Reference

About the camera’s backlight…

• The camera is equipped with a fluorescent light source to provide

the back lighting for its LCD.

• The normal service life of the backlight is approximately six years,

when the camera is used for about two hours a day.

•  Should the LCD image appear abnormally dark, take the camera to

your dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider to have the
light source replaced. Note that you will be charged for this replace-
ment.

• Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more time

than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in the image.
These conditions do not indicate malfunction, and normal operation
should return at higher temperatures.

Battery Life .......... LR6 (AM3) AA-size alkaline batteries

Approximately 150 minutes continuous operation
Recording for about 96 images (one image per minute)
FR6 AA-size lithium batteries
Approximately 240 minutes continuous operation
Recording  for  about  180  images  (one  image  per
minute)

Dimensions ......... 66(H) X 139(W) X 40(D)mm /

2.6" (H) X 5.5" (W) X 1.6" (D)

• The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of preci-

sion engineering, with an effective pixel rate of 99.99%. This also
means, however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to
light or to remain lit at all times.
