PRECAUTIONS General Precautions Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the QV-5000SX. All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the cam- era” refer to the CASIO QV-5000SX Digital Camera. • Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so cre- ates 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 main- tenance and repair work up to authorized CASIO service providers. • Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vi- sion and create the danger of accident. • Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Be especially careful with small children. 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 (40") from the eyes of the subject. • 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 camera, immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO service provider. Using the camera under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. • Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn power off and unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Using the camera under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO service pro- vider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance. • If the camera’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 pro- vider. • Never use the camera inside of an air craft or in any other areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an accident. • Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can cause the image data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure to always keep backup copies of data by transfer- ring 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 cam- era memory. 9 10 PRECAUTIONS 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 temperature extremes — Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun — In areas subject to strong vibration Condensation • When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or other- wise 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 malfunc- tion of the camera, so you should avoid exposing it to con- ditions 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 con- densation does form, remove the batteries from the cam- era and leave the battery compartment cover open for a few hours. 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 pro- vider 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 image. These conditions do not indicate malfunction, and normal operation should return at higher temperatures. PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS GUIDELINES LAID DOWN BY FCC RULES FOR USE OF THIS UNIT IN THE U.S.A.

Be sure to note the following important precautions to avoid problems with batteries. CAUTION • Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type lithium dry cell batteries with this camera. Never mix old batteries with new ones. Failure to do so can result in bursting or leaking of bat- teries, creating the danger of fire or personal injury. • Always make sure that the positive [+] and negative [–] ends of the batteries are facing correctly, as noted by the markings on the camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creat- ing the danger of personal injury or soiling of objects nearby. • Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for more than two weeks. • Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batter- ies apart. • Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion. • 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. • The batteries that power this camera normally become warm when they lose power. This does not indicate mal- function. Low Battery Indicator The battery capacity indicator in the lower left of the monitor screen (shown only when image information display is ” whenever battery power goes turned on) changes to “ low. If you continue to use the camera, a battery warning indicator “ ” will appear in the center of the monitor screen, and then camera power will automatically turn off. If this happens, replace all four batteries with new ones as soon as possible. Note that the camera may automatically shut down at a somewhat higher level of remaining battery capacity when a computer is connected to its DIGITAL terminal for data com- munication. This is to protect against problems caused by sudden power outage during data communications. Be- cause of this, we strongly recommend that you use the op- tionally available AC adaptor to power the camera whenever performing data communication with a personal computer. 19 20 Standard Battery Life This camera can be power using AA-size alkaline or lithium batteries. The battery life reference values given below indicate the amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service indicated. Battery life is reduced by low temperatures and continued use. Type of Operation Continuous Playback Continuous Recording AA-size Alkaline Batteries LR6 Approximately 120 minutes Approximately 320 shots AA-size Lithium Batteries FR6 Approximately 210 minutes Approximately 780 shots • The above guidelines are based on the following battery types: Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA Lithium: Fuji Film • Battery life varies with brand. “Continuous Recording” is made without use of the camera’s flash. Regardless of use of the camera’s flash, turning on and off the POWER Switch, as well as other operating conditions may affect the above values. G Tips for Prolonging Battery Life • Press the LCD button to turn off the monitor screen whenever you are using the viewfinder to compose images. • Use the button to turn off the flash when you are not using it. 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. POWER ON/OFF IMPORTANT! The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following conditions. • During playback of a movie (page 38) • During playback of a panorama (page 39) • During Auto Play (page 43) • When operations are being performed on a computer connected to the camera via the camera’s DIGITAL terminal. (page 66) • Whenever the AC adaptor is connected to the camera.
Using AC Power Use the optional AC adaptor (AD-C620) to power the cam- era from standard AC power. AC adaptor AC power terminal CAUTION POWER SUPPLY • Always be sure to use the AD-C620 AC adap- tor 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 any 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 AC Adaptor precautions • Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the AC adaptor. Doing so can create the danger of fire or elec- trical shock. Use only the optional AC adaptor specified for this camera. • Should the cord of the AC adaptor become damaged (exposed internal wiring or shorts), request a replacement from an authorized CASIO service provider. A damaged AC adap- tor cord creates the danger of fire or electrical shock. CAUTION • Be sure to turn power off before connecting or disconnect- ing the adaptor. • Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor, even if the camera has batteries installed. If you don’t, the camera will turn off automatically when you dis- connect the AC adaptor. Even so, you run the risk of dam- aging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC adap- tor without first turning power off. • The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after ex- tended 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 RECORDING Using the Shutter Button The following steps describe how to operate the shutter but- ton so that Auto Focus has a chance to focus the image. 1. Press the shutter button about half way. • The Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the im- age. 2. Press the shutter button as far as it will go to record the image. Basic Recording Operation The following describes the basic operation for recording images. 1. Slide the Function Switch to REC.

