Precautions
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the EX-P700.
All references in this manual to “camera”refer to the
CASIO EX-P700 Digital Camera.
•Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so
creates the risk of serious accident.
•Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your
own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the
risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave
maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized
service center.
•Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the
camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.
•Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out
of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally,
contact your physician immediately.
•Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating
a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s
vision and create the risk of accident.

INTRODUCTION
15
•Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage
if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true
with young children. When using the flash, the camera
should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the
subject.
•Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and
never let it get wet. Moisture creates the risk of fire and
electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain
or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.
•Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center. Using the camera under these
conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock.
•Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming
out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking
care you do not burn your fingers, remove the camera’s
battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the
power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center. Using the camera under these
conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. After
making sure there is no more smoke coming from the
camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service
center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
•Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device
besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor
besides the one that comes with this camera.
•Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other
cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.
•At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord
from the power outlet and clean the area around the
prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can
create the risk of fire.
•If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to
dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center.
•Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other
area where its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk
of accident.
•Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can
cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Always
keep backup copies of data by transferring them to
personal computer memory.

INTRODUCTION
16
•Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor
from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall
socket while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not
only make storage of the current image impossible, it can
also corrupt other image data already stored in file
memory.
Test for proper operation before using
the camera!
•Before using the camera to record important images,
make sure you first record a number of test images and
check the results to ensure that the camera is configured
correctly and operating properly (page 19).

INTRODUCTION
17

Data Error Precautions
•Your digital camera is manufactured using precision
digital components. Any of the following creates the risk
of corruption of data in file memory.
—Removing the battery or memory card while the
camera is performing a record or memory access
operation
—Removing the battery or memory card while the
operation lamp is still flashing after you turn off the
camera
—Disconnecting the USB cable while a data
communication operation is being performed

INTRODUCTION

Lens and Phase Differential Sensor
•Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of
the lens and phase differential sensor. Doing so can
scratch the lens and phase differential sensor surface and
cause malfunction.
•Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens and
phase differential sensor can interfere with proper image
recording. Never touch the lens and phase differential
sensor with your fingers. You can remove dust particles
from the lens and phase differential sensor surface by
using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the
surface of the lens and phase differential sensor with a
soft lens cloth.
•When aiming the camera, make sure that your finger
does not block the phase differential sensor.
Other
•The camera may become slightly warm during use. This
does not indicate malfunction.
•If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
Condensation
•When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or
otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature,
there is the possibility that condensation can form on the
exterior or on interior components. Condensation can
cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid
exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.
•To keep condensation from forming, place the camera
into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is
much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave
it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a
chance to reach the same temperature as the new
location. If condensation does form, remove the battery
from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a
few hours.
