PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the QV-770.
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer to the CASIO QV-770 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
(3.3') 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 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.
• 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.
PRECAUTIONS
Battery Life Notes
• The battery life figures noted in the specifications of this
Owner’s Manual indicate the number of hours before battery failure under normal operating temperatures (25°C).
They do not guarantee that batteries will perform for any
amount of time.
• The actual number of hours of service provided by batteries varies widely depending upon manufacturer, battery
age, and temperature.
• Long term continued use of the camera can cause the low
battery indicator to appear sooner than expected. Be sure
to turn off power whenever the camera is not being used.
• Appearance of the low battery indicator means that batteries are about to go dead. Be sure to replace all four batteries a fresh set of new ones as soon as possible. Leaving
dead batteries in the camera creates the danger of leaking
batter fluid and corruption of stored image data.

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
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.
