PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the QV-5500SX.
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer to the CASIO QV-5500SX 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.
12
• 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 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.
Page 4
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
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.
PRECAUTIONS
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
• Camera performance can be adversely affected by fingerprints or dirt on the lens surface. Never touch the lens surface with your fingers.
• Should the lens become dirty, use a blower to blow off dirt
and dust, or a soft, dry cloth to wipe off the lens.
Monitor Screen
Recording
The image shown on the monitor screen during recording is
intended for composition purposes only, so its resolution
does not match that of the image as it is recorded. The image is recorded in accordance with the resolution setting
made with the procedure under “Resolution Settings” on
page 45. Monitor screen refresh speed varies according to
the relative brightness of the subject.
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.
• The message “PREVIEW” appears on a TV or CRT screen
when a preview image is on the screen during output to the
VIDEO OUT terminal.

MEMORY CARDS
Memory Card Precautions
• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a
memory card is installed in it.
• Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards
(CF-4x/CF-8x/CF-15x/CF-30x/CF-48x). Proper operation
with other memory cards is not guaranteed.
• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phenomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the
data stored on a memory card. Because of this, you
should always make backup copies of important images
on other media (magnetic optical disk, floppy diskette,
computer hard disk, etc.).
• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting
the memory card (page 97). Reformatting a memory card
deletes all images stored on the card, but you can use a
computer to copy the images you want to keep to the
computer’s hard disk before reformatting your card. If you
plan to be recording images where you do not have access to a computer, it is a good idea to take along an extra
memory card or two just in case you experience an unexpected memory card problem.
MEMORY CARDS
• Formatting is recommended for any memory card that you
suspect contains corrupted image data (due to a DECODE ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images)
or newly purchased memory cards.
• Before starting a format operation, load a full set of new
batteries (alkaline or lithium) into the camera or connect
the AC adaptor to power the camera. Interruption of camera power during the format operation results in improper
formatting, making it impossible to use the memory card.
Memory Card Folder Precautions
• Folders (directories) are automatically created if the card
you are using does not already have similarly named folders (page 75).
• Up to 250 images can be stored in a single folder. Though
it is possible to put more than 250 images into a folder on
your computer, the camera will not display images past
250.
• Image files in camera memory are assigned names made
up of the date (first five characters) plus a three-digit number and the extension JPG/AVI. Names do not change
when you move or delete folders.

POWER SUPPLY
The camera features a two-way power supply that lets you
use either batteries (AA-size alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH) or
household AC current.
Using Batteries
See page 2 for details about how to load batteries into the
camera.
Standard Battery Life
This camera can be powered using AA-size alkaline, lithium

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 or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) dry cell
batteries with this camera. Never mix old batteries with new ones. Doing 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.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
32
• 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.

other image data already stored in camera memory.
RECORDING
• 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.
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
• 4X zoom images
These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus
properly, which is indicated by the red operation lamp. When
this happens switch to the Manual Mode for focusing (page
50). The following are the fixed focusing distances when
Auto Focus is unable to focus.

IMPORTANT!
• Never use the flash in areas where combustible or explosive gas is present. Doing so creates the danger of
fire and explosion.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.

darker. Use it to adjust for bright sunlight.
• The EV indicator turns red whenever the compensation value is at its limit.
3.
After adjusting the exposure, press the shutter
button to record the image.
NOTES
• Exposure compensation is generally expressed in
terms of an exposure compensation (EV) value. The
exposure compensation value is always set to zero
whenever you turn on the camera.
• Each press of [+] or [–] changes the exposure compensation value by 0.5EV. A change in either direction
is indicated on the monitor screen by arrows pointing
left (negative correction) or right (positive correction).
• The normal maximum range for exposure compensation is –2EV to +2EV. Under certain conditions, however, the camera may impose lower maximum values
when exposure compensation would result in an image that is too dark or too light.
• The exposure compensation value automatically reverts to zero whenever the shutter button is pressed.
You can manually reset the exposure compensation
value by using [+] and [–] to change the value back to
zero, which is indicated when the EV indicator disappears from the monitor. EV value is fixed during panorama recording.

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Performing Manual White Balance
Certain lighting conditions can cause Auto white balance to
take a very long time or can result in a limitation of the adjustable range (color temperature). If you suspect your current lighting conditions are causing problems, try performing
manual white balance. This sets white balance to a level that
can be used under any lighting conditions.
The following procedure describes how to perform manual
white balance using a white piece of paper. For optimum results, you should use a special reflective plate that should be
commercially available from a local camera equipment
shop.
1.

procedure.

• If the manual white balance procedure does not end
automatically, press the shutter button to interrupt it.
6.
After the camera finishes making the white balance setting, it returns to the screen in step 3
above. Select “Exit” to exit the manual white
balance procedure.
Customizing Record Mode Power On Settings
A power on setting is one that is set by the camera automatically whenever you turn it on. Normally, the camera uses its
own built-in power on default settings. With the procedure
described here, however, you can tell the camera to save the
camera’s current Recording Mode, Flash, Focus, Metering
and White Balance settings in mode memory when it is
turned off, and to restore the setting when power is turned on
again. Settings stored in mode memory override the
camera’s preset defaults.
The following table shows the items whose settings you can
save in mode memory. Note that the procedure described
here only lets you select ON (save current setting in mode
memory) or OFF (use the camera’s preset default setting).
The procedures for changing current settings can be found

IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to turn off both the camera and other equipment before making any connections.
• Check the documentation that comes with your other
equipment for information you may need to know
when making connections.
• Leaving the same image displayed on a television or
computer display screen for very long periods can
cause the image to be “burned in” on the screen. When
this happens, a faint after-image remains on the
screen, even after you disconnect the camera. To avoid
this, you should not leave the same image displayed on
such a screen for very long periods.
• This camera does not support cable transfer of data
with other CASIO digital cameras.

