Low Battery Indicator
The battery capacity indicator in the lower left of the monitor
screen (shown only when image information display is
turned on) changes to “
” whenever battery power goes
low. If you continue to use the camera, a battery warning
indicator “
” will appear in the center of the monitor
screen, and then camera power will automatically turn off. If
this happens, replace all four batteries with new ones as
soon as possible.
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can
cause serious damage to your camera. Remove batteries
from the camera as soon as you notice they are dead.
• The batteries that power this camera normally become
warm when they lose power. This does not indicate mal-
function.
Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak
or burst and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note
the following important precautions to avoid problems with
batteries.
• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use
it for more than two weeks.
• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection
between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batter-
ies apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them
by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type
lithium or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) dry cell
batteries with this camera. Never mix old bat-
teries with new ones. Doing so can result in
bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the
danger of fire or personal injury.
• Always make sure that the positive (+) and
negative (–) ends of the batteries are facing
correctly, as noted by the markings on the
camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can
result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creat-
ing the danger of personal injury or soiling of
objects nearby.

terminal
Using AC Power
Use the optional AC adaptor (AD-C620) to power the cam-
era from standard AC power.
AC Adaptor precautions
• Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is
outside the rating marked on the AC adaptor.
Doing so can create the danger of fire or elec-
trical shock. Use only the optional AC adaptor
specified for this camera.
• Should the cord of the AC adaptor become
damaged (exposed internal wiring), request a
replacement from an authorized CASIO ser-
vice provider. A damaged AC adaptor cord cre-
ates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION
Auto Power Off
(Battery Powered Operation Only)
Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform
any camera operation for a specific period. See page 32 for
details about how you can specify the Auto Power Off time.
• To restore power, simply slide the POWER Switch again.
IMPORTANT!
The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the
following conditions.
• During Auto Play (page 76)
• While the camera is being operated from a computer
or printer over a cable connection or infrared connec-
tion (page 100, 101).
• Whenever the AC adaptor is connected to the camera.
31
• Always be sure to use the AD-C620 AC adap-
tor only. Using any other AC adaptor can cause
damage to the camera not covered by the war-
ranty.
• When unplugging the AC adaptor from the wall
socket, be sure to grasp the adaptor (not the
cord).
• Avoid any undue bending, pulling, and twisting
of the AC adaptor’s cord, and never try to
lengthen the cord by splicing it with other wire.
• Be sure to turn power off before connecting or disconnect-
ing the adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC
adaptor, even if the camera has batteries installed. If you
don’t, the camera will turn off automatically when you dis-
connect the AC adaptor. Even so, you run the risk of dam-
aging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC adap-
tor without first turning power off.
• The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after ex-
tended periods of use. This is normal and is not cause for
alarm.
• After use turn off the POWER Switch of the camera and
unplug adaptor from the AC outlet.
• The camera automatically switches over to AC adaptor
powered operations whenever the AC adaptor is plugged
into the camera.
• Always use the AC adaptor to power the camera whenever
it is connected to a computer.
