Precautions
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the EX-Z50.
All references in this manual to “camera” refer to the
CASIO EX-Z50 Digital Camera.
Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so
creates the risk of serious accident.
Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your
own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the
risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave
maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized
service center.
Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the
camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.
Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out
of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally,
contact your physician immediately.
Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating
a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s
vision and create the risk of accident.
USB DIRECT-PRINT and PictBridge support (page 156)
Connect directly to a USB DIRECT-PRINT or PictBridge
compatible printer and you can print images without going
through a computer.
Bundled with Photo Loader and Photohands (page 184)
Your camera comes bundled with Photo Loader, the
popular application that automatically loads images from
your camera to your PC. It also comes with Photohands,
and application that makes image retouching quick and
easy.
INTRODUCTION
13
Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage
if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true
with young children. When using the flash, the camera
should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the
subject.
Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and
never let it get wet. Moisture creates the risk of fire and
electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain
or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.
Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center. Using the camera under these
conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock.
Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming
out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking
care you do not burn your fingers, remove the camera’s
battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the
power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center. Using the camera under these
conditions creates the risk of fire and electric shock. After
making sure there is no more smoke coming from the
camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service
center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device
besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor
besides the one that comes with this camera.
Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other
cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.
At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord
from the power outlet and clean the area around the
prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can
create the risk of fire.
If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to
dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,
immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery
and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power
outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center.
Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other
area where its use is prohibited. Doing so creates the risk
of accident.
Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can
cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Always
keep backup copies of data by transferring them to
personal computer memory.
Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor
from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall
socket while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not
only make storage of the current image impossible, it can
also corrupt other image data already stored in file
memory.
INTRODUCTION
14
Any of the above conditions can cause an error message to
appear on the monitor screen (page 202). Follow the
instructions provided by the message to eliminate the
cause of the error.

This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging
from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.
In areas subject to direct sunlight
In areas subject to high humidity or dust
Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject
to temperature extremes
Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the
sun
In areas subject to strong vibration
Test for proper operation before using the
camera!
Before using the camera to record important images, make
sure you first record a number of test images and check the

Data Error Precautions
Your digital camera is manufactured using precision
digital components. Any of the following creates the risk
of corruption of data in file memory.
Removing the battery or memory card, or setting the
camera onto the USB cradle while the camera is
performing a record or memory access operation
Removing the battery, removing the memory card, or
placing the camera onto the USB cradle while the
green operation lamp is still flashing after you turn off

Other abnormal operations
INTRODUCTION
15
Lens
Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of
the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause
malfunction.
Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can
interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the
lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles
from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them
off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens
cloth.
Other
The camera may become slightly warm during use. This
does not indicate malfunction.
If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
Condensation
When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or
otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature,
there is the possibility that condensation can form on the
exterior or on interior components. Condensation can
cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid
exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation.
To keep condensation from forming, place the camera
into a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is
much warmer or colder than your current location. Leave
it in the plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a
chance to reach the same temperature as the new
location. If condensation does form, remove the battery
from the camera and leave the battery cover open for a
few hours.

The [CHARGE] lamp may remain amber colored and
the charge operation may not start right away if you
try to charge immediately after using the camera
(which causes battery to become warm) or when it is
too hot or too cold where you are performing the
charge operation. If this happens, simply wait until
the battery reaches normal temperature. The
[CHARGE] lamp will turn red and charging will start
when the battery temperature returns to the
allowable charging temperature range.
If the [CHARGE] lamp starts flashing red, it means
that an error occurs while charging. An error can be
caused by any of the following: a problem with the
USB cradle, a problem with the camera, or a problem
with the battery or how it is loaded. Remove the
camera from the USB cradle and see if it works
normally.
The following are the only operations that can be
performed while the camera is on the USB cradle:
charging of the cameras battery, exchanging data
with a computer over a USB connection, and Photo
Stand operation.
If the camera does not work normally
This can mean there is a problem with how the battery is
loaded. Perform the following steps.
1.
Remove the battery from the camera and
check the battery contacts for dirt. If the
contacts are dirty, wipe them clean with a dry
cloth.
2.
Check to make sure that the AC adaptor’s
power cord is connected securely to the

If the same symptoms occur again when you place
the camera on the USB cradle after taking the above
steps, contact a CASIO authorized service center.
GETTING READY
35
The above values are based on a new battery starting
from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery
life.
Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,
zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power
turned on.
Tips to Make the Battery Last Longer
If you do not need the flash while recording, select
(flash off) for the flash mode. See page 59 for more
information.
Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features (page
41) to protect against wasting battery power when you
forget to turn off the camera.
You can also conserve battery power by using the [DISP]
button to turn off the monitor screen.
Low Battery Indicator
The following shows how the battery capacity indicator on
the monitor screen changes as battery power is used. The
indicator means that remaining battery power is low.
Note that you will not be able to record images while the
battery indicator is . Charge the battery immediately
whenever either of these indicators appears.

