Casio Exilim EX ZR100 User Manual

							171Appendix
• Do not use or leave the battery under direct sunlight, in an automobile parked in the 
sun, or in any other area subject to high temperatures. Doing so can damage the 
battery, and cause deterioration of its performance and loss of service life.
• If battery charging does not end normally within the specified charging time, stop 
charging anyway and contact your local CASIO authorized service center. 
Continued charging creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion.
• Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery fluid get into your eyes 
accidentally, immediately rinse them with clean tap water and then consult a 
physician.
• Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the camera and special 
charger unit before using or charging the battery.
• If a battery is to be used by young children, make sure that a responsible adult 
makes them aware of the precautions and proper handling instructions, and make 
sure that they handle the battery correctly.
• Should fluid from a battery accidentally get onto clothing or your skin, immediately 
rinse it off with clean tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can cause skin 
irritation.
.Battery Life
• Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual represent the 
approximate amount of time before the camera turns off due to low battery power 
when being powered by the special battery under normal temperature (23°C 
(73°F)). They do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated level 
of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by ambient temperature, battery 
storage conditions, the amount of time spent in storage, etc.
• Leaving the camera on can run down the battery and cause the low battery 
warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever you are not using it.
• The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to turn off due to low 
battery power. Charge the battery as soon as possible. Leaving a low or dead 
battery in the camera can lead to battery leakage and data corruption.

.Data Error Precautions
Your digital camera is manufactured using precision digital components. Any of the 
following creates the risk of corruption of data in camera memory.
– Removing the battery or memory card while the camera is performing some 
operation
– Removing the battery or memory card while the back lamp is flashing green after 
turning off the camera
– Disconnecting the USB cable while communication is in progress
– Using a battery that is low
– Other abnormal operations
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to appear on the monitor 
screen (page 189). Perform the action indicated by the message that appears.
.Operating Environment
• Operating Temperature Requirements: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
• Operating Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensation)
• Do not place the camera in any of the following locations.
– In an area exposed to direct sunlight, or large amounts of moisture, dust, or sand
– Near an air conditioner or in other areas subjected to extreme temperature or 
humidity
– Inside of a motor vehicle on a hot day, or in an area subjected to strong vibration
.Condensation
Sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as when the camera is moved from 
the outdoors on a cold winter day into a warm room, can cause water droplets called 
“condensation” to form on the interior and the exterior of the camera, which creates 
the risk of malfunction. To prevent condensation from forming seal the camera in a 
plastic bag before changing locations. Then leave the bag sealed to allow the air 
inside to naturally change to the same temperature as the air in the new location. 
After that, remove the camera from the bag and open the battery cover for a few 
hours.
.Lens
• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can 
scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.
• 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 
lenses, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

							173Appendix
.Caring for your camera
• Never touch the lens or flash window with your fingers. Finger smudges, dirt, and 
other foreign matter on the lens or flash window can interfere with proper operation 
of the camera. Use a blower or other means to keep the lens and flash window free 
of dirt and dust, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• To clean the camera, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
.Old Rechargeable Battery Handling Precautions
• Insulate the positive and negative terminals with tape, etc.
• Do not peel the covering off of the battery.
• Do not try to take the battery apart.
.Charger Unit Handling Precautions
• The charger unit becomes slightly warm during charging. This is normal and does 
not indicate malfunction.
• Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the charger 
unit.
• Never use detergent to clean the power cord (especially the plug).
• Never cover the charger unit with a blanket, etc. Doing so creates the risk of fire.
.Other Precautions
The camera becomes slightly warm during use. This is normal and does not indicate 
malfunction.
-
0Never plug the power cord into an outlet whose voltage rating is different from 
that marked on the power cord. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, 
and electric shock.
0Take care to protect the power cord against damage and breaking. Never place 
heavy objects onto the power cord, or expose it to intense heat. Doing so can 
damage the power cord, creating the risk of fire and electric shock.
0Never try to modify the power cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or 
pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
0Never plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so 
creates the risk of electric shock.
0Do not plug the power cord into an outlet or extension cord that is shared by 
other devices. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
0Should the power cord ever become damaged (to the point that internal wires 
are exposed or cut), immediately contact your original retailer or a CASIO 
authorized service center to request repair. Continued use of a damaged power 
cord creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.

.If the charger’s [CHARGE] lamp flashes red...
• Charging cannot be performed because ambient temperature or the temperature of 
the charger is too hot or too cold. Leave the camera in a location whose 
temperature is within the range where charging can be performed. When the 
camera returns to a temperature where charging can be performed, the [CHARGE] 
lamp will light red.
• Check if the charger and battery contacts are dirty. If contacts are dirty, wipe them 
clean with a dry cloth.
1.Open the battery cover and 
remove the current battery.
With the monitor screen side of the 
camera facing upwards, slide the

.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 5°C to 
35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than 
normal or even fail.
• Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.
• If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably 
means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a 
new one.
.Storage Precautions
• Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of 
battery characteristics. 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. A battery left 
in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge 
when you need to use the camera.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).
• To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in 
the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.
.Precautions during Use
• The bundled charger 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 
charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply 
requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the charger 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-130) is recommended while on a trip 
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.

See page 20 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a 
memory card.
Press the memory card and then release it. This 
will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot 
slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and 
then insert another one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the 
back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause 
the image save operation to fail and even 
damage the memory card.
.Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC 
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the 
switch when you need to guard against accidentally 
deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an 
SD memory card you must then turn write protection 
off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or 
delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during 
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 165). 
However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards 
whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it 
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory 
card is recommended.
• 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, hard disk, etc.)

.Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the 
Camera
The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the 
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the 
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended 
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to 
another party.
• When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or use 
commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the 
memory card.
• When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially 
available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.
Use the format function (page 165) to completely delete the data in built-in memory 
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.
