Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst
and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following
important precautions to avoid problems with batteries.
2. Insert four batteries.
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline
dry cell batteries with this camera.
Never mix old batteries with new
ones. Failure to do so can result in
bursting or leaking of batteries, creat-
ing the danger of fire or personal in-
jury.
Caution
• Always make sure that the positive +
and negative - ends of the batteries
are facing correctly, as noted by the
markings on the camera itself. Im-
proper loading of batteries can result
in bursting or leaking of batteries, cre-
ating the danger of personal injury or
soiling of objects nearby.
Be sure to use only AA-size Alkaline batteries. Never use
manganese batteries (see precautions on the next page).
•
Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the
batteries are facing correctly.

• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between
two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart.
ing battery power drops below a certain level.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burn-
ing. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious
damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as
soon as you notice they are dead.
• The batteries that power this camera normally become warm when
they lose power. This does not indicate malfunction.
When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set
of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect
only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure.
Standard Battery Life
Flash Memory
The following shows standard battery life of batteries when the cam-
era is used without interruption under normal temperatures. Lower
temperatures can cause shortening of the standard battery life.
The camera features flash memory for storage of images. Flash
memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image
data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If
batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the
AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory.
Battery type : LR6 (AM-3) alkaline dry cell
Battery Life : Approximately 2 hours
Approximately 96 images

Auto Power Off
Using AC Power
Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any cam-
era operation for a period of time. Power turns off after about two
minutes in the Record Mode or after about five minutes in the Play-
back Mode.
To power the camera from standard AC power, use the optional AC
adaptor (AD-C60).

• To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as
you normally do.
AC outlet
AC Adaptor precautions
• Never use an electrical outlet whose
voltage is outside the rating marked
on the camera. Doing so can create
the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Use only the optional AC adaptor
Important!
The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following
conditions.
• During Auto Play (page 43)
specified for this camera.
• When operations are being performed on a computer connected to
the camera via the camera’s DIGITAL terminal.
Caution
• Should the cord of the AC adaptor
become damaged (exposed internal
wiring or shorts), request a replace-
ment from an authorized CASIO ser-
vice provider. A damaged AC adap-
tor cord creates the danger of fire or
electrical shock.

Power Supply
• Always be sure to use the AD-C60
AC adaptor only. Using any other AC
adaptor can cause damage to the
camera not covered by the warranty.
The following procedure provides the basic steps for recording an
image.
To record an image
• When unplugging the AC adaptor
from the wall socket, be sure to
grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
REC
1. Enter the Record Mode.
Caution
•
Slide the function switch to the
REC position.
• Avoid an undue bending, pulling,
and twisting of the AC adaptor's
cord, and never try to lengthen the
cord by splicing it with other wire.
PLAY
2. Turn on the camera.
•
Slide the POWER switch in the di-
rection indicated by the arrow.
•
The POWER switch automatically
slides back to its original position
when you release it.
• Be sure to switch power off before connecting or disconnecting the
adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor,
even if the camera has batteries installed. If you don't, the camera
will turn off automatically when you disconnect the AC adaptor.
Even so, you run the risk of damaging the camera whenever you
disconnect the AC adaptor without first turning power off.
•
•
When power comes on, the image of the object that is in
front of the camera’s lens appears on the LCD.
You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2
then 1).
• The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after extended pe-
riods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
3. Set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to the NORMAL position.
•
For close-ups, set the NORMAL/
MACRO switch to MACRO. See
page 25 for details on using this
switch.
• After use turn off the power switch of the camera and unplug adap-
tor from the AC outlet.
MACRO
NORMAL
Note
• The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about
seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a
feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera
quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

How to avoid hand movement…
4. Record the image.
Any hand movement when you press the shutter button can causes
blurring of the recorded image. Note the following points on avoiding
hand movement.
REC
•
Compose the image you want to
record while viewing it on the
LCD.
MACRO
NORMAL
PLAY
• Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the ob-
ject on the LCD.
•
•
•
It is best to look at the LCD di-
rectly, and not from an angle.
• Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim light-
ing. The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance
with the brightness of the object whose image is being recorded.
Shutter speed is quite slow for dimly lit objects, increasing the pos-
sibility of blurring caused by hand movement.
Take care that your finger is not
blocking the lens.
Should the lens become dirty, use
the cloth that comes with the cam-
era to clean it off.
•
•
•
When the image is situated on the
LCD as you want it, press the
shutter button.
Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be
detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under
such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems
with recorded images. The actual extent of the problems depends on
what cycle of the fluorescent light’s flicker is occurring when the
camera’s shutter actually releases. For best results, use a commer-
cially available video lights.
Press the shutter button lightly to avoid moving the camera.
See page 22 for information on how to avoid hand move-
ment.
The message “WAIT” appears on the LCD for about six sec-
onds along with the image that was recorded when you
pressed the shutter button. You can use the camera to take
the next picture after the “WAIT” message disappears.
•
Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY posi-
tion and view the image you just recorded.
Infrared Light
Infrared light generated by a flash or other source can create image
color problems, such as red areas being recorded as green. Such
color problems will show up in the LCD while you are composing the
image.
Caution
• Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the
AC adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall
socket while the “WAIT” message is on the LCD. Doing so
will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it
can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera
memory.
21
22
Recording Images
Operation
• Any images recorded while the lens body is rotated so the lens is
pointed from the back of the camera are stored as mirror images of
the image that appears in the LCD before the shutter button is
pressed.
Shooting Images Outdoors
Strong direct or reflected sunlight can cause recorded images to take
on a greenish tinge. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s
optical pickup and it does not indicate malfunction of the camera. One
way you can try to minimize this problem is to set the aperture to [●]
(F8).
Changing the Lens Orientation
The lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is designed to
rotate. This means you can change the angle of the lens without mov-
ing the rest of the camera.
