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 18).
2) You may have removed the memory card from the camera 
before the save operation was complete, which will result in 
the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card 
before the save operation is complete.
Though available 
lighting is bright, 
the faces of people 
in the image are 
dark.Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash 
mode setting to <
 (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 
38), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 77).
Night shots come 
out bad.Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 55) 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 38), or adjust EV 
shift to the + side (page 77).
The focus frame 
does not appear on 
the monitor screen.Normally, turning off the camera while “Detect Smile” is 
selected for Auto Shutter will cause the camera’s face detection 
setting to change. You will need to change the face detection 
setting again after turn on the camera. You can tell the camera 
to remember the Auto Shutter setting by selecting “On” for the 
“Auto Shutter” power on default setting (page 73).
Digital zoom 
(including HD 
zoom and Single 
SR Zoom) does not 
work. The zoom 
bar indicates zoom 
only up to a zoom 
factor of 4.0.1) Date stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital 
zoom to be disabled. Turn off date stamping (page 138).
2) Digital zoom is disabled when some BEST SHOT scenes 
(Business cards and documents, White board, etc.) are 
selected. Select another scene (page 55).

							162Appendix
When shooting 
with Auto Shutter, 
the shutter does 
not trigger.Auto Shutter may not trigger when shooting under very bright or 
very dark conditions, or when shooting a fast moving subject, 
etc. If this happens, try changing the Auto Shutter Trigger 
Sensitivity setting (page 71), or press the shutter button all the 
way down to release the shutter and shoot the image.
The image is out of 
focus during movie 
recording.1) Focusing may not be possible because the subject is outside 
the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range.
2)The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 149).
Playback
The color of the 
playback image is 
different from what 
appears on the 
monitor screen 
when shooting.Sunlight or light from another source may be shining directly 
into the lens when you are shooting. Position the camera so 
sunlight does not shine directly into the lens.
Images are not 
displayed.This camera cannot display non-DCF images recorded onto a 
memory card using another digital camera.
Images cannot be 
edited (with 
resizing, trimming, 
date/time editing, 
rotation).Note that you cannot edit the following types of snapshots.

language setting (page 140).
Images cannot be 
transferred over a 
USB connection.1) The USB cable may not be connected securely. Check all 
connections.
2) The wrong USB communication protocol is selected. Select 
the correct USB communication protocol in accordance with 
the type of device you are connecting (pages 116, 125).
3)If the camera is not turned on, turn it on.
4) Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera if 
you connect via a USB hub. Always connect directly to the 
computer’s USB port.
Language selection 
screen appears 
when the camera is 
turned on.1) You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the 
camera or the camera may have been left with a dead 
battery. Check the camera setup (pages 19, 140).
2) There may be a problem with the camera’s memory data. If 
this is the case, perform the reset operation to initialize the 
camera’s setup (page 144). After that, configure each setting. 
If the language selection screen does not re-appear when you 
turn the camera on, it means that the camera’s memory 
management data has been restored.
If the same message appears after you turn power back on, 
contact your retailer or a CASIO authorized service center.

The time and date 
settings configured 
the first time after 
purchasing the 
camera are reset to 
their factory 
defaults when 
remove the 
camera’s battery.Load the camera’s battery and reconfigure the time and date 
settings (page 19). Do not remove the battery from the camera 
for at least 24 hours after configuring time and date settings. 
After that, the settings will not be reset if you remove the 
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.
Buttons are not 
responsive right 
after the power has 
been turned on.With large capacity memory cards there is a delay after the 
power has been turned on before the buttons become 
responsive.

*1
Built-in memory capacity after formatting*2The above values are based on use of a PRO HIGH SPEED SD memory card 
(Panasonic Corporation). The number of images you can save depends on the type of 
memory card you are using.
• Snapshot, movie recording capacity, and voice recording capacity values are 
approximate and intended for reference only. Actual capacity depends on image 
contents.
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual 
values depend on the type of image being shot.
• When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a 
percentage of 1GB.
• Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 
29 minutes of recording.
• A single movie shoot with the “For YouTube” scene can have a maximum file size of 
2048MB or a recording time of up to 10 minutes.
