IMPORTANT!
•The snapshot image or movie that you select as the
startup image is stored in a special memory location
called “startup image memory”. Only one image can
be stored in startup image memory at one time.
Selecting a new startup image overwrites anything
that is already stored in startup image memory.
Because of this, if you want to return to a previous
startup image, you need to have a separate copy of
that image in the camera’s standard image memory.
Note that you cannot delete an image from startup
image memory. You can only replace it with another
image.
Configuring Power Down Image Settings
With the Power Down Image feature, you can configure the
camera so a specific image stored in camera image
memory appears whenever you turn off power. You can
specify a snapshot or a movie as the power down image.
■To configure power down image settings
1. Use the USB cable to connect the camera to
your computer (page 135).
2. Move the image data that you want to use for
the power down image to the top (root)
directory of the camera’s built-in Flash
memory.
•The file name extension will not be displayed if your
computer is configured to hide file name extensions.
Example: CIMG0001
•If your power down image is stored on a memory
card, be sure to copy the image to built-in memory
before removing the memory card from the camera.

OTHER SETTINGS
120
IMPORTANT!
•Only a snapshot (JPEG) or movie (AVI) file can be
used as the power down image.
•Note that the Power Down Image feature works only
with images recorded with this camera. The Power
Down Image feature may not operate properly when
another type of image is specified as the power down
image.
•Formatting the camera’s Flash memory deletes the
power down image.
•When both a still image and a movie are present for
the power down image, only the movie is used.
•Note that a power down image display operation
cannot be interrupted once it starts. Because of this,
you should select a relatively short movie when using
a movie file as the power down image.
3. Change the name of the file to one of the
following.
Snapshot Image: ENDING.JPG
Movie Image: ENDING.AVI
•Input the following file name only (without file name
extension) if your computer is configured to hide file
name extensions.
File Name: ENDING
•Your camera is now configured to display a power
down image. The power down image will appear any
time you press the power button to turn off the
camera. The power down image appears regardless
of whether or not your camera has a memory card
loaded in it.

USING A MEMORY CARD
129
USING A MEMORY CARD
You can expand the storage
capabilities of your camera by using
a commercially available memory
card (SD memory card or
MultiMediaCard). You can also
copy files from built-in flash
memory to a memory card and from
a memory card to flash memory.
•Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When
you insert a memory card, however, the camera
automatically stores files to the card.
•Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a
memory card is installed in the camera.
IMPORTANT!
•Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or
removing a memory card.
•Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it.
Never try to force a memory card into the slot when
you feel resistance.
•See the instructions that come with the memory card
for information about how to use it.
•Certain types of cards can slow down processing
speeds.
•SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which
you can use to protect against accidental deletion of
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an
SD memory card, you must remove write protection
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete
any of its files.

USING A MEMORY CARD

131
Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored
on it.
IMPORTANT!
•Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card.
Formatting a memory card on a computer and then
using it in the camera can slow down data
processing by the camera. In the case of an SD card,
formatting on a computer can result in non-
conformity with the SD format, causing problems with
compatibility, operation, etc.
•Note that data deleted by a memory card format
operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure
you do not need any of the data on the memory card
before you format it.
•Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes
all the files, even those that are protected (page
105).
IMPORTANT!
•Never insert any other object besides a memory card
into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk
of damage to the camera and card.
•Should water or any foreign object ever get into the
card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove
the batteries, and contact your dealer or nearest
CASIO authorized service center.
•Never remove a card from the camera while the
operation lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause the
file save operation to fail, and even damage the
memory card.

Memory Card Precautions
•Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with
this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when
any other type of card is used.
•Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other
phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even
lost. Always make sure that you always back up important
data on other media (MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.).
•If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can
restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we
recommend that you always take along more than one
memory card whenever using the camera far away from
the home or office.
•We recommend that you format a memory card before
using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever
the card you are using seems to be the cause of
abnormal images.
•Before starting a format operation, check to make sure
that the batteries are fully charged. Power interruption
during the format operation can result in improper
formatting, and even damage the memory card and make
it unusable.

VIEWING IMAGES ON A COMPUTER
135
VIEWING IMAGES ON A COMPUTER
After using the USB cable to establish a USB connection
between the camera and your computer, you can use your
computer to view images in file memory and copy images
to your computer’s hard disk or other storage media. In
order to do this, you first need to install the USB driver
located on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the
camera onto your computer. If you have a Macintosh
running Mac OS 9 or OS X (10.1, 10.2 or higher), use the
standard USB driver that comes with your OS.
Note that the procedure you need to perform depends on
whether you are using computer running under Windows
(see below) or a Macintosh (see page 140).
Using the Camera with a Windows
Computer
The following are the general steps for viewing and copying
files from a computer running under Windows. You can find
details about each operation in the procedures that follow
below. Note that you should also refer to the
documentation that comes with your computer for other
information about USB connections, etc.
1. If you are running Windows 98, Me, or 2000, install
the USB driver onto your computer.
•You need to perform this step only once, the first
time you connect to your computer.
•If you are running Windows XP, you do not need to
install the USB driver.
2. Use the USB cable to establish a connection between
the camera and computer.
3. View and copy the images you want.

VIEWING IMAGES ON A COMPUTER
136
1. What you should do first depends on whether
your computer is running under Windows 98/
Me/2000 or Windows XP.
■Windows 98/Me/2000 Users
•Start from step 2 to install the USB driver.
•Note that the example installation presented here
uses Windows 98.
■Windows XP Users
•Installation of the USB driver is not required, so jump
directly to step 6.
2. Set the bundled CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
drive of your computer.
3. On the menu screen that appears, click the
language button in the upper left corner of the
display, and then select a language from the

IMPORTANT!
•You need the optional AC adaptor (AD-C30) in order
to connect the camera to a computer using the USB
cable. If you do not use the AC adaptor to power the
camera, it will be powered only by its batteries, which
creates the risk of sudden power failure during file
transfer should batteries go low. Such power failure
can cause corruption of camera memory and/or your
memory card.
•Do not try to establish a connection between the
camera and computer before installing the USB
driver onto the computer.
•If you want to transfer files from the camera’s built-in
memory to a computer, make sure there is no
memory card loaded in the camera before you
connect the USB cable.
