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.

CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

PC Link Software

Special PC Link software available from CASIO makes image data transfers with a personal computer quick and easy. The software is also designed to minimize loss of image quality due to data transfer. For details on how to connect to a personal computer and exchange data, see the documentation that comes with the PC Link software.

Windows Version: LK-11/LK-12S Macintosh Version: LK-22S

IMPORTANT!

• This camera does not fully support the software that comes with the LK-1, LK-1A, LK-10V connection kits for Windows, and the LK-2, LK-2A, LK-2V, LK-21 connection kits for the Macintosh. Never try to use the software that comes with these connections kits with this digital camera.

• Movie and panorama images are automatically ungrouped when transferred to a personal computer, so they loose their ability to be played back as movies and panoramas. You can use Spin PhotoObject and Spin Panorama to play movies and panoramas on your computer. I mages cannot be played back as movies or panoramas even if they are transferred back to the camera from the computer.

• Cable-free IrDA data transfer with a computer is supported for LK-12S PC Link for Windows. LK-11 for Windows and LK-22S for the Macintosh do not support IrDA communication.

INFRARED DATA TRANSFER

This camera support IrDA data communication with digital equipment that supports IrTran-P protocol. Infrared data transfer capabilities lets you exchange image data with another digital camera without physical connection.

• This camera uses IrDA IrTran-P protocol, which was jointly developed by NTT, Sony, Sharp, Okaya Systemware and CASIO to provide a means for transferring digital camera still images using infrared signals. (January 1998)

Infrared Data Transfer Precautions

• Make sure that the infrared ports of the sending unit and the receiving unit are pointed straight at each other, and that there is nothing blocking the path between them.

• To avoid problems that occur due to sudden loss of battery power during infrared image transfer, we recommend that you use the separately AC adaptor specified for this camera when transferring images.

• This camera cannot perform infrared data transfer with any device that does not support the IrTran-P protocol.

• Avoid performing infrared data transfers in areas expose to direct sunlight or other strong illumination.

• Such conditions as natural outdoor light, low battery power, too much distance between infrared ports, and misalignment of infrared ports can cause failure of image transfers or corrupted data.

• Proper image data transfer is impossible whenever there is anything blocking either of the infrared ports.

• Do not locate any other infrared emitting device (such as remote control units) or fluorescent lighting in the vicinity of the cameras while they are performing infrared image transfers.

• A sender ID, which shows manufacturer and model name, normally appears on the display during infrared data communication. Some equipment, however, does not transmit a sender ID, in which case nothing appears on the display.

• Failure to be able to establish an IrDA connection can mean that the device you are trying to communication with does not support the IrDA standard, or that the applications being used are not compatible. When this happens, you probably have to connect the camera to the computer with a separately available cable for data transfer.
