 If you have problems installing the USB driver...
You may not be able to install the USB driver properly if you use the USB cable to connect the camera to a computer running
Windows 98 before installing the USB driver from the bundled CD-ROM (CASIO Digital Camera Software), or if you have
another type of driver installed. This will make it impossible for the computer to recognize the digital camera when it is
connected. If this happens, you will need to re-install the camera’s USB driver. For information about how to re-install the USB
driver, see the USB driver’s “Read me” file on “CASIO Digital Camera Software” CD-ROM that comes bundled with the
camera.

Power Supply
•Use only the special NP-40 rechargeable lithium ion battery to power this
camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.
•This camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and
time settings of the camera are cleared whenever power is totally cut off
(from both the battery and USB cradle). Be sure to reconfigure these
settings after power is interrupted (page 42).
LCD Panel
•The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that
provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that less than 0.01% of the
total pixels are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).
Lens
•You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such
as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the
characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
