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 camera” 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 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. 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 provider 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 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.
• 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.
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
9
10
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.
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 image. These conditions do not indicate malfunction,
and normal operation should return at higher temperatures.

Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak
or burst and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note
the following important precautions to avoid problems with
batteries.
• 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 batteries, creating the danger of fire or personal
injury.
CAUTION
• 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, creating 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 batteries apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them
by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
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.
• The batteries that power this camera normally become
warm when they lose power. This does not indicate malfunction.
Low Battery Indicator
The battery capacity indicator in the lower left of the monitor
screen (shown only when image information display is
turned on) changes to “
low. If you continue to use the camera, a battery warning
indicator “
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 communication. This is to protect against problems caused by
sudden power outage during data communications. Because of this, we strongly recommend that you use the optionally available AC adaptor to power the camera whenever
performing data communication with a personal computer.

AC power
terminal
POWER SUPPLY
• Always be sure to use the AD-C620 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
CAUTION
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.
• Be sure to turn 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. If 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.

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
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
With Flash:1 to 2 meters (3.3' to 6.6')
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.
23
RECORDING
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.
NOTES
• This camera is equipped with “flash memory” that retains images even when batteries go dead and the AC
adaptor is not connected. Images can be recalled after new batteries are loaded or the AC adaptor is connected.
• Note that strong direct or reflected light can cause vertical lines in an image. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s charge-coupled device (CCD),
and it does not indicate malfunction.
