PRECAUTIONS Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall socket while recording images. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera memory.

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.

Operating conditions

This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0C to 40C. 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

PRECAUTIONS

About the cameras 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 replacement. Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more time than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in the displayed image. These conditions do not indicate malfunction, and normal operation should return at higher temperatures.

Monitor Screen

Recording
The image shown on the monitor screen during recording is intended for composition purposes only, so its quality does not match that of the image as it is recorded. The image is recorded in accordance with the quality setting made with the procedure under Quality Settings on page E-53. A dimly lit subject can slow down monitor screen refresh or cause static in the displayed image.

Playback

This camera is designed for high-speed scrolling of images during playback. Because of this, the playback image that initially appears on the monitor screen does not show the full resolution of the image as recorded. When you stop at the image you want, the monitor screen refreshes and shows the image in its full resolution.

RECORDING RECORDING

Using the Shutter Button
The following steps describe how to operate the shutter button so that Auto Focus has a chance to focus the image.

Basic Recording Operation
The following describes the basic operation for recording images.
1. Press the shutter button about half way.
The Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the image.

1. Slide the Function

Switch to REC.

REC PLAY

The REC position selects the Record Mode, while PLAY selects the Playback Mode.
2. Rotate the dial so its 2. Press the shutter button as far as it will go to
record the image. (normal recording) setting is aligned with the dot on the top of the camera.
3. Slide the POWER Switch
in the direction indicated by the arrow.
RECORDING The POWER Switch returns to its original position when you release it. Turning on power enters the Record Mode. If power turns off, use the POWER Switch to turn it back on again.
5. After confirming that the Auto Focus operation
is complete (the operation lamp lights green), press the shutter button all the way down to record the image.
Pressing the shutter button releases the shutter, even if Auto Focus was unsuccessful and the image is out of focus. After you record an image, the camera takes a few seconds to store it in memory. If you try to change to the Playback Mode while a save operation is in progress, the message Press DISP to cancel save appears on the monitor screen. Pressing DISP at this time cancels the save operation. Use of a tripod and the wired remote controller is recommended for slow shutter speeds and telephoto shots to avoid blurring of the image due to camera movement.
4. After composing the image on the monitor
screen, press the shutter button about half way and hold it there.
The cameras Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the image. The operation lamp lights green and the Auto Focus Frame in the monitor screen turns green when the Auto Focus operation is complete. Take care to avoid blocking the lens, distance sensor or light sensor with your fingers.
Carefully press the shutter button, taking care not to move the camera as you do.
RECORDING IMPORTANT! Auto Focus tends not to work well with the following types of subjects. Solid color walls or objects with little contrast Strongly backlit objects Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns Multiple images that are varying distances from the camera Subjects in poorly lit areas Auto Focus also may not work properly when the camera is unsteady or shaking. These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus properly, which is indicated by the operation indicator and the Auto Focus Frame inside the monitor screen remaining red. When this happens switch to the Manual Mode for focusing (page E-59). The following are the fixed focusing distances when Auto Focus is unable to focus. Well-lit Location: 1.5 meters minimum With Flash: Approximately 2 meters CAUTION Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the adaptor from the wall socket while the operation indicator is flashing green. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera memory. 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.

Flash On Flash Off Red-eye Reduction
RECORDING Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subjects eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with young children. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter from the eyes of the subject. Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or light sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these components and interfere with correct flash operation.

Light sensor Flash

The flash is disabled in the Movie Mode. This is indicated by the indicator. The flash unit will not charge when battery power is low. The indicator appears to warn you that the flash will not fire correctly, which may affect exposure of the image. Replace batteries as soon as possible when this happens. Red-eye reduction may not work well when the camera is not pointed directly at the subject or when the subject is far from the camera. In the Red-eye Reduction Mode, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with exposure. Because of this, the flash will not fire in a well-lit area. White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so the coloring of the recorded image may be affected by sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illumination in the immediate area.
Flash should be used for distances in the ranges shown below. Flash does not work well outside these ranges. Normal : Approximately 0.5 meters to 2.5 meters Macro : Approximately 0.1 meters to 0.5 meters Depending on operating conditions (type of battery being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 10 seconds for the flash unit to charge.
Changing the Lens Orientation
The lens of the camera is built into a rotating lens body. This means you can change the angle of the lens without moving the rest of the camera.
A. LCD when shutter button is pressed (in the Record Mode) B. LCD when image is played back from camera memory Any images recorded while the lens body is rotated so the lens is pointed towards 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 point up) before storing the camera. Never lay the camera down or store it with the lens pointing downwards. Doing so can cause bending of the ring around the outside of the lens. Always leave the lens cap in place on the lens except when actually using the camera for recording.

4. Compose the image and then record it.
Focus is locked when you record the first image, and this setting is applied to all subsequent images. The flash does not fire in the Continuous Mode. The interval of Continuous Mode shots may be longer than 0.25 seconds at slower shutter speeds. You may be able to record only four images in the Continuous Mode when using the Night Scene Mode, a fixed shutter speed, or a slow shutter speed. Do not start a Continuous Record operation when the low battery indicator is on the monitor screen. Storage of images recorded in the Continuous Mode to a memory card can take about 10 seconds (for five images). Never remove camera batteries, unplug the AC adaptor from the camera, or remove the memory card while images are being saved.
1. Slide the Function Switch to REC. 2. Press MENU. 3. Select Functions 1
Shutter Mode Continuous, and then press the shutter button.
Functions 1 appears on the advanced menu only. The indicator is on the monitor screen while the Continuous Mode is selected.