Power Supply Precautions
Note the following precautions when handling or using the
battery and the optional charger.
Battery Handling Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure to read the following Safety Precautions before
using the battery for the first time. Keep these safety
precautions and all operating instructions on hand for
future reference.
NOTE
The term battery in this manual refers to the CASIO
NP-40 Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery.
Use only the USB cradle (CA-24) that comes with the
camera or the optionally available rapid charger (BC-
30L) to charge the special NP-40 rechargeable
lithium ion battery. Never use any other charging
device.
Failure to observe any of the following precautions
while using the battery creates the risk of overheating,
fire, and explosion.
Never use any other type of charger except the
optional charger specified for the battery.
Never try to use the battery to power any device
other than this camera.
Never use or leave the battery near open flame.
Never place the battery in a microwave oven, throw
it into fire, or otherwise expose it to intense heat.
Make sure the battery is oriented correctly when you
load it into the camera or attach it to the optional
charger.
Never carry or store the battery together with items
that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead,
etc.)
Never try to take the battery apart, modify it in any
way, or expose it to strong impact.
Do not immerse the battery in fresh water or salt
water.
Do not use or leave the battery under direct
sunlight, in an automobile parked in the sun, or in
any other area subject to high temperatures.
GETTING READY
37
Should you ever notice any of the following conditions
while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately
remove it from the camera or charger, and keep it away
from open flame:
Fluid leaking
Emission of a strange odor
Heat emission
Battery discoloration
Battery deformation
Any other battery abnormality
If the battery does not achieve full charge after the
normal charging time has passed, stop charging.
Continued charging creates the risk of overheating, fire,
and explosion.
Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery
fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse
them with clean tap water and then consult a physician.
Be sure to read page 31 of this Users Guide and the
instructions that come with the optional charger before
using or charging the battery.
If the battery is to be used by young children, make
sure that a responsible adult makes them aware of the
precautions and proper handling instructions and make
sure that they handle the battery correctly.
Should fluid from the battery accidentally get onto
clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean
tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can
cause skin irritation.
PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
The battery is designed for use with this CASIO digital
camera only.
Use only the USB cradle that comes with the camera or
the specified optional charger to charge the battery.
Never use any other type of charger for charging.
Use of a battery in cold environments shortens the
operating time you can expect on a full charge. Charge
the battery in a location where the temperature is in the
range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging
outside this temperature range can cause charging to
take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.
Very limited operation following a full charge indicates
that the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Replace the battery with a new one.
Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol,
or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags.
Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead
to malfunction.
GETTING READY
38
BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure you remove the battery from the camera
when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery
left in the camera discharges very small amounts of
power even when power is turned off, which can lead to
a dead battery or the need for longer charging before
the next use.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68 °F) or
lower).
USING THE BATTERY
See page 31 of this manual or the instructions that
come with the optional charger for information about
charging procedures and charging times.
When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in
the camera or stored in its case.
USB Cradle and AC Adaptor Precautions
Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage
is outside the rating marked on the AC
adaptor. Doing so can create the risk of fire or
electric shock. Use only the AC adaptor
bundled with this camera.
Do not allow the AC adaptor cord to become
cut or damaged, do not place heavy objects
on it, and keep it away from heat. A damaged
power cord creates the risk of fire and electric
shock.
Never try to modify the AC adaptor cord, or
subject it to severe bending, twisting, or
pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire and
electric shock.
Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands
are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric
shock.
Do not overload extension cords or wall
outlets. Doing so creates the risk of fire and
electric shock.
Should the cord of the AC adaptor become
damaged (exposed internal wiring), request a
replacement from a CASIO authorized service
center. A damaged AC adaptor cord creates
the risk of fire or electric shock.
Caution!
GETTING READY
39
Use the AC adaptor where it will not be
splashed with water. Water creates the risk of
fire and electric shock.
Do not place a vase or any other container
filled with liquid on top of the AC adaptor.
Water creates the risk of fire and electric
shock.
Make sure you always remove the camera from the USB
cradle before connecting or disconnecting the AC
adaptor.
Charging, USB data communication, and using the Photo
Stand feature can cause the AC adaptor to become
warm. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet
whenever you are not using it.
Never place a blanket or any other cover on the AC
adaptor. Doing so creates the risk of fire.
Caution!

Compose the image on the monitor screen so
the main subject is within the focus frame.
The focusing range of the camera depends on focus
mode you are using (page 68).
You can compose images using either the monitor
screen or the optical viewfinder (page 54).
When using the optical viewfinder to compose
images, you can use the [DISP] button to turn off the
monitor screen and conserve battery power.

