    What to do if subject is too dark when shooting images in a seashore or ski area with Casio EXILIM EX-ZS5 Digital Camera?
    • B
      Barry AnthonySep 1, 2025
      If your images are too dark when shooting in a seashore or ski area with your Casio Digital Camera, it's likely due to sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow causing underexposure. To correct this, change the flash mode setting to Flash On for daylight synchro flash, or adjust EV shift to the + side.

    Why images cannot be transferred over a USB connection from Casio EXILIM EX-ZS5?
    • L
      Lawrence HaleSep 12, 2025

Select the correct protocol for your device. * The camera may not be turned on. Turn it on. * Connecting via a USB hub may prevent computer recognition. Connect directly to the computer’s USB port.
