A recorded image 
was not saved.1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save 
operation was complete, which will result in the image not 
being saved. If the battery indicator shows  , charge the 
battery as soon as possible (page 21).
2) You may have removed the memory card from the camera 
before the save operation was complete, which will result in 
the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card 
before the save operation is complete.
Though available 
lighting is bright, 
the faces of people 
in the image are 
dark.Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash 
mode setting to <
 (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 
39), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 64).
Night shots come 
out bad.Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 52) when shooting 
at night.
• Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only)
• Night Scene Portrait (for shooting people against night 
scenery)
Subjects are too 
dark when shooting 
images in a 
seashore or ski 
area.Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause 
underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to <
 
(Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 39), or adjust EV 
shift to the + side (page 64).
Digital zoom 
(including HD 
zoom) does not 
work. The zoom 
bar indicates zoom 
only up to a zoom 
factor of 5.0.Time stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital zoom 
to be disabled. Turn off time stamping (page 109).
The image is out of 
focus during movie 
recording.1) Focusing may not be possible because the subject is outside 
the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range.
2)The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 119).

turned on.1) You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the 
camera or the camera may have been left with a dead 
battery. Check the camera setup (pages 22, 110).
2) There may be a problem with the camera’s memory data. If 
this is the case, perform the reset operation to initialize the 
camera’s setup (page 114). After that, configure each setting. 
If the language selection screen does not re-appear when you 
turn the camera on, it means that the camera’s memory 
management data has been restored.
If the same message appears after you turn power back on, 
contact your retailer or a CASIO authorized service center.
The time and date 
settings configured 
the first time after 
purchasing the 
camera are reset to 
their factory 
defaults when 
remove the

After that, the settings will not be reset if you remove the 
battery.
• If the time and date are reset to their factory default settings 
when you remove the battery after it has been loaded for 
more than 24 hours, it could mean that the camera’s setting 
memory is defective. Contact your retailer or a CASIO 
authorized service center.
Buttons are not 
responsive right 
after the power has 
been turned on.With large capacity memory cards there is a delay after the 
power has been turned on before the buttons become

Built-in memory capacity after formatting*2The above values are based on use of a PRO HIGH SPEED SD memory card 
(Panasonic Corporation). The number of images you can save depends on the type of 
memory card you are using.
• Snapshot, movie recording capacity, and voice recording capacity values are 
approximate and intended for reference only. Actual capacity depends on image 
contents.
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual 
values depend on the type of image being shot.
• When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a 
percentage of 1GB.
• Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 
29 minutes of recording.
• A single movie shoot with the “For YouTube” scene can have a maximum file size of 
2048MB or a recording time of up to 15 minutes.

Approximate Battery Life
All of the values provided below represent the approximate amount of time under 
normal temperature (23°C (73°F)) before the camera turns off. These values are not 
guaranteed. Low temperatures shorten battery life.
• Battery: NP-120 (Rated Capacity: 600 mAh)
• Recording Medium: 1GB SD memory card (PRO HIGH SPEED (Panasonic 
Corporation))
• Measurement Conditions
*1Approximate number of shots (CIPA) (Operating Time)
In accordance with CIPA (Camera and Imaging Products Association) standards
Normal temperature (23°C (73°F)), monitor on, zoom operation between full wide and 
full telephoto every 30 seconds, during which two images are shot with flash; power 
turned off and back on every time 10 images are shot.
*2Approximate playback time
Standard temperature (23°C (73°F)), one-image scroll approximately every 10 seconds
*3Approximate time using a 4GB SDHC memory card for a repeated cycle of 10 minutes 
recording followed by deletion of the recorded file.
*4Approximate continuous recording time
• The above values are based a new battery, starting from a full charge. Repeated 
charging shortens battery life.
• Frequency of flash, zoom, and Auto Focus usage, and the time the camera is on 
greatly affects recording time and number of shots values.
