    Be sure to observe the following imporatnt precautions whenever us-
    ing the QV-10.
    • Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating
    a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the danger of
    serious accident.
    • Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own re-
    pairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electrical
    shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work
    up to authorized CASIO service providers.
    • Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it
    get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
    Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore
    or beach, in the bathroom, etc.
    • Should foreign matter or water ever get into the unit, immediately
    turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and
    contact your dealer or nearest CASIO service provider. Using the
    unit under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical
    shock.
    • Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the
    unit, immediately turn power off and unplug the AC adaptor from the
    power outlet. Using the unit under these conditions creates the dan-
    ger of fire and electrical shock. After making sure there is no more
    smoke coming from the unit, take it to your nearest CASIO service
    provider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
    • If the unit’s case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or
    otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn power
    off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your
    nearest CASIO service provider.
    • Never use the unit inside of an air craft or in any other areas where
    its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an accident.
    General Precautions 
    						
    							9 General Precautions
    • Physical damage and malfunction of this unit can cause the image
    data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure to always keep
    backup copies of data by recording them on video tape or by trans-
    ferring them to personal computer memory.
    • Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC
    adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while the
    “WAIT” message is on the LCD. Doing so will not only make storage
    of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data
    already stored in camera memory.

    Other Precautions
    MEMORY ERROR message
    The following error appears on the built-in monitor whenever the
    camera’s flash memory becomes disabled due to malfunction or im-
    proper operation.
    Whenever  this  happens,  all  of  the  digital  images  stored  in  the
    camera’s memory will be lost. You will not be able to view stored
    images or record new ones. Take your camera to your dealer or an
    authorized CASIO service provider as soon as possible after the
    MEMORY ERROR message appears.
    Operating conditions
    • This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0°C
    to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
    • Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.
    — In areas subject to direct sunlight
    — In areas subject to high humidity or dust
    — Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to tem-
    perature extremes
    — Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun
    — In areas subject to strong vibration
    11
    Condensation
    • When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise ex-
    pose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility
    that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior compo-
    nents. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you
    should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensa-
    tion.
    • To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic
    bag before moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder
    than your current location. Leave it in the plastic bag until the air
    inside the bag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the
    new location. If condensation does form, remove the batteries from
    the camera and leave the battery compartment cover open for a few
    hours.Other Precautions

    Power Supply
    The QV-10 features a two-way power supply that lets you use either
    batteries (AA-size Alkaline) or household AC current.
    To load batteries
    Be sure that camera power is turned off whenever loading or replac-
    ing batteries.
    1.Slide the battery compartment lock on the bottom of the
    camera in the direction indicated by arrow (1), and swing
    open the battery compartment cover as indicated by arrow
    (2).
    2.Insert four batteries.
    Be sure to use only AA-size Alkaline batteries. Never use
    manganese batteries (see precautions on the next page).
    • Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the
    batteries are facing correctly.
    Getting Acquainted
    26
    3.Close the battery compartment cover.
    • Press down on the battery compartment cover at the point
    marked A in the nearby illustration until the cover locks into
    place with a click.
    • Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries
    are facing properly when you load them in the camera.
    • Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for
    more than two weeks.
    • Never mix old batteries with new ones.
    • Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between
    two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart.
    • Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burn-
    ing. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
    Never load manganese batteries into
    the camera! Doing so not only results
    in shortened battery life, it also causes
    batteries  to  generate  heat  that  can
    cause serious damage to the camera.
    Always use Alkaline batteries only. Battery Handling Precautions
    Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst
    and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following
    important precautions to avoid problems with batteries.
    Caution
    A
    27 • Never mix batteries of different types.
    • Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious
    damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as
    soon as you notice they are dead.
    Standard Battery Life
    You can generally expect to get about 120 minutes of operation from
    a fresh set of LR6 (AM3) Alkaline batteries at normal temperature.
    Note that battery life is shortened by extreme cold.Power Supply
    Getting Acquainted
    28
    Low Battery Indicator
    A low battery indicator () appears on the LCD whenever remain-
    ing battery power drops below a certain level.
    When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set
    of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect
    only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure.
    Flash Memory
    The  QV-10  features  flash  memory  for  storage  of  images.  Flash
    memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image
    data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If
    batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the
    AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory. 
    						
