When things don’t go right... 
Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause and Recommended Action
Power Supply
Power does not 
turn on.1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 15).
2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14). 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 144). Turn power 
back on.
2) The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14).
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 it.
Image Recording
Image is not 
recorded when the 
shutter button is 
pressed.1)If the camera is in the PLAY mode, press [r
] (REC) to enter 
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 properly.1)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 27). Use manual focus 
(page 63).
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 
allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.

The subject is out 
of focus in the 
recorded image.The image may not be focused properly. When composing the 
image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame.
The flash does not 
fire.1)If ?
 (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to 
another mode (page 32).
2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 14).
3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ?
 (Flash Off) is selected, 
change to a different flash mode (page 32) or select a 
different BEST SHOT scene (page 52).
The ? (Flash Off) 
icon flashes red on 
the monitor screen 
and the flash does 
not fire.The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO service 
center or your original retailer. Note that though the flash will not 
fire, you still can use the camera for non-flash shots.
Camera powers 
down during Self-
timer countdown.The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14).
The monitor screen 
image is out of 
focus.1) You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the 
image. Focus the image (page 63).

3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or )
 (Infinity) when 
shooting a close-up shot. Use the ´
 (Macro) for close ups 
(page 63).
There is a vertical 
line in the monitor 
screen image. Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to 
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD 
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate 
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not 
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is 
recorded in the case of a movie.
There is digital 
noise in images.1) Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark 
subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a 
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2) You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with ?
 
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and 
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 
32) or use lights for illumination.
3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the 
Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a 
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.

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 16).

lighting is bright, 
the faces of people 
in the image are 
dark.Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash

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 32), or adjust EV 
shift to the + side (page 41).
The focus frame 
does not appear on 
the monitor screen.Normally, turning off the camera while “Detect Smile” is

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.
