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.

• 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.
