Precautions
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever us­ing the QV-70. All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer to the CASIO QV-70 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.
• 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 unit, immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO service provider. Using the unit under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the unit, immediately turn power off and unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Using the unit under these conditions creates the dan­ger of fire and electrical shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the unit, take it to your nearest CASIO service provider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
• If the unit’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 unit inside of an air craft or in any other areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an accident.
LCD Digital Camera
• Physical damage and malfunction of this unit 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.
MEMORY ERROR message
Any of the following can cause data stored in the camera’s memory to become corrupted.
• Removal of batteries or disconnection of the AC adaptor during a record or data communication operation
• Disconnection of the connecting cable during data communication
• Continued use while battery power is low
• Other incorrect operation

+
Getting Acquainted
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
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.
Power Supply
• 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.
• 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.
Standard Battery Life
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 represent a guarantee that bat­teries will perform for any amount of time. Actual battery life depends on the battery brand, when the battery was manufactured, and ambi­ent temperature where the battery is being used.

• Always be sure to use the AD-C67 AC adaptor only. Using any other AC adaptor can cause damage to the camera not covered by the warranty.
• When unplugging the AC adaptor
Caution
from the wall socket, be sure to grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
• Avoid an 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 switch 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.
• The AC adaptor may become warm to the touch after extended 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.

3. Set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to (NORMAL) posi-
tion.
• If the object whose image you are recording is about 15 centimeters from the lens (about 6 inches), set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to
(MACRO). See page 24 for
details on using this switch.
Note
• The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
20
Page 6
Recording Images
4. Record the image.
• Compose the image you want to record while viewing it on the LCD.
• It is best to look at the LCD di­rectly, and not from an angle.
• If you plan to use the viewfinder to compose the image, press the LCD button to turn off the LCD.
• The area of the image recorded by the camera may differ slightly from the area that appears within the viewfinder. For more precise image composition, use the LCD monitor screen instead of the viewfinder.
• When using the MACRO setting, the field of view of the viewfinder is very different from the area that is photo­graphed. Because of this, you should always use the camera’s LCD monitor screen to compose images when us­ing the MACRO position.
• Take care that your finger is not blocking the lens.
• When the image is situated on the LCD as you want it, press the shutter button.
• Press the shutter button lightly to avoid moving the camera. See page 22 for information on how to avoid hand move­ment.
• The message “WAIT” appears on the LCD for about six sec­onds along with the image that was recorded when you pressed the shutter button. You can use the camera to take the next picture after the “WAIT” message disappears.
Operation
• You can use the camera to take the next picture after the “WAIT” message disappears or after the operation indicator
REC
PLAY LCD
ON/OFF
stops flashing green.
• Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY posi­tion and view the image you just recorded.
• Note that turning off the camera’s LCD helps to conserve battery power.
Caution
• Never remove the camera’s batteries while the “WAIT” mes­sage is on the LCD or the operation indicator is flashing green. Doing so not only cancels storage of the image being recorded, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera memory.
How to avoid hand movement…
Any hand movement when you press the shutter button can causes blurring of the recorded image. Note the following points on avoiding hand movement.
• Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the ob­ject on the LCD.
• Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim light­ing. The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance with the brightness of the object whose image is being recorded. Shutter speed is quite slow for dimly lit objects, increasing the pos­sibility of blurring caused by hand movement.
Recording Images
Fluorescent Lighting
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. The actual extent of the problems depends on what cycle of the fluorescent light’s flicker is occurring when the camera’s shutter actually releases. For best results, use a commer­cially available video lights.
Shooting Images Outdoors
Strong direct or reflected sunlight can cause recorded images to take on a greenish tinge. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s charge-coupled device (CCD), and it does not indicate malfunction of the camera. One way you can try to minimize this problem is to set the aperture to [] (F8).

22
Operation
NORMAL/MACRO Switch
The NORMAL/MACRO switch tells the cam­era how much distance there will be between the lens and the object whose image you are recording. The following table describes the conditions covered by each switch setting. When using the MACRO setting, the field of view of the viewfinder is very different from the area that is photographed. Because of this, you should always use the camera’s LCD monitor screen to compose images when using the MACRO position.

Operation
Displaying Images on a TV Screen
Use the special video cable that comes with the camera to connect it to a television as illustrated below, and you can then view the images stored in camera memory on the TV’s screen.
Note that turning off the camera’s LCD helps to conserve battery power.
Important!
• The camera can be connected only to a TV that is equipped with a VIDEO IN terminal.
• Make sure that the power of both the camera and the TV are turned off when making connections.
• The signal output through this camera's VIDEO OUT terminal is an NTSC signal. An image output through this terminal will not look normal if the camera is connected to a PAL or other type of TV or video deck.
Leaving the same image displayed on a TV or computer CRT screen for very long periods can cause that image to “burn in,” leav­ing a ghost of the image even after the original image is cleared. Be sure not to leave an image on a TV or CRT screen for long periods.

About the camera’s backlight…
Reference
• 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.