IMPORTANT!
Auto Pan Focus is enabled when the “REC” tab’s
“Auto PF” setting is turned on (page 69). With Auto
Pan Focus the shutter releases without waiting for
Auto Focus to be performed and the image is
recorded as soon as you press the shutter button all

Recording Precautions
Never open the battery cover or place the camera onto
the USB cradle while the green operation lamp is
flashing. Doing so not only causes the current image to
be lost, it can also corrupt images already stored in file
memory and even lead to malfunction of the camera.
Never remove the memory card while an image is being
recorded to the memory card.
Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that
cannot be detected by the human eye. When using the
camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience
some brightness or color problems with recorded images.
When “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting
(page 100), the camera automatically adjusts its
sensitivity in accordance with the brightness of the
subject. This can cause some digital noise (graininess) to
appear in images of relatively dark subjects.
When recording a dimly lit subject while “Auto” is selected
for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 100), the camera
increases sensitivity and uses a slower shutter speed.
Because of this, you need to guard against camera
movement if you have flash turned off (page 59).
Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to
appear “washed out”. This tends to happen when
recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect
against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from
the light.
About Auto Focus
Auto Focus tends not to work well if the camera is moved
during recording, or when recording the types of subjects
listed below.
Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast
Strongly backlit subjects
Polished metal or other brightly reflective subjects
Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns
Multiple subjects that are varying distances from the
camera
Subjects in poorly lit areas
Moving subjects
Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not
necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in
focus.
If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for
some reason, try using focus lock (page 75) or manual
focus (page 74).

About the REC Mode Monitor Screen
The image shown on the monitor screen in a REC mode
is a simplified image for composing purposes. The actual
image is recorded in accordance with the image quality
setting currently selected on your camera. The image
saved in file memory has much better resolution and
detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.
Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the
response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,
which causes some digital noise (graininess) in the
monitor screen image.
Very bright light inside of an image can cause a vertical
band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a
CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does
not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical
smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a
snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie (page
91).
Using the Optical Viewfinder
You can conserve battery power by turning off the
camera’s monitor screen (page 26) and using the optical
viewfinder to compose images. The optical viewfinder also
comes in handy when shooting in areas where the monitor
screen is difficult to view because available lighting is dim,
etc.
IMPORTANT!
The visible area framed by the viewfinder shows the
image that would be recorded at a distance of about
one meter (3.3´). When recording a subject that is
closer to you than one meter, the recorded image will
be lower than what you can see inside the viewfinder
area.

Since the monitor screen shows exactly what will be
recorded, always use it for composing images in the
Macro and Manual Focus modes.
Using Zoom
Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical
zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically
switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum
limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the
camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.
Optical Zoom
The optical zoom range is 1X to 3X.

zoom button to change
the zoom factor.

NOTE
The optical zoom factor also affects the lens
aperture.
Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against
hand movement when using the telephoto setting
(zoom in).
You can change the digital zoom setting during
movie recording, but not the optical zoom setting.
Make sure you select the optical zoom setting you
want to use before you press the shutter button to
start movie recording.
Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation
while recording with the Macro mode or manual
focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to
tell you the focusing range (pages 71, 74).
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
57
Digital Zoom
Digital zoom digitally enlarges the part of the image at the
center of the image screen. The range of digital zoom is 3X
to 12X (in combination with optical zoom).
IMPORTANT!
Digital zoom is disabled whenever the monitor
screen is turned off (page 26).
When you perform a digital zoom operation, the
camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the
center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image
enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the
original.

Record the image.
IMPORTANT!
The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times
when you record an image. The initial flashes are
pre-flashes, which the camera uses to obtain
information that it uses for exposure settings. The
final flash is for recording. Make sure that you keep
the camera still until the shutter releases.
To do this:
Have the flash fire automatically when
required (Auto Flash)
Turn off the flash (Flash Off)
Always fire the flash (Flash On)
Fire a pre-flash followed by image
recording with flash, reducing the
chance of red-eye in the image (Red-
eye reduction)
In this case, the flash fires automatically
when required
Select this setting:

About Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can
cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the
image. This happens because the light from the flash
reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction
is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two
pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in
the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for
the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash
operation for actual recording of the image.
IMPORTANT!
Note the following important points when using red-
eye reduction.
Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people
in the image are looking directly at the camera during
the pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter button, call
out to the subjects so they all look at the camera
while the pre-flash operation is performed.
Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the
subjects are located far away from the camera.
Flash Unit Status
You can find out the current flash unit status by pressing
the shutter button half way and checking the monitor
screen and red operation lamp.

Using Flash Assist
Recording a subject that is outside the flash range can
cause the subject to appear dark in the resulting image,
because not enough of the flash reaches the subject. When
this happens, you can use flash assist to correct the
brightness of the recorded subject, so it appears as if the
flash illumination was sufficient.
IMPORTANT!
Flash intensity may not change if the subject is too
far or too close to the camera.

When red-eye reduction ( ) is selected, flash intensity
is adjusted automatically in accordance with the
exposure. The flash may not fire at all when the subject is
brightly lit.
Using flash in combination with another light source
(daylight, fluorescent light, etc.) can result in abnormal
image colors.
Using the Self-timer
