20 Most Recent Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z60 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

This is a 20 year old machine that has probably suffered with aging components and has stopped working because of that. At that age, boards will be obsolete as will any specific spares.

hi, you need to request to replace the lcd unit to the service center.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z600 seems to have a high failure rate with the CCD (Charged Coupled Device). Symptoms include over-exposures (white outs) on outdoor shots and thin horizontal lines across the entire image. I have the same camera with the same problem. Given the age of the camera (2006), it is probably not worth fixing.

I HAVE A RED BLINKING LIGHT, AS WELL. FIRST, I CALLED STAPLES, BECAUSE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED. AFTER A 10 MINUTE TUG OF WAR, WITH AN AUTOMATED OPERATOR, I WAS FINALLY CONNECTED TO A HUMAN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE AND IT WAS NOT COVERED ( BIG SURPRISE ). SO, I JUST CALLED CASIO @ 1-800-435-7732. A LIVE OPERATOR ( BONNIE ) CAME ON THE LINE WITHIN 2 MINUTES. SHE ASKED ME THE MODEL NO. ( EX-Z75 ) AND PURCHASE DATE ( CHRISTMAS '07 )...SHE SAID THAT IT HAS BECOME AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE LITHIUM BATTERY. A NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY WILL BE SENT OUT, TOTAL FREE OF CHARGE WITHIN 5-7 DAYS! NO PROOF OF PURCHASE WAS REQUIRED. CASIO IS A PLEASANT SURPRISE IN TODAYS CORPORATE WORLD.
WHILE POSTING THIS, I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE THE 9 VOLT BATTERY TRICK A TRY. AGAIN, I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED...IT WORKS! :)

Hey, I just had this problem with a Sanyo battery pack (and i thought it was the non-sanyo Li battery) and noticed it wasn't getting warm even 2 hours after "charging" and the red light was flashing - so i turned it off, disconnected the cable from the charger and realised it could go the other way, so tried that AND IT WORKED! i don't know what that cable is called, the 2-prong black cable, but give that a go (turn off in between!).

Call Casio Tech Support and tell them what's going on. They will tell you that you can send in your battery, charger and camera and Casio will send you a new battery after you send yours in. They will also tell you where to send your stuff. The only bad thing is that you will have to pay the shipping to get your stuff to Casio.

There is a program you can download from cardrecovery.com that will allow you to get your pictures back.

If you have enough skills and tools to open a camera, and build it together again, first order a new battery door and all spare parts, needed to put the camera together. While opening a camera, it could be you have to remove glued parts. If you can't buy a new door from Casio (I think they don't sell it to you if you are not a Casio certified repair centre), please don't even try to open the camera. On ifixit they show hoe to open electronic gear, but they never show how to put it together. You can look (at your own risk) how they open camera's.Perhaps even yours is on the site too: Repair Manuals for Every Thing iFixit

Your camera ay have another very small battery similar to what computer mother boards have. I think the baery you are charging controls mostly operation and flash.

batteries don't have a life forever. And no one can predict the life time of a battery. So many factors influence the lifetime. But if it is draining very fast, this mostly means it has reached the end of life. If the camera does not get excessive hot, it has nothing to do with the camera. It is just you need a new battery. To keep a battery in shape for a longer time you should charge it also when the camera is not used. Like at least 4 times a year. Always charge the battery a day before you plan to use it. Don't over charge, like charging it every day. Don't leave it in the bright sun or on a hot place. A new battery, should be charged and discharged a few times, before it gets a full charge. The "New" battery you bought, could be in stock for a long time. Special when you could buy it very cheap. Perhaps in a few days you say, he the battery works fine now. But if you did charge it 3 or more times and it still does not hold a charge. send the battery back (I hope you bought one with warranty)

you have to take it apart the card has a switch on the side which bumps a pin insided the camera which grounds out the camera to lock it. You have to take it apart and pry that little tab out just a bit so no connection and it will work great. I just did it and no issues.

"lens error" will only be fixed by sending into repairs. 800-706-2534 and keep choosing option 2. Tell them you have a lens error and they will tell you where to send it.

First of all, do not save any new file to camera's memory card.Take out memory card, and connect it to computer using a card reader.

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.