Using the Zoom Features

T (telephoto)

W (wide-angle)

Using Optical Zoom

Optical zoom enlarges the image by changing the focal distance of the lens. You can increase the size of the image by eight times using optical zoom.
3. Compose the image and then record it.
Brightness (aperture) is also affected by using optical zoom. Use of a tripod and the wired remote controller is recommended for slow shutter speeds and telephoto shots to avoid blurring of the image due to camera movement.
1. Slide the Function Switch to REC. 2. Move the ZOOM slider
towards T (telephoto) to zoom in on the subject, or W (wide-angle) to zoom out.

ZOOM slider

The camera performs an Auto Focus operation if you move the ZOOM slider towards T (telephoto).

Using Digital Zoom

Digital zoom produces a VGA size image (640 x 480 pixels) that can be double or four times the size of the original image. Using digital zoom and optical zoom in combination can zoom an image to 32X. IMPORTANT! The focus range for Auto Focus depends on the optical zoom setting as shown below.

See Using the Record Menus on page E-75 for details on making digital zoom settings.
The operation lamp and the Auto Focus frame do not appear while manual focus is in use.

Infinity Mode Recording

Use the Infinity Mode when recording images of scenery or objects that are far away. This mode performs Auto Focus in the vicinity of (infinity).
a number of times until the indicator appears on the display.

Using the Macro Mode

With the macro mode, you can record close up images of subjects located only 1 cm to 50 cm from the filter frame. In the macro mode, optical zoom is limited to the range of x1 to x1.6.

Movie Recording

You can record movies that are approximately 10 seconds long. Movies are recorded in 320 x 240-pixel AVI format. For details, see Using the Record Menus on page E-75. There are two types of movie recording: PAST and NORMAL. PAST lets you capture images of events that occurred before you pressed the shutter button while NORMAL records what happens after you press the shutter button. See Using the Record Menus on page E-75 for details on how to select the movie length. AVI files can be displayed and saved on a computer that is set up to support use of CompactFlash cards. For such a computer, install QuickTime 3, which comes bundled with the camera.

IMPORTANT! Auto Power Off (page E-41) is disabled whenever Slide Show is being used. This means you should not leave Slide Show running when using batteries to power the camera. Doing so can rundown batteries. Be sure to stop Slide Show and turn off the camera after you are finished. Pressing MENU while a Slide Show is in progress displays a screen that lets you change the interval within the range of 3 to 30 seconds. Note that all buttons are disabled while an image change is in progress. Wait until an image is stopped on the monitor screen before performing a button operation, or hold down the button until the image stops. Images copied from another digital camera or a computer may take longer time to appear.

Screen Saver

The screen saver function automatically activates Slide Show (which automatically scrolls through images) whenever you do not perform any operation for about five minutes in the Playback Mode. This protects the cameras monitor screen and the screen of a connected TV against burn in of a static image that is left displayed too long. IMPORTANT! The screen saver is enabled only when the camera is being powered by its optional AC adaptor. If you do not perform any operation for five minutes under battery power, camera power automatically turns off (Auto Power Off). The screen saver displays protected images only. The screen saver is disabled if there are no protected images in memory. Photo Loader will not send images between the camera and a personal computer while the screen saver is turned on. Make sure you turn off the screen saver before trying to perform any image transfer operation. Note that the screen saver is turned on when you purchase the camera.

FOLDERTYPES FOLDER TYPES
The camera automatically creates folders (directories) on the memory card and assigns them names based on dates (month and day). Any image you record is automatically stored into the folder that corresponds to the date it is recorded. Up to 900 folders can be created on a single card. The following shows a typical folder name. 100_0719
When you try to save the 251st image to a folder, the camera automatically creates a new folder and store the image there. The above maximum number of files and folders are absolute maximums. The actual number of folders and files may be less due to memory card capacity and the size of each image. Panorama images are divided into multiple images and stored on the memory card. See USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER on page E-103 for information about how files and folders are organized. If there are more than 250 image files in a folder (due to copying from another digital camera or a computer), only the first 250 (in name sequence) can be played back.
Up to 250 image files can be stored in each folder. The following shows a typical file name. 11070026.JPG

Protecting and Unprotecting a Single Image

Image files recorded with the CASIO QV-8000SX Digital Camera JPEG files stored using Photo Loader (1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file) DCF protocol image files JPEG files stored using QV-LINK (1280 x 960 pixel and 640 x 480 pixel JPEG files)

Personal Computer

This camera uses management files to manage the sequence and attributes of image files. Because of this, adding files, deleting files, changing management file contents, or changing file sequence and attributes with your computer can cause panorama images to become ungrouped. It can also result in slower image scrolling on the camera. When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage, keep everything in the DCIM folder together. Changing the name of the DCIM folder to a date is a good way to keep track of your images. However, be sure to change the name of this folder back to DCIM if you ever copy it back to the memory card for playback on the camera. This camera does not recognize any folder name besides DCIM. The above is also true about the names of folders inside the DCIM folder. These folders must be returned to the names assigned to them by the camera whenever you copy the DCIM folder back to the memory card for playback on the camera. Never delete or modify the QVS file in any way. We also strongly recommend that after transferring data from a CompactFlash card to other external storage that you re-format the card and delete its contents before using it to record more images.
Card Browser makes it possible to use a browser application to view images recorded with the QV-8000SX. The HTML file generated by this camera is best viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later, or Netscape Communicator 4.5 or later. It cannot be viewed using Photo Loader. QuickTime 3 is required to play back AVI movie files.
