Battery LifeThe values noted below indicate the number of hours before battery failure under normal operating
temperature (25 °C (77°F)). These values are for reference only, and do not guarantee that any
particular set of batteries actually will provide the service life indicated. Low temperatures shorten
battery life.
• The above guidelines are based on the following battery types:
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium:Energizer
• Battery life varies with brand.
Continuous recording values show the number of shots without using the flash. The number of
shots depends on use of the flash and whether flash is turned on or off.
Power ConsumptionApproximately 6.8 W
Dimensions118(W) x 74.5(H) x 64.5(D) mm (4.6"(W) x 2.9"(H) x 2.5"(D))
WeightApproximately 355 g (12.5 oz) (excluding batteries)
• This camera does not have a separate battery to power its clock. Clock settings are cleared whenever power to the camera is cut
off (by batteries going dead while the camera is not connected to an AC power outlet with the AC adaptor) for about 24 hours. After
power is resumed, either by loading fresh batteries or connecting to an AC power outlet, you will have to set the correct time and
date again.
• The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of precision engineering, with a pixel yield of 99.99%. This also means,
however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to light or to remain lit at all times.

2. The restoration method of firmware
(1) Prepare the files below for rewriting the QV-5700 firmware
• FLASH LOADER "Fload115.exe"
• Program file "rom09100923.bin"
• GMENU file "gmenu08281837EGF.bin"
• OS over Windows 95
(2) Boot FLASH LOADER "Fload115.exe." and select the transmission files.
• The transmission files are "rom09100923.bin" and "gmenu08281837EGF.bin".
• Select and rewrite the files one by one.
• After the transmission file is selected, "loaded*****bytes."appears on the "Status" column of the display .
When "rom09100923.bin" is selected, "loaded 979272 bytes."appears.
When "gmenu08281837EGF.bin" is selected, "loaded 894428 bytes." appears.
(3) Extract the CF card from the camera unit.
(4) Connect the RS-232C cable between the camera and the PC.
(5) Click "Progress" button on FLASH LOADER "Fload115.exe." of the PC.
At this time, keep the camera power off.
(6) Insert the AC adapter and turn the power on.
• Since the software is damaged in most cases, the camera turns on automatically as the AC adapter
is connected. In such case, keep the power switch "off" as the progress bar on the FLASH LOADER
"Fload115.exe." starts to move.
• If the progress bar does not start moving, turn the power switch to "PLAY".
(7) The progress bar on FLASH LOADER "Fload115.exe" starts to move.
• It proceeds from "Transfer" - "Erase" - "Program".
• If the camera does not turn on for a long time after clicking the "Progress" button, "read timeout"
appears on "Status" column and rewriting cannot be done.
In such case, repeat the procedures from step 1.
— 5 —
Page 8
(8) When rewriting is complete, "program complete" appears on "Status" column of the display.
(9) Disconnect the AC adapter and turn off the power.
• The key operation does not turn the power off.
Disconnect the AC adapter to shut the camera off compulsorily.
(10)Next, select and rewrite the other transmission file. Repeat the above steps 1 to 8 to rewrite it.
(1 1)After both files are rewritten, disconnect QV serial cable from the camera unit and check the versions.
Turn the power switch to "PLAY" while pressing "DISP" and "MENU" to enter the test mode, and
confirm the versions of the program and GMENU.
• The versions should be changed as follows;
PROG :02.09.10.09.23
GMENU : 02.08.28.18.37
(12)After checking the versions, take one test picture to make sure that shooting, playing back and deleting
are done normally.

2. Strobe Adjustment / Strobe Operation and Recharge Current Test
1. Condition
DC in = 6.0 ± 0.1 [V]
2. Adjustment and Checking Method
1) Strobe Adjustment
1 Boot MENU2 in the test mode.
2 Select STROBE ADJUSTMENT and press the shutter release button at the dark room.
3 Adjustment is completed basically after flash is emitted four times (and the voltage of the internal PWM is
set).
Basic flashing
a) 1st flashing : Checking the amount of light in normal shooting
(emitting 4 times maximum after changing PWM value.)
b) 2nd flashing :Confirming the amount of light in the 1st flashing
(if not within the standard, confirm it again.)
c) 3rd flashing : Checking the brightness after changing PWM value
d) 4th flashing : Checking the circuit for changing aperture (F2.0 to F5.6)
2) Strobe Operation Test and Recharge Current Test
(Perform this test after the strobe adjustment.)
2-1 Strobe Recharge Current
check value: less than 1.3A
2-2 Strobe Operation Test
1 Shoot the 18% reflection sheet in the red-eye reduction mode.
(Confirm the pre-flash and the flash itself.)
2 Enter the PLAY mode and confirm the shot on the TV monitor.
3 Shoot in non-flash mode and confirm that flash does not emit light.
3. Notes and Check Value
1) There should be no image which is too light, dark or colored in 1 and 2 of the strobe operation test.
2) Do not cover the strobe sensor and the emitting part by a hand.
3) Reduce the reflection light (other than the reflection light of the 18% gray scale chart) in the upper, lower,
left, right and near (this) side of the dark room as much as possible.
4) Make sure there is no affect of the external light.
