							171Appendix
See page 22 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 and SDHC 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 158). 
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 158) to completely delete the data in built-in memory 
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.

Power Supply
Power does not 
turn on.1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 18).
2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 16). If the 
battery goes dead soon after being charged, it means the 
battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be 
replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-40 
rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The camera 
suddenly powers 
down.1)Auto Power Off may have activated (page 155). Turn power 
back on.
2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 16).
3) The camera’s protection function may have activated 
because camera temperature is too high. Turn off the camera 
and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again.
Power will not turn 
off. Nothing 
happens when a 
button is pressed.Remove the battery from the camera and then reload them.

the REC Mode.
2) If the flash is charging, wait until the charge operation 
finishes.
3) If the message “Memory Full” appears, transfer images to 
your computer, delete images you no longer need, or use a 
different memory card.
Auto Focus does 
not focus properly1)If the lens is dirty, clean it off.
2)The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when 
you compose the image.
3) The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is 
compatible with Auto Focus (page 33). Use manual focus 
(page 82).
4) You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting 
with Anti Shake or use a tripod.
5)You may be pressing the shutter button all the way without 
waiting for Auto Focus. Half-press the shutter button and
