Memory Card Precautions
• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a memory card
is installed in it.
• Be sure to use only CASIO memory cards. Proper operation with
other memory cards is not guaranteed.
• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phenomena
can cause corruption or even total loss of the data stored on a
memory card. Because of this, you should always make backup
copies of important images on other media (magnetic optical disk,
floppy diskette, computer hard disk, etc.).
• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting the
memory card (page 18). Reformatting a memory card deletes all
images stored on the card, but you can use a computer to copy the
images you want to keep to the computer’s hard disk before
reformatting your card. If you plan to be recording images where
you do not have access to a computer, it is a good idea to take
along an extra memory card or two just in case you experience an
unexpected memory card problem.
Memory Card Folder Precautions
• The folders (directories) (page 20) are automatically created if the
card you are using does not already have similarly named folders
(page 68).
• Any folders (created on the memory card by a personal computer)
other than those shown on page 20 do not appear on the camera’s
display.
• You can store up to 250 images in a single folder. Any images
above this number (placed in the folder using a personal computer)
are not displayed by the camera.

CAMERA
Renamed
Delete
• When calculating remaining memory capacity, the camera com-
pares the total capacity of the memory card with the number of im-
ages that can be stored in each folder. The value indicating the
number of images that still can be recorded is the lower of these two
values.
• Images in camera memory are assigned names that are generated
according to the following format:
<First 5 characters of folder name> + <3-digit number> + .CAM
The 3-digit number starts with 001 and is incremented for each ad-
ditional image. Deleting or moving images causes all following im-
ages to be renamed (renumbered) so there are never any breaks in
the sequential numbering.
Folder Names
Folders are named: CAMERA, BUSINESS, PRIVATE,
AAAAA, BBBBB, CCCCC.
