Page 53: Basic Image Recording
This section describes the basic procedure for recording an image. Recording an Image Specifying the Recording Mode Your CASIO digital camera has three recording modes, each of which is described below. Before recording an image, use the procedure below to select the applicable recording mode.
Page 54: Aiming The Camera
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Aiming the Camera Use both hands to hold the camera still when shooting an image. Holding the camera with one hand increases the chance of movement, which can blur your images. • Horizontal • Vertical IMPORTANT! • Make sure your fingers and the strap do not block the flash or lens.
Page 55: Recording An Image
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Recording an Image Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you record are stored in the camera’s built-in memory, or to a memory card if you have one loaded in the camera. •...
Page 56 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Compose the image on the monitor screen so the main subject is within the focus frame. • The focusing range of the camera depends on focus mode you are using (page 72). • You can compose images using either the monitor screen or the optical viewfinder (page 59).
Page 57: Recording Precautions
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING After making sure that the image is focused properly, press the shutter button the rest of the way down to record. • The number of images that can be stored in memory depends on the resolution setting you are using (pages 70, 71, 206).
Page 58: About Auto Focus
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING • When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 100), the camera increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed. Because of this, you need to guard against camera movement if you have flash turned off (page 63).
Page 59: About The Rec Mode Monitor Screen
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING About the REC Mode Monitor Screen • The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual image is recorded in accordance with the image quality setting currently selected on your camera. The image saved in file memory has much better resolution and detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.
Page 60: Using Zoom
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING • The monitor screen turns on automatically whenever you select the Macro mode or Manual Focus mode. Always use the monitor screen to compose images in these modes. Using Zoom Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom.
Page 61 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Zoom out Record the image. NOTE • The optical zoom factor also affects the lens aperture. • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against hand movement when using the telephoto setting (zoom in). • Optical zoom is disabled during movie recording, but Zoom in digital zoom is enabled.
Page 62: Digital Zoom
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Digital Zoom Digital zoom is activated after you reach the maximum optical zoom factor (3X). It enlarges the part of the image at the center of the image screen. The range of the digital zoom factor is shown below. Digital Zoom Factor Range: 3X to 12X (in combination with optical zoom)
Page 63: Using The Flash
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING IMPORTANT! • Digital zoom is disabled whenever the monitor screen is turned off (page 32). • When you perform a digital zoom operation, the camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the original.
Page 64 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING To do this: Have the flash fire automatically when required (Auto Flash) Turn off the flash (Flash Off) Always fire the flash (Flash On) Fire a pre-flash followed by image recording with flash, reducing the chance of red-eye in the image (Red- eye reduction) In this case, the flash fires automatically when required...
Page 65: Flash Unit Status
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Flash Unit Status You can find out the current flash unit status by pressing the shutter button half way and checking the monitor screen and red operation lamp. indicator is also Red operation lamp * shown on the monitor screen when the flash unit is ready to fire.
Page 66: Using Flash Assist
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Using Flash Assist Recording a subject that is outside the flash range can cause the subject to appear dark in the resulting image, because not enough of the flash reaches the subject. When this happens, you can use flash assist to correct the brightness of the recorded subject, so it appears as if the flash illumination was sufficient.
Page 67: Flash Precautions
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Flash Flash Precautions • Take care that your fingers do not block the flash when you hold the camera. Covering the flash with your finger can greatly reduce its effectiveness. • You may not be able to achieve the desired results using a flash if the subject is too close or too far away.
Page 68: Using The Self-Timer
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Using the Self-timer The self-timer lets you select either a 2-second or 10- second delay of the shutter release after you press the shutter button. A Triple Self-timer feature lets you perform three consecutive self-timer operations to record three images.
Page 69 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Self-timer lamp Record the image. • When you press the shutter button, the self- timer lamp flashes as the countdown progresses, and then the shutter releases after the self-timer reaches the end of its countdown. • You can interrupt an ongoing self-timer countdown by pressing the shutter button while the self-timer lamp is flashing.
Page 70: Specifying Image Size
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Specifying Image Size “Image size” is the size of the image, expressed as the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. A “pixel” is one of the many tiny dots that make up the image. More pixels provide finer detail when an image is printed, but a higher pixel count also causes the image’s file size of to be larger.
Page 71: Specifying Image Quality
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Specifying Image Quality Compressing an image before storage can cause a deterioration of its quality. The more an image is compressed, the greater the loss of quality. The image quality setting specifies the compression ratio to be used when an image is stored in memory.

Page 93: Recording Images Of Business Cards And Documents (Business Shot)
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Recording Images of Business Cards and Documents (Business Shot) Recording a business card, document, white board, or similarly shaped object from an angle can cause the subject to appear misshaped in the resulting image. Business Shot automatically corrects the shape of rectangular objects to make them appear like the camera was positioned directly in front of them.
Page 94: To Use Business Shot
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! • Before recording, compose the image so outline of the item you want to record fits entirely within the monitor screen. The camera will not be able to detect the shape of the subject correctly unless it is enclosed entirely within the monitor screen.
