causing problems with 
    compatibility, operation, etc.
    1.Load the memory card you want to format into 
    the camera.
    2.Turn on the camera and press [MENU].
    3.On the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then 
    press [X].
    4.Use [S] and [T] to select “Format” and then 
    press [SET] to start formatting.
    After formatting is complete, enter the PLAY mode and 
    check to make sure the “There are no files.” message 
    appears on the monitor screen.
    •To exit the format operation without formatting, select 
    “Cancel”.
