Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-60L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-60). 
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.
Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction 
indicated by the arrow.
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.
Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it 
closed.

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 two days with no power supplied while the battery is 
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. You will have to re-
configure the settings after power is restored.
• See page 137 for information about battery life and memory capacity.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (flash off) for the flash setting 
(page 26).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 101, 102).

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 133.
– SD Memory Card
– SDHC Memory Card
– MMC (MultiMediaCard)
– MMCplus (MultiMediaCardplus)
Use one of the above types of memory card.
1.Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then 
open the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover, slide it in the direction 
indicated by the arrow.
2.Load a memory 
card.
Positioning the 
memory card so its 
front is facing 
downwards (in the 
direction of the lens), 
slide it into the card slot all the way in until you hear it click securely into place.
3.Close the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it 
closed.
• For information about how to replace the memory card, 
see page 118.

IMPORTANT!
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 14) into the memory 
card slot.
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off 
the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO 
authorized service center.
You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.
1.Turn on the camera and press [MENU].
2.Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].
3.Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete 
its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if 
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format 
the card.
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on 
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the 
camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can 
result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, 
operation, etc.

4.Continuing to keep the camera still, press the shutter button the rest of 
the way down.
This records the snapshot.
.If the image does not focus...
If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the 
image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.) Re-point the camera at 
the subject and try to focus again.
.If the subject is not in the center of the frame...

the center of the screen.

Your images will not come out clearly if you move the camera when you press the 
shutter button. When pressing the shutter button, be sure to hold the camera as 
shown in the illustration below, and keep it still by pressing your arms firmly against 
your sides as you shoot.
Holding the camera still, carefully press the shutter button and take care to avoid all 
movement as the shutter releases and for a few moments after it releases. This is 
especially important when available lighting is low, which slows down the shutter 
speed.
NOTE
• Take care that your fingers and 
the strap do not cover any of the 
areas indicated in the illustration.
• To protect against accidentally 
dropping the camera, attach the 
wrist strap and make sure it is 
around your fingers or wrist while 
you are operating the camera.
• Never swing the camera around 
by its strap.
• The supplied strap is intended for use with this camera only. Never use it for any 
other purpose.