• Management File
These files contain data about folder management and image sequence.
• CAMERA Folders
These folders are for storing image data. There are seven
CAMERA folders: CAMERA, FOLDER A, FOLDER B,
FOLDER C, FOLDER D, FOLDER E, AVI.
• Image Files
These JPEG files are images recorded by the camera. See
page 30 for details on how file names are generated.
• PREVIEW Folder
This folder is for storing preview images.
• Preview Image File
A preview image JPEG file is created whenever an image
is recorded. Preview images are used when scrolling
through images on the camera's monitor screen and in the
HTML image lists displayed on your computer's screen.
• HTML Files (INDEX)/(MENU)/(DATA)
These files are for displaying lists of images in camera
memory using a Web browser.
87
USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
Image Files Supported by the Camera
• Image files recorded with the CASIO QV-5500SX Digital
Camera
• JPEG files stored using QV-LINK 2.6 (LK-22S)
(1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file)
• JPEG files stored using QV-CRAFT
(1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file)
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 movie and 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 QVIMG02 folder together. Changing
the name of the QVIMG02 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 QVIMG02 if you ever copy it
back to the memory card for playback on the camera. This
camera does not recognize any folder name besides
QVIMG02.
88
• The above is also true about the names of folders inside
the QVIMG02 folder. These folders must be returned to the
names assigned to them by the camera (CAMERA,
FOLDER A, etc.) whenever you copy the QVIMG02 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.
Macintosh Precautions
• Initializing a CompactFlash card with this camera initializes
it to ATA format. Under ATA format, Apple Macintosh computers recognize files on the card as text files. Use PC EXCHANGE to associate the files on the card with QV-LINK
or some other application that can open JPEG files.
Page 23
Card Browser
Card Browser makes it possible to use a browser application
to view images recorded with the QV-5500SX.
• The HTML file generated by this camera is best viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later, or Netscape
Navigator 2.0 or later. It cannot be viewed using QV-LINK.
• QuickTime 3 is required to play back AVI movie files.
1.
Slide the Function Switch to PLAY.
2.
Press MENU.
3.
Select “Set Up” “Card Browser”.
USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
4.
Specify the format.
There are three Card Browser formats.
TYPE 1 .....This is a powerful format that provides de-
tailed information about each image and
also includes a Slide Show feature.
TYPE 2 .....Thi s format is a viewer with a Slide Show
feature.
TYPE 3 .....This format provides basic image viewing.
Since it is the simplest option, you should be
able to use it with just about any browser,
regardless of version.
IMPORTANT!
•
Note that the TYPE 1 and TYPE 2 formats use Java
Script, so their use requires Microsoft Internet Explorer
4.01 or later, or Netscape Communicator 4.5 or later.
• In the case of TYPE 1 and TYPE 2, Slide Show displays Economy (640 x 480) and other image resolutions (1280 x 960) images in the same size, so image
details may appear relatively coarse.
• Turning on Card Browser causes an HTML file to be generated whenever you turn off camera power.
• Selecting “OFF” in step 4 of the above procedure turns off
Card Browser.
• Creation of an HTML file causes an INDEX.HTM file and
other files to be added to the QVIMG02 folder.
89
USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
IMPORTANT!
• Though the camera’s monitor screen goes blank when
you turn off power, the operation lamp continues to
flash for some time as the camera internally generates
a Card Browser file (when Card Browser is turned on).
Performing any of the operations while the operation
lamp is flashing not only stops generation of the Card
Browser file, it can also result in corruption of the image data on the CompactFlash Card.
Note that a Card Browser file may be corrupted if batteries are low or if the CompactFlash Card becomes
full during file generation.
• If the CompactFlash card in the camera has a large
number of files on it, it may take quite a bit of time for
the camera to generate the required HTML files and
actually turn off after you slide the POWER switch towards OFF.
Because of this, we recommend that you normally
leave Card Browser turned off, except when you actually want to generate HTML files.
• This camera generates a Card Browser file whenever
you turn off power. When the card in the camera contains a large number of files, it may take some time for
the file generation operation to be performed. You can
turn off the Card Browser feature if you do not want a
file generated each time you turn off camera power.
90
• If you perform a timer operation while Card Browser is
turned on, files are not generated until the number of
shots specified for the timer's SHOTS setting are recorded. If you want to generate files for images recorded by a timer operation that is not yet complete,
turn the camera off, wait for the files to be generated,
and then turn the camera back on again. Note, however, that this also cancels the ongoing timer operation.
• The Card Browser's Slide show feature may produce
mosaic images and vertical lines on a system with the
following configuration.
* Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
* Color palette (Display Properties): High Color (16
bit)
* Desktop area (Display Properties): 800 by 600 pixels
When this happens, try changing to the following pre-
ferred settings.
* Browser: Netscape Communicator 4.5
* Color palette (Display Properties): True Color
* Desktop area (Display Properties): 1024 by 768 pix-
els
Note that changing the Display Properties Desktop
area setting to 1024 by 768 pixels may cause part of
the screen contents to moves outside the display
area.
How to use the HTML file

Saving an HTML File
• When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard
disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage,
keep everything in the QVIMG02 folder together. Changing
the name of the QVIMG02 folder to a date is a good way to
keep track of your images. However, note that you should
never delete or modify the QVIMG02 file in any way.
• Before using the CompactFlash card again (after storing its
images on other media), delete all its current files or reformat the card.
