and the Macintosh) and a special cable that allow you to transfer im-
ages from the QV-10 to a personal computer. Images are transferred

Certain requirements concerning your computer model and its oper-
ating system must be met to use the special software that comes in
this package. For details, see the Owner’s Manual that comes with
the Connection Kit.

• The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of preci-

About the camera’s backlight…
• The camera is equipped with a fluorescent light source to provide
the back lighting for its LCD.
• The normal service life of the backlight is approximately six years,
when the camera is used for about two hours a day.
•  Should the LCD image appear abnormally dark, take the camera to
your dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider to have the
light source replaced. Note that you will be charged for this replace-
ment.
• Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more time
than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in the image.
These conditions do not indicate malfunction, and normal operation
should return at higher temperatures.