POWER ON/OFF • The POWER Switch returns to its original position when you release it. • Turning on power enters the normal Recording Mode. • You can perform step 2 before step 1, if you want. • If power turns off, slide the POWER Switch again to turn it back on. 3. After composing the im- age in the viewfinder, press the shutter button about half way and hold it there. • The camera’s Auto Focus feature automatically fo- cuses the image. • The operation indicator lights green when the Auto Focus operation is complete. • Viewing the subject in the viewfinder, carefully com- pose it within the frames. • Take care to avoid blocking the lens with your fingers. If you plan to use the LCD to compose the image, • press the LCD button to turn it on. • 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 pat- terns • Multiple images that are varying distances from the camera • Subjects in poorly lit areas These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus properly, which is indicated by the red operation indicator. When this happens switch to the Manual Mode for focusing (page 34). The following are the fixed focusing distances when Auto Focus is unable to focus. Well-lit Location: 1.5 meters (4.3') minimum 1 to 2 meters (3.3' to 6.6') With Flash: 4. After confirming that the Auto Focus operation is complete (operation indicator is green), press the shutter button all the way down to record the image. • You can view images immediately after you record them by sliding the Function Switch to PLAY. 21 22 23 24 RECORDING CAUTION • Never open the battery compartment cover, discon- nect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the adaptor from the wall socket while the operation indi- cator 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 us- ing the camera indoors under such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems with recorded images. NOTES • This camera is equipped with “flash memory” that re- tains images even when batteries go dead and the AC adaptor is not connected. Images can be recalled af- ter new batteries are loaded or the AC adaptor is con- nected. • Note that strong direct or reflected light can cause ver- tical lines in an image. This is due to the characteris- tics of the camera’s charge-coupled device (CCD), and it does not indicate malfunction. Using the Viewfinder for Recording The illustrations below show what you see when you look through the viewfinder to compose an image for recording. Auto Focus Frame Focus range for 1m to ∞ (40" to ∞) Close Up Range Frame Focus Range Frame Focus range for 30cm (11.8") Close Up Range Frame This frame shows the focus range when the distance from the lens to the subject is 1 meter (40") to infinity.
RECORDING RECORDING Macro Correction Frame This frame shows the focus range when the distance from the lens to the subject is 30 cm (11.8"). You can use the viewfinder for distances from 30 cm (11.8") to infinity. When using Auto Focus, compose the subject so it is within the Auto Focus Frame. Press Mode for distances less than 30 cm (11.8"). • Entering the Macro Mode automatically turns on the moni- tor screen. Use the monitor screen to compose images in the Macro Mode. to enter the Macro Mode or use the Manual / Using Focus Lock Normally, Auto Focus automatically focuses on the object that is inside the Auto Focus Frame. Focus lock is a tech- nique that lets you lock the focus on a subject and then move the camera so the Auto Focus Frame is pointed at another subject when you record. This keeps the original subject in focus, even though a different object is within the Auto Focus Frame. 1. Align the Auto Focus Frame with the subject you want to lock on and press the shutter button half way down. 2. While keeping the shut- ter button depressed half way, move the cam- era and compose the im- age as you want. 3. Press the shutter button all the way down to record the image. Using the Flash You can use the built-in flash unit to provide illumination dur- ing recording. 1. Press . • The monitor screen goes blank and the operation indicator flashes while the flash unit is charging. • Each press of cycles through the flash mode in the following sequence: Red- Auto eye Reduction. On Off Operation indicator button IMPORTANT! Indicator Flash Mode Description None Auto Flash Flash On Flash Off Red-eye Reduction Flash is automatically enabled and disabled in accordance with expo- sure conditions. Flash is always fired, regardless of exposure conditions. Flash is never fired, regardless of exposure conditions. Fires a pre-flash followed by re- cording with flash, which reduces the chance of red-eye. • Never use the flash in areas where combustible or ex- plosive gas is present. Doing so creates the danger of fire and explosion. • Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operat- ing a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vision and create the danger of accident. • Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Be especially careful with small children. In- tense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with young chil- dren. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter (40") from the eyes of the subject. • Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or exposure sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these components and interfere with correct flash op- eration. 25 26 RECORDING RECORDING • Flash should be used for distances within the range of about 0.7 meters to 2 meters (2.3' to 6.6'). Flash does not work well outside this range. • Depending on operating conditions (type of battery being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 10 seconds for the flash unit to charge. • The flash is disabled during movie recording. The indicator flashes to indicate this condition. • The flash unit will not charge when battery power is indicator flashes red to warn you that the low. 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 cam- era 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 au- tomatically in accordance with exposure. Because of this, the flash will not fire in a well-lit area. • Use the flash in areas where available lighting is dim. If you do not use a flash, shutter speed slows down and creates the possibility of blurred images due to camera movement. Mount the camera on a tripod if you decide not to use the flash. Resolution Settings The camera has four resolution modes: Super Fine ( ), Fine ( ), Normal ( ), Economy ( ). The following shows the num- ber of images that can be recorded in memory when all im- ages are the same resolution. Use the procedure under “Manual Recording” on page 34 for details on changing the resolution modes.
