Finding the Problem and Fixing It
Troubleshooting Guide
ProblemPossible Causes and Action
Power Supply
Power does not turn on. 1) The battery may not be oriented correctly (page 36).
2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 36). 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-50 rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The battery won’t charge. The battery may not be oriented correctly (page 36).
Camera suddenly powers 
down.1) Auto Power Off may have activated (page 45). Turn power back on.
2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 36).
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 does not turn off.
Nothing happens when a 
button is pressed.Remove the battery from the camera and then reinsert it.
Image Recording
Image is not recorded when 
the shutter button is pressed.1) If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press [ ] (PLAY) to 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 not compatible with Auto Focus (page 68). Use 
manual focus (page 131).
4) You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting with Anti Shake (page 133) or use a tripod.
5) You may be using Quick Shutter and pressing the shutter button all the way, resulting in poor focus. 
Half-press the shutter button and allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.

							276APPENDIX
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 72).
2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 36).
3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses the “ ” (Flash Off) flash mode is selected, change to a different 
flash mode (page 72) or select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 104).
Camera powers down during 
self-timer countdown.The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 36).
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 131).
2) You may be using the macro mode   for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and 
portrait shots (page 124).
3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or the Infinity mode   when shooting a close-up shot. Use the 
Macro mode for close ups (page 125).
There is a vertical line on the 
monitor screen.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 while “ ” (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, 
which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, change to a different 
flash mode (page 72) or use lights for illumination.
3) Flash assist or dynamic range may be enabled for snapshots, which can cause an increase in digital 
noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

An image I shot 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. When the battery indicator shows “ ”, charge the battery as soon as 
possible (page 36).
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 72), or use adjust EV shift to the + side (page 136).
Subjects are too bright 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 72), or use adjust EV shift to the + side (page 
136).
Digital zoom does not work. 
The zoom bar indicates zoom 
only up to a zoom factor of 
7.0.1) Using digital zoom while Layout Shot, Auto Framing, Old Photo, or certain other BEST SHOT scenes 
are selected causes deterioration of the image.
2) Time stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital zoom to be disabled. Turn off time stamping 
(page 147).
Recognition of a family 
member’s face is not 
recognized correctly, even 
though the face has been 
recorded. Though face characteristics were recorded for your family member, the data may have been faulty, or the 
angle to the face or its expression may be making recognition difficult. Re-record the face of the family 
member who is not being recognized (page 85). 
The image is out of focus 
during movie recording.1) Focusing is not possible because the subject is outside the focus range. Shoot within the allowable 
range.
2) The subject you are shooting may be difficult to focus (page 68).
3) The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 35).

Playback
The color of the playback 
image is different from what 
appears on the monitor 
screen when shooting.Sunlight or light from another source may be shining directly into the lens when you are shooting. Position 
the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens.
Images are not displayed. This camera cannot display non-DCF images recorded onto a memory card using another digital camera.
I can’t edit images (layout 
print, resizing, trimming, 
keystone correction, color 
restoration, rotation, white 
balance, date/time editing).Note that you cannot edit the following types of imagess.
