Shooting with BEST SHOT
With BEST SHOT (page 70), you can select the sample scene that matches the type 
of movie you are trying to shoot and the camera will change its setup accordingly, for 
beautiful movies every time. Selecting the “Natural Green” BEST SHOT scene, for 
example, will shoot images with vivid green trees and grass.
• Movie recording is not supported with the following BEST SHOT scenes.
Multi SR Zoom, Lag Correction, High Speed Anti Shake
Minimizing the Effects of Camera Movement during Movie Recording
You can configure the camera to minimize the effects of camera movement during 
FHD and STD movie recording (page 88). Note, however, that this does not prevent 
image blur due to subject movement.
Your camera has built-in microphones that can be used to record audio (stereo) 
during movie recording.
.Recording Precautions
The camera also records audio. Note the following points 
when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphones are not blocked by your 
fingers, etc.
– Good audio recording results are not possible when the 
camera is too far away from what you are trying to 
record.
– Performing a zoom operation while shooting can cause zoom and/or auto focus 
noise to be in the audio recording.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause button noise to be picked 
up in the audio.
• When shooting with the “HS” movie mode at a frame rate setting of “30-240 fps”, 
audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at 30 fps. Audio is not recorded 
at any other frame rates.
IMPORTANT!
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become 
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature is relatively high can 
cause digital noise (dots of light) to appear in the movie image. A rise in the 
camera’s internal temperature also may force movie recording to stop 
automatically. If this happens, stop recording and allow the camera to cool down, 
which should cause normal operation to resume.
• Shooting a movie using the camera’s built-in memory will cause movie frames to 
be dropped. Always use a high speed memory card (not built-in memory) for movie 
recording.

• 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.
NOTE
• Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie 
recording (page 45). Zoom is disabled during high speed movie recording. To use 
optical zoom for high speed movie recording, perform the zoom operation before 
you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
• Both Single SR Zoom (page 48) and Multi SR Zoom (page 76) are disabled during 
movie recording.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you 
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is 
recommended under these conditions.
• Except for High Speed Movie, Continuous AF (page 91) is performed during movie 
recording while “Auto Focus” or “Macro” is selected for the “Focus” setting.
• During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was 
when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto 
Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
• Face Detection is disabled during movie (FHD, STD, high speed) recording.
• The A, S, and M recording modes are not supported when shooting a movie, or 
when using the “Prerecord (Movie)” and “For YouTube” BEST SHOT scenes. In 
these cases, the recording mode is always t (Auto).
• The following BEST SHOT scenes are always shot using high speed movie. The 
current “» Quality” setting is ignored.
Child High Speed Movie, Pet High Speed Movie, Sports High Speed Movie
• The following functions do not support movie recording.

5.Use [8] and [2] to select the frame rate (recording speed) you want 
and then press [SET].
A fast frame rate (such as 1000 fps) will result in a smaller image size.
6.Record the movie the same way as you would a normal movie (page

Press [0] (Movie) to start and stop recording.
• During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was 
when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for 
Auto Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
• When “30-240 fps” is selected as the frame rate, recording always starts with a 
frame rate of 30 fps. You can switch the frame rate between 30 fps and 240 fps 
only while recording is in progress. Audio is recorded only while shooting at a 
30 fps. Use [4] and [6] or press [SET] to switch speeds.
NOTE
• The higher the frame rate (speed), the more lighting is required when shooting. 
When shooting a high speed movie, shoot in a well-lit environment.
• When recording certain types of movies, the image that appears on the monitor 
screen may be smaller than normal. When recording a high speed movie, there are 
black bands along the top, bottom, left, and right of the screen.
• When recording a high speed movie, light source flicker can cause horizontal 
bands to appear in the image. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
• Monitor screen content switching is disabled during high speed movie recording.

in front of the lens in a buffer that is continually updated. Pressing [0] (Movie) saves 
the pre-recorded action (buffer contents) followed by real-time recording. Real-time 
recording continues until you stop it. Prerecord Movie can be used when shooting a 
standard (STD) movie, a high-definition (FHD) movie, or a high speed (HS) movie.
• When using Prerecord Movie in combination with high speed movie, the buffer will
