PRECAUTIONS

General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions

whenever using the QV-5500SX.

All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the cam-

era” refer to the CASIO QV-5500SX Digital Camera.

• Never tr to take pictures or use the built-in displa while

operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so cre-

ates the danger of serious accident.

• Never tr to open the case of the camera or attempt our

own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the

risk of electrical shock when exposed. Alwa s leave main-

tenance 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 vi-

sion and create the danger of accident.

• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s

e es. Intense light from the flash can cause e e damage if

it is fired too close to the e es, especiall with oung chil-

dren. When using the flash, the camera should be at least

one meter from the e es of the subject.

• Keep the camera awa 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 camera,

immediatel turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the

power outlet, and contact our dealer or nearest CASIO

service provider. Using the camera under these conditions

creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

• Should ou ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out

of the camera, immediatel turn power off and unplug the

AC adaptor from the power outlet. Using the camera under

these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical

shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming

from the camera, take it to our nearest CASIO service pro-

vider for repair. Never attempt our own maintenance.

• If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to

dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment,

immediatel turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the

power outlet, and contact our nearest CASIO service pro-

vider.

• Never use the camera inside of an air craft or in an other

areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an

accident.

• Ph sical damage and malfunction of this camera can

cause the image data stored in its memor to be deleted.

Be sure to alwa s keep backup copies of data b transfer-

ring them to personal computer memor .

• Never open the batter compartment cover, disconnect the

AC adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall

socket while recording images. Doing so will not onl make

storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt

other image data alread stored in camera memor .

PRECAUTIONS

Operating conditions

• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging

from 0°C to 40°C.

• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas.

— In areas subject to direct sunlight

— In areas subject to high humidit or dust

— Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to

temperature extremes

— Inside of a closed vehicle, especiall one parked in the

sun

— In areas subject to strong vibration

Condensation

• When ou bring the camera indoors on a cold da or other-

wise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is

the possibilit that condensation can form on the exterior or

on interior components. Condensation can cause malfunc-

tion of the camera, so ou should avoid exposing it to con-

ditions 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 our 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 con-

densation does form, remove the batteries from the cam-

era and leave the batter compartment cover open for a

few hours.

PRECAUTIONS

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 approximatel six

ears, when the camera is used for about two hours a da .

• Should the LCD image appear abnormall dark, take the

camera to our dealer or an authorized CASIO service pro-

vider to have the light source replaced. Note that ou will

be charged for this replacement.

•

Under ver cold conditions, the backlight ma require more

time than normal to light, or reddish bands ma appear in

the displa ed image. These conditions do not indicate mal-

function, and normal operation should return at higher tem-

peratures.

Lens

• Camera performance can be adversel affected b finger-

prints or dirt on the lens surface. Never touch the lens sur-

face with our fingers.

• Should the lens become dirt , use a blower to blow off dirt

and dust, or a soft, dr cloth to wipe off the lens.

Monitor Screen

Recording

The image shown on the monitor screen during recording is

intended for composition purposes onl , so its resolution

does not match that of the image as it is recorded. The im-

age is recorded in accordance with the resolution setting

made with the procedure under “Resolution Settings” on

page 45. Monitor screen refresh speed varies according to

the relative brightness of the subject.

Playback

• This camera is designed for high-speed scrolling of images

during pla back. Because of this, the pla back image that

initiall appears on the monitor screen does not show the

full resolution of the image as recorded. When ou stop at

the image ou want, the monitor screen refreshes and

shows the image in its full resolution.

• The message “PREVIEW” appears on a TV or CRT screen

when a preview image is on the screen during output to the

VIDEO OUT terminal.

MEMORY CARDS

Memory Card Precautions

• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a

memor card is installed in it.

• Be sure to use onl CASIO brand CompactFlash cards

(CF-4x/CF-8x/CF-15x/CF-30x/CF-48x). Proper operation

with other memor cards is not guaranteed.

• Static electricit , electrical noise, and other electrical phe-

nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the

data stored on a memor card. Because of this, ou

should alwa s make backup copies of important images

on other media (magnetic optical disk, flopp diskette,

computer hard disk, etc.).

• Memor card problems can be corrected b reformatting

the memor card (page 97). Reformatting a memor card

deletes all images stored on the card, but ou can use a

computer to cop the images ou want to keep to the

computer’s hard disk before reformatting our card. If ou

plan to be recording images where ou do not have ac-

cess to a computer, it is a good idea to take along an extra

memor card or two just in case ou experience an unex-

pected memor card problem.

MEMORY CARDS

Memory Card Folder Precautions

• Folders (directories) are automaticall created if the card

ou are using does not alread have similarl named fold-

ers (page 75).

• Up to 250 images can be stored in a single folder. Though

it is possible to put more than 250 images into a folder on

our computer, the camera will not displa images past

250.

• Image files in camera memor are assigned names made

up of the date (first five characters) plus a three-digit num-

ber and the extension JPG/AVI. Names do not change

when ou move or delete folders.

< Example >

001. JPG

Da : 01 to 31

Month: 1 to 9, A, B, C

(OCT) (NOV) (DEC)

Year: 98, 99, 00, 01 to 49

(2000)

• Formatting is recommended for an memor card that ou

suspect contains corrupted image data (due to a DE-

CODE ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images)

or newl purchased memor cards.

• Before starting a format operation, load a full set of new

batteries (alkaline or lithium) into the camera or connect

the AC adaptor to power the camera. Interruption of cam-

era power during the format operation results in improper

formatting, making it impossible to use the memor card.

POWER SUPPLY

The camera features a two-wa power suppl that lets ou

use either batteries (AA-size alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH) or

household AC current.

Using Batteries

See page 2 for details about how to load batteries into the

camera.

Standard Battery Life

This camera can be powered using AA-size alkaline, lithium

or Ni-MH batteries.

The batter life reference values given below indicate the

amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power

automaticall turns off due to batter failure. The do not

guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service

indicated. Batter life is reduced b low temperatures and

continued use.

• The above figures are approximations onl .

• The above guidelines are based on the following batter

t pes:

Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA

Lithium: Energizer

Ni-MH (Nickel-metal h dride): CASIO NP-H3

• Batter life varies with brand.
