Quick Start Basics
Your camera has a built-in stand. You can pull out
the stand and keep the camera stable on a tabletop
or other surface while the monitor screen is tilted
upwards 180 degrees. When using the camera on a
tabletop or other surface for landscape (horizontal)
orientation shots, you can adjust the vertical angle of
the camera somewhat by changing how far you pull
out the stand.
IMPORTANT!
When using the camera on a tabletop or other
surface for portrait (vertical) orientation shots, pull
the stand out as much as possible so the camera
is stable. Pulling the stand out part way in this
case can cause the camera to become unstable
and fall over.
Even when using the stand to adjust the vertical
angle of the camera while shooting with landscape (horizontal) orientation, take
care to extend the stand far enough to avoid camera instability, which can cause it
to fall over.
Whenever using the stand, make sure that the location where you place the
camera is stable and relatively level.
Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps
below to load the battery into the camera and charge it.
Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-130)
for power. Never try to use any other type of battery.
