Page 35: Memory Cards
MEMORY CARDS MEMORY CARDS This camera uses a memory card (CompactFlash card or microdrive) for image storage. IMPORTANT! • Make sure that the power of the camera is turned off before you insert or remove a memory card. • When inserting a memory card into the camera, make sure that the card is oriented correctly.
Page 36: Removing A Memory Card From The Camera

Page 37: Formatting A Memory Card
Memory Card Precautions • Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a memory card is installed in it. • Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards. Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran- teed. • Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe- nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the data stored on a memory card.
Page 38: Ibm Microdrive Precautions
• CASIO does not provide any servicing or maintenance support for the microdrive. • Note that CASIO assume no responsibility for any data loss you may suffer while using the microdrive. MEMORY CARDS E-39...
Page 39: Memory Card Folder Precautions
MEMORY CARDS Memory Card Folder Precautions • The camera automatically creates folders (directories) on the memory card and assigns them names based on dates (month and day). Any image you record is automatically stored into the folder that corresponds to the date it is re- corded.
Page 40: Power Supply
POWER SUPPLY This camera can be powered by a special lithium ion battery (NP-L7) or by household AC power. • Do not use other types of AA-size batteries. Loading the Battery Make sure that camera power is turned off whenever loading or replacing the battery.
Page 41 POWER SUPPLY Battery Operation Time Guidelines The table below shows the approximate amount of continu- ous operation you can expect under normal temperature (25 C) when the special lithium ion battery is fully charged. Note that these values are approximations only, and do not guarantee that you will be able to obtain such performance from your battery.
Page 42 Low Temperature Precautions • Your digital camera requires large amounts of current for proper operation. The amount of operation provided by its lithium ion rechargeable batteries is greatly reduced by use at temperatures that are colder than 25 C. The following steps are recommended when using the camera under low temperatures (below 10 C).
Page 43: Auto Power Off
POWER SUPPLY AC Adapter/Charger The AC Adapter/Charger is used for recharging the lithium ion battery and for directly powering the camera using AC power. • It takes approximately 150 minutes to bring a battery to a full charge. • Actual charging time depends on the battery capacity, the battery’s current charge level, the temperature of the loca- tion where you are charging, etc.
Page 44: Using Ac Power
• Should the cord of the AC adapter become damaged (exposed internal wiring), request a replacement from an authorized CASIO ser- vice provider. A damaged AC adapter cord cre- ates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Page 45: Power Save Settings
POWER SUPPLY • Be sure to turn off power before connecting or disconnect- ing the adapter. • Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adapter, even if the camera has batteries installed. If you don’t, the camera will turn off automatically when you dis- connect the AC adapter.
Page 46 Setting SLEEP and AUTO POWER OFF Trigger Times Pressing down the Power/Function switch, slide it to REC. Press MENU. Select “Options” “Power Save” Save”. • “Options” appears on the advanced menu only. Use [ ] and [ ] to select “Sleep” or “Auto Power Off”.

Page 53: Recording Images Under Low Battery Power
RECORDING Recording Images under Low Battery Power To protect against unexpected loss of image data, images are recorded one-by-one whenever the battery level is indi- cated as or lower. During the save operation, the mes- sage “Press DISP to cancel save.” is on the monitor screen.
Page 54: Using Focus Lock
Using Focus Lock Normally, Auto Focus automatically focuses on the object that is inside the Auto Focus Frame. Focus lock is a tech- nique that lets you lock the focus on a subject and then move the camera so the Auto Focus Frame is pointed at another subject when you record.
