Formatting a Memory Card

You can format a memory card to delete all of the data

stored on it.

IMPORTANT!

• Formatting a memory card deletes all images on the

card, even if some or all of the images are protected.

• Data deleted by a memory card format operation can-

not be recovered! Be sure to carefully check and con-

firm that you no longer need the data stored in a

memory card before formatting it.

To format a memory card

Slide the Function Switch to PLAY.

Press MENU.

Select “Set Up” “Format”.

In response to the confirmation message that

appears, select “YES” to start formatting the

card.

MEMORY CARDS

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

(CF-4x/CF-8x/CF-15x/CF-30x/CF-48x). Proper operation

with other memory cards is not guaranteed.

• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe-

nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the

data stored on a memory card. Because of this, you

should always make backup copies of important images

on other media (magnetic optical disk, floppy diskette,

computer hard disk, etc.).

• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting

the memory card (page 97). Reformatting a memory card

deletes all images stored on the card, but you can use a

computer to copy the images you want to keep to the

computer’s hard disk before reformatting your card. If you

plan to be recording images where you do not have ac-

cess to a computer, it is a good idea to take along an extra

memory card or two just in case you experience an unex-

pected memory card problem.

MEMORY CARDS

Memory Card Folder Precautions

• Folders (directories) are automatically created if the card

you are using does not already have similarly named fold-

ers (page 75).

• Up to 250 images can be stored in a single folder. Though

it is possible to put more than 250 images into a folder on

your computer, the camera will not display images past

250.

• Image files in camera memory are assigned names made

up of the date (first five characters) plus a three-digit num-

ber and the extension JPG/AVI. Names do not change

when you move or delete folders.

< Example >

001. JPG

Day: 01 to 31

Month: 1 to 9, A, B, C

(OCT) (NOV) (DEC)

Year: 98, 99, 00, 01 to 49

(2000)

• Formatting is recommended for any memory card that you

suspect contains corrupted image data (due to a DE-

CODE ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images)

or newly purchased memory cards.

• Before starting a format operation, load a full set of new

batteries (alkaline or lithium) into the camera or connect

the AC adaptor to power the camera. Interruption of cam-

era power during the format operation results in improper

formatting, making it impossible to use the memory card.

POWER SUPPLY

The camera features a two-way power supply that lets you

use either batteries (AA-size alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH) or

household AC current.

Using Batteries

See page 2 for details about how to load batteries into the

camera.

Standard Battery Life

This camera can be powered using AA-size alkaline, lithium

or Ni-MH batteries.

The battery life reference values given below indicate the

amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power

automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not

guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service

indicated. Battery life is reduced by low temperatures and

continued use.

• The above figures are approximations only.

• The above guidelines are based on the following battery

types:

Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA

Lithium: Energizer

Ni-MH (Nickel-metal hydride): CASIO NP-H3

• Battery life varies with brand.

• Figures are based on continuous recording under the fol-

lowing condition.

Flash turned off

Regardless of use of the camera’s flash, zoom function,

turning on and off the POWER Switch, as well as other oper-

ating conditions may affect the above values.

● About rechargeable batteries

• Use only the nickel-metal hydride batteries (NP-H3) that

are available from your dealer as options for this camera.

Proper camera operation is not guaranteed when other re-

chargeable batteries are used.

• Be sure to keep all four batteries together as a set at all

times, for both charging and powering the camera. Mixing

batteries from different sets can shorten overall battery life

and cause malfunction of the camera.

• Rechargeable batteries cannot be charged while they are

loaded in the camera.

POWER SUPPLY

Low Battery Indicator

The battery capacity indicator “ ” (shown only while the

image information display is turned on) changes to “

”

whenever battery power goes low. If you continue to use the

camera while “

” is on the display, camera power will au-

tomatically turn off. If this happens, replace all four batteries

with new ones as soon as possible.

• 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 mal-

function.

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.

• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use

it for more than two weeks.

• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection

between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batter-

ies apart.

• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them

by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.

• Never mix batteries of different types.

• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type

lithium or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) dry cell

batteries with this camera. Never mix old bat-

teries with new ones. Doing so can result in

bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the

danger of fire or personal injury.

• Always make sure that the positive (+) and

negative (–) ends of the batteries are facing

correctly, as noted by the markings on the

camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can

result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creat-

ing the danger of personal injury or soiling of

objects nearby.
