Your CASIO camera is packed with a powerful selection of features and functions to 
make recording of digital images easier, including the following four main functions.
What you can do with your CASIO camera
HDR Art
An HDR Art feature combines different parts of a burst 
of images shot with different exposures into a final 
image and performs high-precision image analysis to 
produce final images that are true works of art.
High Speed CS/Prerecord CS
Now you can shoot up to 30 continuous high-resolution 
images at the amazing speed of 40 images per second 
(maximum). Prerecord CS pre-records images to 
ensure you are almost never too late with the shutter 
button.
High Speed Movie
Movies can be recorded at up to 1000 frames per 
second. This makes it possible to clearly view 
phenomena that are invisible to the human eye, in 
slow motion.
FHD Movie Recording
You can record movies in high-quality FHD.

							16Quick Start Basics
Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps 
under “To charge the battery” to bring the battery to a full charge.
• Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-130) 
for power. Never try to use any other type of battery.
1.Aligning the positive + and 
negative - terminals of the battery 
with those of the charger unit, load 
the battery into the charger unit.
2.Plug the charger unit into a 
household power outlet.
About 240 minutes are required to 
reach full charge. The [CHARGE] 
lamp will go out when charging is 
complete. Unplug the power cord 
from the power outlet and then 
remove the battery from the charger.
First, charge the battery prior to use.

.Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-130L) to charge the special lithium ion battery 
(NP-130). Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different 
charger can result in unexpected accident.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery 
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of 
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to 
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. 
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or 
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
1.Open the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN 
and then open it as indicated by the arrows in 
the illustration.
2.Load the battery.
With the EXILIM logo on the 
battery facing downwards (in the 
direction of the lens), hold the 
stopper next to the battery in the 
direction indicated by the arrow 
as you slide the battery into the 
camera. Press the battery in until 
the stopper secures it in place.

3.Close the battery cover.
Close the battery cover and then shift the 
slider towards LOCK.
• For information about how to replace the 
battery, see page 175.
Checking Remaining Battery Power
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates 
remaining power as shown below.
 indicates battery power is low. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
Recording is not possible when   is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the 
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about 30 days with no power supplied while the battery is 
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to 
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera 
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 
160).
• See page 196 for information about battery life and number of shots.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting 
(page 43).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 161, 162).
• Select “Off” for “Continuous AF” (page 91).
• Avoid unnecessary optical zoom operations.

							19Quick Start Basics
The first time you load a battery into the camera, a screen appears for configuring the 
display language, date, and time settings. Failure to set the date and time correctly 
will cause the wrong date and time data to be recorded with images.
IMPORTANT!
• A screen for language selection will not appear in step 2 of the procedure below if 
you purchased a camera intended for the Japanese market. To change the display 
language from Japanese in this case, use the procedure under “Specifying the 
Display Language (Language)” (page 161). Note that a version of this manual in 
the language you select may not be included with a camera intended for the 
Japanese market.
• Camera models sold in certain geographic areas may not support display language 
selection.
1.Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on 
the camera.
2.Use [8], [2], [4], and [6] to select 
the language you want and then 
press [SET].
3.Use [8] and [2] to select a date style and then press [SET].
Example: July 10, 2012
YY/MM/DD * 12/7/10
DD/MM/YY * 10/7/12
MM/DD/YY * 7/10/12
4.Set the date and the time.
Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want to 
change and then use [8] and [2] to change it.
To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, press 
[0] (Movie).
5.After setting the date and time, use [4] and [6] 
to select “Apply” and then press [SET].
Configuring Basic Settings the First Time You Turn On the 
Camera
If you make a mistake configuring display language, date, or time settings with the 
above procedure, refer to the following pages for information about how to correct 
the settings.

NOTE
• Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they 
are subject to change.
• Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date 
settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults. 
Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and 
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for 
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded 
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card 
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 191.
– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
– SDXC Memory Card
Use one of the above types of memory card.
• Use only SD cards that are compliant with the SD Card Association specification.
• This model does not support use of an Eye-Fi card.
.Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds, and even can make it 
impossible to store High Quality movies correctly. Also, use of certain types of 
memory cards slows down data transfer and increases the time it takes to record 
movie data, which can result in movie frames being dropped. The Y indicator on the 
monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that frames are being dropped. In order to 
avoid problems such as these, use of an Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card is 
recommended. Note, however that CASIO makes no guarantees about the operation 
of any Ultra High Speed Type SD memory card used with this camera.
