General Precautions Liquid Crystal Digital Camera QV-10
Be sure to observe the following imporatnt precautions whenever using 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 repairs. 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 danger 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 units 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.

Picture composition without looking through a viewfinder
The QV-10s high-resolution, low-glare TFT liquid crystal display provides clear pictures even in bright light.
VIDEO OUT and digital transfer function for unlimited application of digital images
The VIDEO OUT capabilities of the QV-10 makes it possible to connect to a television to use images for presentations and other applications. Digital images can be transferred to a personal computer for storage and editing, or from a computer to the QV-10 for takealong convenience.

Video Printer TV

Personal Computer Video Tape Deck
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 transferring 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 Liquid Crystal Digital Camera QV-10

MEMORY ERROR message

The following error appears on the built-in monitor whenever the cameras flash memory becomes disabled due to malfunction or improper operation.
Whenever this happens, all of the digital images stored in the cameras 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 0C to 40C (32F to 104F). 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 temperature extremes Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun In areas subject to strong vibration

Other Precautions

Condensation
When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensation. 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.

Operation Reference Getting Acquainted

To record an image

Be sure to load batteries (page 25) before operation.
Connecting the Wrist Strap
Pass the wrist strap through the hole on the side of the camera a shown in the illustration. 1 2

Using the Cleaning Cloth

Use the cleaning cloth to wipe fingerprints and smudges from the LCD and lens. Be sure to avoid applying too much pressure when wiping the LCD. Too much pressure can cause permanent discoloration, abnormal images, and cracks.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Set to REC. Slide to the right to turn on power. Set to NORMAL.

Using the Soft Case

Keep the camera in its soft case to protect it when not in use.
Set to MACRO for close-ups. See page 40 for information on the difference between NORMAL and MACRO.

Power Supply 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.

Low Battery Indicator

A low battery indicator ( ) appears on the LCD whenever remaining battery power drops below a certain level.

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. 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.

Auto Power Off

Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any camera operation for a period of time. Power turns off after about two minutes in the Record Mode or after about five minutes in the Playback Mode. * To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as you normally do.

Using AC Power

To power the camera from standard AC power, use the AC adaptor (AD-C60) that comes with this camera.

AC power terminal AD-C60

AC outlet
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 cameras DIGITAL terminal (page 81).
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 warranty. 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.

Power Supply If the power cord should become damaged (exposed wires, disconnection, etc.), please purchase a new AC adaptor. Use of a damaged 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 periods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm. After use turn off the power switch of the camera and unplug adaptor from the AC outlet.

Recording Images

Recording Operation

Images

The following procedure provides the basic steps for recording an image.
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.
Enter the Record Mode. Slide the function switch to the REC position.

Changing the Aperture Setting.. Record Mode Displays... Using the Self-Timer... Displaying Images on the Camera's LCD.. Displaying Images on a TV Screen. Displaying the Memory Page Number.. Producing a Multi-Page Display.. Using the Zoom Function.. Using Auto Play... Protecting Memory Pages.. 67
Turn on the camera. Slide the POWER switch in the direction 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 cameras lens appears on the LCD. You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2 then 1).

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. 33 34

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.
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.
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.
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 message disappears. Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY position and view the image you just recorded. 35 36
Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the object on the LCD. Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim lighting. 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 possibility 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 lights flicker is occurring when the cameras shutter actually releases. Because of this, we recommend that you use incandescent lighting or some other non-fluorescent lighting whenever possible.

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.
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 moving the rest of the camera.
Rotates up to 90 towards the front
Rotates up to 180 towards the back
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.

NORMAL/MACRO Switch

The NORMAL/MACRO switch tells the camera how much distance there will be between the lens and the object whose image you are recording. The following table describes the conditions covered by each switch setting.
A Switch position A LCD when shutter button is pressed (in the Record Mode) B LCD when image is played back from camera memory B F8 ( ) Aperture F2 ( ) NORMAL 0.6 to 3.1meters For portraits taken indoors 0.3 meters to For general outdoor images MACRO 13 to 16cm For close ups taken indoors 10 to 24 cm For outdoor close-ups
* See page 42 for details on how to change the aperture. 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.
Operation Notes Exposure adjustment is generally expressed in terms of an exposure adjustment value. The exposure adjustment value is always set to zero whenever you turn on the camera. The exposure adjustment value is changed by 0.25 with each press of [+] or []. The range of the value is -2 to +2. The exposure adjustment value automatically reverts to zero whenever the shutter button is pressed. To reset the exposure adjustment value to zero without pressing the shutter button, turn the camera off and on again, or change the position of the function switch to PLAY and then back to REC.

Exposure Adjustment

This camera features an automatic exposure (AE) function that automatically changes the shutter speed in accordance with lighting. In addition, you can also manually adjust the exposure to compensate for backlighting, indirect indoor lighting, dark backgrounds, and other special conditions.
To manually adjust the exposure
Enter the Record Mode. Set the function switch to the REC position.
Use the [+] and [] buttons to manually adjust the exposure. Pressing [+] makes the image on the LCD brighter. Use it to adjust for dim indoor lighting and backlighting. Pressing [] makes the image on the LCD darker. Use it to adjust for bright sunlight.

Enter the Playback Mode. Slide the function switch to the PLAY position. Notes If you set the function switch to PLAY after recording an image, that image appears on the LCD first. The message MEMORY EMPTY appears on the LCD if there are no images stored in memory when you enter the Playback Mode.
Turn on the camera. Slide the POWER switch in the direction indicated by the arrow. The POWER switch automatically slides back to its original position when you release it. When power comes on, the page that was displayed when you last turned power off appears on the LCD. You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2 then 1).
Displaying Images on a TV Screen
Use the special video cable that comes with the camera to connect the QV-10 to a television as illustrated below, and you can then view the images stored in camera memory on the TVs screen. Important! The camera can be connected only to a TV that is equipped with a VIDEO IN terminal. Make sure that the power of both the camera and the TV are turned off when making connections.

Enter the Playback Mode and turn on the camera. Switch to multi-page display. Press the MODE button to change between the different display formats. Each press of MODE changes the display format in the following sequence.

Unused pages are colored gray.
Note The brightness of the images on a multi-page display may differ slightly from the brightness when a single image is shown. This is because the camera automatically uses the brightness setting for the brightest image contained in the multi-page display for all of the images.
* The memory page that is shown on the screen when you change to the 4-page or 9-page format is in the first (upper left) position in the multi-page display.
Selecting a Memory Page in a Multi-Page Display
You can use the following procedure to select one of the memory pages in a multi-page display. Then when you return to the 1-page display, the memory page you selected will be the one displayed. The following procedure uses the 4-page display as an example, but you can use the same procedure with the 9-page display.
