Casio cameras have a number of different functions used by service technicians to test different functions on the camera. On this page I focus (!) on the option to display recording information on the screen.

UPDATE 25-July-2003

I received this email from Casio Support Centre Japan asking me to take down this page as too many people are stuffing up their cameras, necessitating EXPENSIVE REPAIRS which YOU MUST PAY for not Casio, as you probably have voided any warranty by using these hidden menus.

Heck even I managed to erase the White Balance and Gain Control settings on my camera and that cost me $$$ to fix!

You have been warned!!
Warning - you could stuff up your camera by erasing all or part of the on-board software or resetting all your favourite settings to factory defaults. You use these functions at your own risk, especially those that have no comment beside them.

Some notes about REC INFO mode:
There's obviously some info about aperture and shutter speed when you press the shutter half way e.g.

F2.3
1/250
but as to what
M2 
VP 
ST 
ED
BY 
RD 
FR 
all mean I don't know. The first 4 change as you zoom in and out and the last 3 only appear when you press the shutter half way.

As well there's the +number that changes as you move the camera about - it's small when the picture is dark (+18) and large when bright (+183).
