General Precautions
Be sure to o serve the following important precautions whenever us-
ing the QV-200.
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer
to the CASIO QV-200 Digital Camera.
• Never try to take pictures or use the uilt-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 re-
pairs. 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 each, in the athroom, 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 dan-
ger 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 ecome cracked due to dropping it or
otherwise su jecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn power
off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your
nearest CASIO service provider.
Precautions Liquid Crystal Digital Camera
6
• Never use the unit inside of an air craft or in any other areas where
its use is prohi ited. Doing so can result in an accident.
• Physical damage and malfunction of this unit can cause the image
data stored in its memory to e deleted. Be sure to always keep
ackup copies of data y transferring them to personal computer
memory.
• Never open the attery 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 impossi le, it can also corrupt other image data
already stored in camera memory.
MEMORY ERROR essage
Any of the following can cause data stored in the camera’s memory to
ecome corrupted.
• Removal of atteries or disconnection of the AC adaptor during a
record or data communication operation
• Disconnection of the connecting ca le during data communication
• Continued use while attery power is low.
• Other incorrect operation
In each of the a ove cases, one of the memory error messages
(MEMORY ERROR #1 ~ MEMORY ERROR #4) appears, and further
operation of the camera will ecome impossi le. See page 72 for
details on what to do in the case of MEMORY ERROR #1, #2, or #3.
When MEMORY ERROR #4 appears, contact your dealer or the
nearest CASIO service provider as soon as possi le.

Condensation
• When you ring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise ex-
pose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possi ility
that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior compo-
nents. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you
should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensa-
tion.
• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into a plastic
ag efore moving it into a location that is much warmer or colder
than your current location. Leave it in the plastic ag until the air
inside the ag has a chance to reach the same temperature as the
new location. If condensation does form, remove the atteries from
the camera and leave the attery compartment cover open for a few

Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of atteries can cause them to leak or urst
and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following
important precautions to avoid pro lems with atteries.
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or
FR6 type lithium dry cell atteries
with this camera. Never mix old at-
teries with new ones. Failure to do so
can result in ursting or leaking of
atteries, creating the danger of fire
or personal injury.
• Always make sure that the positive
[+] and negative [–] ends of the at-
teries are facing correctly, as noted
y the markings on the camera itself.
Improper loading of atteries can re-
sult in ursting or leaking of atteries,
creating the danger of personal injury
or soiling of o jects near y.
Caution
• Remove atteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for
more than two weeks.
• Never recharge atteries, never allow direct connection etween
two ends of a attery, and never try to take atteries apart.
• Do not expose atteries to direct heat or dispose of them y urn-
ing. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• Never mix atteries of different types.
15
Power Supply
• Dead atteries are suscepti le to leakage, which can cause serious
damage to your camera. Remove atteries from the camera as
soon as you notice they are dead.
• The atteries that power this camera normally ecome warm when
they lose power. This does not indicate malfunction.
Standard Battery Life
The attery life reference values given elow indicate the amount of
time at standard temperature (25°C) until power automatically turns
off due to attery failure. They do not guarantee that atteries will
perform the amount of service indicated. Battery life is reduced y low
temperatures and continued use.
LR6(AM3) AA-size alkaline atteries
Approximately 130 minutes (Auto Play)
Approximately 500 images (continuous recording)
FR6 AA-size lithium atteries
Approximately 210 minutes (Auto Play)
Approximately 900 images (continuous recording)
Low Battery Indicator
The low attery indicator ( ) appears in the center of the LCD
whenever remaining attery power drops elow a certain level. It tells
you that power will soon turn off automatically if you continue using
the camera without replacing atteries. Be sure to replace all four
atteries with a fresh set of new ones.
Getting Acquainted
16
Flash Me ory
The camera features flash memory for storage of images. Flash
memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image
data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If
atteries go dead, simply load a set of new atteries or connect the
AC adaptor and you will e a le to view images in camera memory.
Auto Power Off
Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any cam-
era operation for a period of time. Power turns off after a out one
minute in the Record Mode or after a out five minutes in the Play ack
Mode.
• To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as
you normally do.

Using AC Power
To power the camera from standard AC power, use the optional AC
adaptor (AD-C60).
AC Adaptor precautions
• Never use an electrical outlet whose
voltage is outside the rating marked
on the camera. Doing so can create
the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Use only the optional AC adaptor
specified for this camera.
• Should the cord of the AC adaptor
ecome damaged (exposed internal
wiring or shorts), request a replace-
ment from an authorized CASIO
service provider. A damaged AC
adaptor cord creates the danger of
fire or electrical shock.

• Always e sure to use the AD-C60
AC adaptor only. Using any other AC
adaptor can cause damage to the
camera not covered y the warranty.
• When unplugging the AC adaptor
from the wall socket, e sure to
grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
• Avoid an undue ending, pulling,
and twisting of the AC adaptor's
cord, and never try to lengthen the
cord y splicing it with other wire.
• Be sure to switch power off efore connecting or disconnecting the
adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off efore disconnecting the AC adaptor,
even if the camera has atteries 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 ecome warm to the touch after extended pe-
riods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm.
• After use turn off the power switch of the camera and unplug adap-
tor from the AC outlet.

Recording Images
Caution
• Never open the attery 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 impossi le, it
can also corrupt other image data already stored in camera
memory.
How to avoid hand ove ent…
Any hand movement when you press the shutter utton can causes
lurring of the recorded image. Note the following points on avoiding
hand movement.
• Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the o -
ject on the LCD.
• Use a tripod whenever possi le when recording images in dim light-
ing. The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance
with the rightness of the o ject whose image is eing recorded.
Shutter speed is quite slow for dimly lit o jects, increasing the pos-
si ility of lurring caused y hand movement.
Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot e
detected y the human eye. When using the camera indoors under
such lighting, you may experience some rightness or color pro lems
with recorded images. The actual extent of the pro lems depends on
what cycle of the fluorescent light’s flicker is occurring when the cam-
era’s shutter actually releases. For est results, use a commercially
availa le video lights.
Operation
22
Infrared Light
Infrared light generated y a flash or other source can create image
color pro lems, such as red areas eing recorded as green. Such
color pro lems will show up in the LCD while you are composing the
image.
Shooting I ages 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 pro lem is to set
the aperture to [●] (F8).
Changing the Lens Orientation
The lens of the camera is uilt into a lens ody that is designed to
rotate. This means you can change the angle of the lens without mov-
ing the rest of the camera.
