USING A MEMORY CARD

104

USING A MEMORY CARD

You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by

using a commercially available memory card (SD memory

card or MultiMedia Card). 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 automati-

cally 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, that 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

105

To remove a memory card from the camera

Open the memory card cover.

Press the memory card

into the camera and then

release it. This will cause

the card to come part

way out of the camera.

Pull the memory card out of the slot.

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

battery, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO

service center.

• Never remove a card from the camera while the green

operation lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause the file

save operation to fail, and even damage the memory

card.

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 nonconformity with the SD

format, causing problems with compatibility, opera-

tion, etc.

• Note that data deleted by a memory card format op-

eration cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you

do not need any of the data on the memory card be-

fore you format it.

• Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes

all the files, even those that are protected (page 92).

Load the memory card into the camera.

Turn on the camera. Next, enter a recording

mode or the Play Mode, and then press MENU.

Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format,” and

then press [ ].

Select “Format,” and then press SET.

• To exit the format operation without formatting, select

“Cancel.”

Copying Files

Use the procedures below to copy files between built-in

memory and a memory card. You can copy all files from

built-in memory to a memory card, or you can copy a single

file from the memory card to built-in memory.

To copy all the files in built-in memory to

a memory card

Load the memory card into the camera.

Turn on the camera. Next, enter the Play Mode,

and then press MENU.

Select the “PLAY”

tab, select “Copy,”

and then press [ ].

Memory Card Precautions

• Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMedia Card with

this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any

other type of card is used.

• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenom-

ena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Al-

ways 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 re-

store normal operation by reformatting it. However, we rec-

ommend 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 us-

ing it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the

card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal im-

ages.

• Before starting a format operation, connect the AC adaptor

for power or check to make sure that the battery is at full

charge. Power interruption during the format operation can

result in improper formatting, and even damage the

memory card and make it unusable.

USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

110

USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

The USB cable that comes with your camera makes it easy

to connect to a computer that is equipped with a USB port.

You can also transfer images using the memory card, if your

computer is equipped to read memory cards.

Installing the Software from the CD-ROM

Before you can exchange files with your computer, you first

need to install the software contained on the CD-ROM that

comes with the camera.

About the bundled CD-ROM

The CD-ROM that comes bundled with the camera contains

the following software.

Photo Loader (for Windows/Macintosh)

This application loads image data saved in JPEG and AVI

format from a digital camera onto your computer.

Photohands (for Windows)

This application is for retouching and printing image files.

USB Driver for Mass Storage (for Windows/Macintosh)

This is the software that makes it possible for the camera to

“talk” to your personal computer over a USB connection.

If you are using Windows XP, Mac OS 9, or Mac OS X, do

not install the USB driver from the CD-ROM. With these op-

erating systems, you will be able to perform USB communi-

cation simply by connecting the camera to your computer

with the USB cable.

Internet Explorer (for Macintosh)

This is a browser application for reading HTML files. Images

loaded by Photo Loader are stored in folders called “Librar-

ies.” Internet Explorer displays the contents of a library on

your computer screen.

DirectX (for Windows)

This software provides an extended tool set including a

codec that allows Windows 98 and 2000 to handle movie

files recorded using a digital camera. You do not need to

install DirectX if you are running Windows XP or Me.

Acrobat Reader (for Windows/Macintosh)

This is an application that lets you read PDF files. Use it to

read the user documentation for the camera, Photo Loader,

and Photohands, all of which is included on the bundled CD-

ROM.

NOTE

• See the user documentation files (PDF) on the

bundled CD-ROM for details about using Photo

Loader and Photohands. See “Viewing User Docu-

mentation (PDF files)” on page 114 (Windows) and

page 117 (Macintosh) of this manual for more informa-

tion.

Computer System Requirements

Computer system requirements depend on each of the appli-

cations, as described below.

Windows

See the “Readme” file on the bundled CD-ROM.

Macintosh

See the “readme” file on the bundled CD-ROM.

for various languages. Check the CD-ROM menu screen to

see if applications and user documentation are available for

a particular language.

Getting Started

CD-ROM drive. This will

automatically launch the menu

application, which displays a

menu screen on your

computer.

on some computers. If this happens, navigate to the

CD-ROM and double-click “menu.exe” to launch the

menu application.

Selecting a Language

able in all languages.

On the menu screen, click the language button

in the upper left corner of the display.

library information and HTML files that are created

automatically by Photo Loader. In some cases, image

files may be lost.
