Precautions
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the EX-Z30/EX-Z40.
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the
camera” refer to the CASIO EX-Z30/EX-Z40 Digital
Camera.
Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so
creates the danger of serious accident.
Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your
own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the
risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave
maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized
service center.
Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the
camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.
Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out
of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally,
contact your physician immediately.
Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating
a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s
vision and create the danger of accident. PRINT Image Matching 
II Compatible (page 150)
Images include PRINT Image Matching II data (mode
setting and other camera setup information). A printer that
supports PRINT Image Matching 
II reads this data and
adjusts the printed image accordingly, so your images
come out just the way you intended when you recorded
them.
USB DIRECT-PRINT support (page 146)
Your camera supports USB DIRECT-PRINT, which was
developed by Seiko Epson Corporation. When connected
directly to a printer that supports USB DIRECT-PRINT,
you can select images to print and start the print
operation directly from the camera.
PictBridge support (page 146)
Your camera supports the PictBridge standard of the
Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA). You
can connect the camera directly to a printer that supports
PictBridge, and perform image selection and printing
using the camera monitor screen and controls.
Bundled with Photo Loader and Photohands (page 175)
Your camera comes bundled with Photo Loader, the
popular application that automatically loads images from
your camera to your PC. It also comes with Photohands,
and application that makes image retouching quick and
easy.

Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device
besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor
besides the one that comes with this camera.
Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other
cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.
At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord
from the power outlet and clean the area around the
prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can
create the danger of fire.
If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to
dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center.
Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other
areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in
an accident.
Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can
cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be
sure to always keep backup copies of data by transferring
them to personal computer memory.
Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect
the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the AC
adaptor from the wall socket while recording images.
Doing so will not only make storage of the current image
impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already
stored in file memory. Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage
if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true
with young children. When using the flash, the camera
should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the
subject.
Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and
never let it get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire
and electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the
rain or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom,
etc.
Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center. Using the camera under these
conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock.
Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming
out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking
care you do not burn your fingers, remove the camera’s
battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the
power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center. Using the camera under these
conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock.
After making sure there is no more smoke coming from
the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized
service center for repair. Never attempt your own
maintenance.

Lens
Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of
the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause
malfunction.
Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can
interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the
lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles
from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them
off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens
cloth.
Other
The camera may become slightly warm during use. This
does not indicate malfunction.
If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
Condensation
When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or
otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature,
there is the possibility that condensation can form on the
exterior or on interior components. Condensation can
cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid
exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.
To keep condensation from forming, place the camera
into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is
much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave
it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a
chance to reach the same temperature as the new
location. If condensation does form, remove the battery
from the camera and leave the battery compartment
cover open for a few hours.
