Setting the Current Date and Time
Be sure to set the date and time on the camera before using
it to record images.
The date and time kept by the camera’s clock is used for file
names, file information, and other purposes.
IMPORTANT!
• The time and date settings are cleared if the camera is
left for about 24 hours without battery and AC power
being supplied. If this happens, restore power and
make new time and date settings before using the
camera again.
• A flashing time display indicates that the time and date
(clock) settings have been cleared. Use the procedure
on the next page to make the correct time and date
settings.
• If you do not set the camera’s built-in clock to the cur-
rent date and time, all images are recorded with the
default date and time, which probably is not your cor-
rect current date and time. Be sure to correctly set the
clock before you use the camera.
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.
Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran-
teed.
• 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 load a full set of fresh alkaline or lithium batter-
ies. Power interruption during the format operation can re-
sult in improper formatting, and even damage the memory
card and make it unusable.
