Precautions
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the QV-2400UX or the QV-2900UX.
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer to the CASIO QV-2400UX or QV-2900UX Digital
Camera.
• 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.
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating 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. 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.
• 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 provider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the power
outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug.
Dust build up around the prongs can create the danger of
fire.
• 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 provider.
• 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 transferring them to personal computer memory.
E-15
INTRODUCTION
• 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.
Operating conditions
• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging
from 0°C to 40°C.
• 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 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.
E-16
INTRODUCTION
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 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.

Lens
The swivel lens mechanism lets you easily aim at the angle
you want, without changing the position of the camera body.
Changing the Lens Angle
• Whenever you swivel the lens so it is pointing in the direction of the back of the camera, the image on the monitor
screen is automatically adjusted so it shows a mirror image
of what it picked up by the lens. This makes self-portrait
images appear with the correct orientation when viewed on
a display.

IMPORTANT!
• Do not use undue force when rotating the lens mechanism and never try to force it past the point where rotation stops naturally. Rough handling can cause the
lens mechanism to break and other damage to the
camera.
• The proper orientation of the lens when you store the
camera in its case depends on your camera model.
* QV-2400UX: Lens should be pointed forward.
* QV-2900UX: Lens should be pointed up.
• Never set the camera down while the lens is pointed
downwards. Doing so can cause bending or other
damage to the area around the lens.
• Always leave the lens cap on the lens except when
you are actually recording images.
GETTING ACQUAINTED
Installing a Conversion Lens
Optionally available conversion lenses change the focal distance, which provides enhanced telephoto or wide-angle capabilities. The method you should use to install a conversion
lens depends on your camera model.
• QV-2400UX: You must install an optionally available lens
adaptor (LU-8A) in order to use a conversion lens.
• QV-2900UX: A conversion lens can be installed directly,
without an adaptor.
• Tele Conversion Lens LU-8T: 1.5X
• Focusing distance when installed

IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to use the Conversion Lens Adaptor whenever you install a conversion lens. If you don’t, the
lens will come into contact with the conversion lens
when it extends from the camera, resulting in malfunction. (QV-2400UX only)
• Flash is disabled while a conversion lens is being
used.
E-22
GETTING ACQUAINTED
• Setting the camera to wide-angle zoom while the Tele
Conversion Lens causes shadows around the periphery of the image. This is because the frame of the attached lens blocks some of the light coming into the
lens. Because of this, you should always use telephoto zoom whenever you are using the Tele Conversion Lens.
• The effects of camera movement are magnified while
the Tele Conversion Lens is being used. Whenever
you are using a conversion lens, install the cushion
that comes with it and mount the camera on a tripod
so it is secure.
• Due to certain characteristics of the Wide Conversion
Lens, you may notice some slight distortion in images
recorded with it installed.
• Make sure that (Macro Mode) is selected as the
focus mode whenever you are using the Wide Conversion Lens.
• Note that optical zoom is restricted as shown below in
the Macro Mode .
* QV-2400UX: 1X fixed (QV-2400UX)
* QV-2900UX: 1X to 1.6X (QV-2900UX)
Using a Filter
The lenses of both camera models are threaded.
With the QV-2400UX, you can screw on an optionally available Conversion Lens Adapter (LU-8A) and then attach a
commercially available lens filter.
With the QV-2900UX, you can screw a commercially available lens filter directly to the lens, without using the Conversion Lens Adapter.
IMPORTANT!
• When using a lens filter with the QV-2400UX, be sure
you first screw the optionally available Conversion
Lens Adapter onto the lens. A filter attached directly to
the lens of the QV-2400UX will come into contact with
the convex surface of the lens and damage it.
• The designs of some filters can cause shadows
around the periphery of the image.
• Auto focus and flash may not produce desired results
while a filter is on the lens.
• Filters do not produce exactly the same results as
those obtained with a film-based camera.
• Do not use multiple filters in combination.
• Use of the flash while a commercially available lens
hood is installed may not produce desired results.
E-23
GETTING ACQUAINTED
Lens Precautions
• Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with
your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens
surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe
the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.
• The lens of the QV-2400UX extends from its body when
you turn on power and retracts when you turn off power.
Take care not to subject the lens to undue force or impact,
and never set the camera face down so the lens is in contact with a tabletop, etc. Be sure to remove the lens cap
before turning on the camera. If you turn on the QV2400UX while the REC/PLAY selector is set to “REC” and
its lens cap is attached, the message “LENS CAP!” appears on the monitor screen and power turns off automatically. If this happens, remove the lens cap and then turn on
power.
• Never remove the batteries from the QV-2400UX or unplug
its AC adaptor while the lens is extended. Doing so leaves
the lens extended, and creates the risk of lens damage.
