Procedure
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * Format
If a memory card is loaded in the camera, this operation will format the memory card. 
It will format built-in memory if no memory card is loaded.
• The format operation will delete all contents on the memory card or in built-in 
memory. It cannot be undone. Make sure you do not need any data currently on 
the card or in built-in memory before you format it.
• Formatting built-in memory will delete the following data.
– Protected images
• Formatting a memory card will delete the following data.
– Protected images
• Make sure that the battery is charged fully before starting a formatting operation. 
Formatting may not be performed correctly and the camera may stop operating 
normally if the camera powers down while formatting is in progress.

Configuring Monitor Screen Settings
You can turn display information on and off by pressing [8] (DISP). You can 
configure separate settings for the REC mode and PLAY mode.
Displays a histogram on the monitor screen which you 
can use to check the exposure of an image before you 
shoot it. You also can display the histogram in the PLAY 
mode for information about the exposure levels of 
images.
• You can use key customization (page 54) to configure 
the [4] and [6] buttons so they control the EV shift 
setting (page 33), and perform EV shift while viewing 
the results on the on-screen histogram.
NOTE
• A centered histogram does not necessarily guarantee optimum exposure. The 
recorded image may be over-exposed or under-exposed, even though its 
histogram is centered.
• Due to the limitations of exposure compensation, you may not be able to achieve 
an optimum histogram configuration.
• Use of the flash and certain shooting conditions can cause the histogram to 
indicate exposure that is different from the actual exposure of the image when it is 
shot.

A histogram is a graph that represents the lightness of an image in terms of the 
number of pixels. The vertical axis indicates the number of pixels, while the horizontal 
axis indicates lightness. If the histogram appears too lopsided for some reason, you 
can use EV shift to move it left or right in order to achieve better balance. Optimum 
exposure can be achieved by EV shifting so the graph is as close to the center as 
possible. For snapshots, you can even display individual histograms for R (red), G 
(green), and B (blue).
Example Histograms
How to Use the Histogram
A histogram towards the left side results when the 
overall image is dark. A histogram that is too far to 
the left may result in “black out” of the dark areas 
of an image. 
A histogram towards the right side results when 
the overall image is light. A histogram that is too 
far to the right may result in “white out” of the light 
areas of an image. 
An overall well-balanced histogram results when 
the overall image is at optimal lightness.

Appendix
.Avoid Use While In Motion
• Never use the camera to record or play back images while operating an automobile 
or other vehicle, or while walking. Looking at the monitor while in motion creates 
the risk of serious accident.
.Directly Viewing the Sun or Bright Light
• Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the cameras viewfinder. 
Doing so can damage your eyesight.
.Flash
• Never use the flash unit in areas where flammable or explosive gas may be 
present. Such conditions create the risk of fire and explosion.
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so 
can interfere with the driver’s vision and creates the risk of accident.
• Never fire the flash too close to the eyes of the subject. Doing so creates the risk of 
loss of eyesight.
.Monitor Screen
• Do not apply strong pressure to the monitor screen surface or subject it to strong 
impact. Doing so can cause the monitor screen glass to crack.
• Should the monitor screen ever become cracked, never touch any of the liquid 
inside the monitor screen. Doing so creates the risk of skin inflammation.
• Should monitor screen liquid ever get into your mouth, immediately rinse your 
mouth out and contact your physician.
• Should monitor screen liquid ever get into your eyes or onto your skin, immediately 
rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes and contact your physician.

							110Appendix
• Should you ever notice leakage, strange odor, heat generation, discoloration, 
deformation, or any other abnormal condition while using, charging, or storing a 
battery, immediately remove it from the camera or charger unit and keep it away 
from open flame.
• 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.
