Somewhere on the camera it will list and ask which language you want, check english on the list. Good Luck

Inside the camera is a button battery used for storing settings. It most likely is dead. It takes soldering to remove it.

Good Morning :


Hope that you are wellJ

This is the response from Casio:

"The date and time will reset and the setting will need to be readjusted. The camera does not have a separate battery for the clock. The date and time will reset whenever the camera is not supplied power by the battery and USB cradle for about 24 hours."

Sounds a bit messy to me.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

And, remember; always include the type of Operating System and the type of computer you own, when you submit your questions. It simply makes for much faster solutions.

Have a wonderful morning.

go to menu and click each choice until you see a choice of language. English should be obvious ( I think). If that doesn't work, look in your manual for a way to restore it to factory settings. You might even just remove the batteries for about 15 minutes or so. When I replace my batteries I always have to reset my settings such as date. I hope this works