    							29 Power Supply
    Auto Power Off
    Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any cam-
    era operation for a period of time. Power turns off after about two
    minutes in the Record Mode or after about five minutes in the Play-
    back Mode.
    * To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as
    you normally do.
    Important!
    The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following
    conditions.
    • During Auto Play (page 59)
    • When operations are being performed on a computer connected to
    the camera via the camera’s DIGITAL terminal (page 81).
    Getting Acquainted
    30
    AD-C60
    Using AC Power
    To power the camera from standard AC power, use the AC adaptor
    (AD-C60) that comes with this camera.
    AC Adaptor precautions
    • Always be sure to use the AD-C60
    AC adaptor only. Using any other
    AC adaptor can cause damage to
    the camera not covered by the war-
    ranty.
    • When  unplugging  the  AC  adaptor
    from  the  wall  socket,  be  sure  to
    grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
    • Avoid  an  undue  bending,  pulling,
    and  twisting  of  the  AC  adaptor's
    cord, and never try to lengthen the
    cord by splicing it with other wire.
    AC outlet
    Caution
    AC power terminal
    31 Power Supply
    • If the power cord should become damaged (exposed wires, discon-
    nection, etc.), please purchase a new AC adaptor. Use of a dam-
    aged power cord may cause fire or electrical shock.
    • Be sure to switch power off before connecting or disconnecting the
    adaptor.
    • Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor,
    even if the camera has batteries installed. It you don't the camera
    will turn off automatically when you disconnect the AC adaptor.
    Even so, you run the risk of damaging the camera whenever you
    disconnect the AC adaptor without first turning power off.
    • The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after extended pe-
    riods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
    • After use turn off the power switch of the camera and unplug adap-
    tor from the AC outlet.

    Operation
    This section explains how to actually operate the camera. It includes
    information on adjustments you can make when recording an image,
    various formats you can use when viewing images stored in memory,
    and how to delete images from memory.
    Operation
    34Recording Images
    The following procedure provides the basic steps for recording an
    image.
    To record an image
    1.Enter the Record Mode.
    • Slide  the  function  switch  to  the
    REC position.
    2.Turn on the camera.
    • Slide the POWER switch in the di-
    rection indicated by the arrow.
    • The POWER switch automatically
    slides back to its original position
    when you release it.
    • When power comes on, the image of the object that is in
    front of the camera’s lens appears on the LCD.
    • You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2
    then 1).
    3.Set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to the NORMAL position.
    • If the object whose image you are
    recording is about 15 centimeters
    from the lens (about 6 inches), set
    the  NORMAL/MACRO  switch  to
    MACRO. See page 42 for details
    on using this switch.
    Note
    • The QV-10 is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about
    seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a
    feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera
    quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

    4. Record the image.
    • Compose  the  image  you  want  to
    record while viewing it on the LCD.
    • It is best to look at the LCD directly,
    and not from an angle.
    • Take  care  that  your  finger  is  not
    blocking the lens.
    • When  the  image  is  situated  on  the
    LCD as you want it, press the shutter
    button.
    • Press  the  shutter  button  lightly  to
    avoid moving the camera. See page
    36  for  information  on  how  to  avoid
    hand movement.
    • The message “WAIT” appears on the
    LCD  for  about  four  seconds  along
    with  the  image  that  was  recorded
    when you pressed the shutter button.
    You can use the camera to take the
    next  picture  after  the  “WAIT”  mes-
    sage disappears.
    • Here you could change the function
    switch to the PLAY position and view
    the image you just recorded.
    Operation

    How to avoid hand movement…
    Any hand movement when you press the shutter button can causes
    blurring of the recorded image. Note the following points on avoiding
    hand movement.
    • Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the ob-
    ject on the LCD.
    • Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim light-
    ing. The QV-10 automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance
    with the brightness of the object whose image is being recorded.
    Shutter speed is quite slow for dimly lit objects, increasing the pos-
    sibility of blurring caused by hand movement.
    Fluorescent Lighting
    Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be
    detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under
    such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems
    with recorded images. The actual extent of the problems depends on
    what cycle of the fluorescent light’s flicker is occurring when the
    camera’s shutter actually releases. Because of this, we recommend
    that you use incandescent lighting or some other non-fluorescent
    lighting whenever possible.
    • Never open the battery compartment
    cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from
    the camera or unplug it from the wall
    socket while the “WAIT” message is
    on  the  LCD.  Doing  so  will  not  only
    make storage of the current image im-
    possible, it can also corrupt other im-
    age  data  already  stored  in  camera
    memory.
    Caution

    Infrared Light
    Infrared light generated by a flash or other source can create image
    color problems, such as red areas being recorded as green. Such
    color problems will show up in the LCD while you are composing the
    image.
    Operation

    Changing the Lens Orientation
    The lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is designed to
    rotate. This means you can change the angle of the lens without mov-
    ing the rest of the camera.
    Rotates up to 180° towards the back Rotates up to 90
    ° towards the front
    39 Recording Images
    • Any images recorded while the lens body is rotated so the lens is
    pointed from the back of the camera are stored as mirror images of
    the image that appears in the LCD before the shutter button is
    pressed.
    Important!
    • Do not apply excessive force when rotating the lens body. Doing so
    can cause serious damage to the lens.
    • Do not carry the camera or move it around while holding onto only
    the lens body.
    • Return the lens body to its normal position (with the lens pointing
    from the front of the camera) before storing the camera.
