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.

IMPORTANT!
• Never use the flash on 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. 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.
• Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or exposure 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 3 meters (2.3' to 9.8'). Flash does not work well outside this range.
• Depending on operating conditions (type of battery being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 10 seconds for the flash unit to charge.
• The flash does not fire in the following modes: Serial, Movie, Self-timer (movie or future). The flashes to indicate this condition.
