Just press the up and menu button simultaneously while u power up your Ex-p700. U will be shown a white screen showing Ver 1.01 depending on ur camera version.
Next press down,down,disp,menu quickly(like about in 0.5seconds).You will be brought to the main menu with 12 selections.choose 6: Image Flag. press set. You will enter another screenwith 2 options. Choose 1: Bayer mode off. change it to on. then press menu button all the way to back out of the menus to your camera. Now every shot you take, you will have a accompanying raw format file with the Jpeg or tiff pix you take. You have to do this everytime you on the camera.

However, If you always want to shoot in raw. U do not have to always do that special sequence to get to the main menu. just open 7: ROM UPDATE in the main menu, which open up to 6 choices. choose 2: MICON UPDATE ON. From now on, everytime you switch on ur Ex-p700, it will bring u to the white main menu. If you do not want to see the white menu, just repeat to undo the Micon Update setting. But a word of caution, don’t play with the 5: System Initial or 1: Flash initial. My camera system went down. If you did that. Then you must go to casio’s website, download its firmware 1.01 for Ex-p700 and put it into your sd-card or camera’s internal memory(about 6mb) and got to reinstall the casio firmware or system. All previous settings and pix in camera’s internal memory will be lost.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tips.
BTW, mine was the P700.

I leave the sat, contrast and sharpness at the defaults. I find the auto WB, like most digicams, needs human override often, so I do so according to the light. The EX-P600, unlike some other cams, does not tend to overexpose, so I usually don’t even need to dial in exposure comp, unless the main subject is very dark or light.

I do make extensive use of the central AE metering and the AE lock.

You are lucky to pick one of these up. They are a “hidden gem” and are getting harder to find on ebay. I’ll rue the day when mine gives out.
