General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever us-
ing the V-70. All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the
camera” refer to the CASIO V-70 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 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 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 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 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.
Precautions LCD Digital Camera
6
• 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.
MEMORY ERROR message
Any of the following can cause data stored in the camera’s memory to
become corrupted.
• Removal of batteries or disconnection of the AC adaptor during a
record or data communication operation
• Disconnection of the connecting cable during data communication
• Continued use while battery power is low
• Other incorrect operation
In each of the above cases, further operation of the camera becomes
impossible and one of the messages shown below eventually ap-
pears to inform you of the problem. See “Messages” on page 67 for

3. Close the battery compartment cover.
Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst
and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following
important precautions to avoid problems with batteries.
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or
FR6 type lithium dry cell batteries
with this camera. Never mix old bat-
teries with new ones. Failure to do so
can result in bursting or leaking of
batteries, creating the danger of fire
or personal injury.
• Always make sure that the positive
[+] and negative [–] ends of the bat-
teries are facing correctly, as noted
by the markings on the camera itself.
Improper loading of batteries can re-
sult in bursting or leaking of batteries,
creating the danger of personal injury
or soiling of objects nearby.
Caution
15
• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for
more than two weeks.
• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between
two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burn-
ing. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious
damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as
soon as you notice they are dead.
• The batteries that power this camera normally become warm when
they lose power. This does not indicate malfunction.
Standard Battery Life
The battery life reference values given below indicate the amount of
time at standard temperature (25°C) until power automatically turns
off due to battery failure. They do not represent a guarantee that bat-
teries will perform for any amount of time. Actual battery life depends
on the battery brand, when the battery was manufactured, and ambi-
ent temperature where the battery is being used.

Low Battery Indicator
A low battery indicator ( ) appears on the LCD and the operation
indicator flashes orange whenever remaining battery power drops
below a certain level.
The above indications mean that the camera will soon turn off auto-
matically if you continue using it. Replace all three camera batteries
with new ones as soon as possible.
Flash Memory
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
batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the
AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory.
17
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 about one
minute in the Record Mode or after about three minutes in the Play-
back Mode.
• To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as
you normally do.
Important!
The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following
conditions.
• During Auto Play (page 42)
• When operations are being performed on a computer connected to
the camera via the camera’s DIGITAL terminal.
• Whenever the AC adaptor is connected to the camera.

Using AC Power
To power the camera from standard AC power, use the optional AC
adaptor (AD-C67).
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,malfunction,or
electrical shock. Use only the op-
tional AC adaptor specified for this
camera.
• Should the cord of the AC adaptor
become damaged (exposed internal
wiring or shorts), request a replace-
ment from an authorized CASIO ser-
vice provider. A damaged AC adap-
tor cord creates the danger of fire,
malfunction,or electrical shock.
Caution
AC outlet
AC power terminal AC adaptor
19
• Always be sure to use the AD-C67
AC adaptor only. Using any other AC
adaptor can cause damage to the
camera not covered by the warranty.
• When unplugging the AC adaptor
from the wall socket, be sure to
grasp the adaptor (not the cord).
• Avoid an undue bending, pulling,
and twisting of the AC adaptor's
cord, and never try to lengthen the
cord by splicing it with other wire.
• Be sure to switch power off before connecting or disconnecting the
adaptor.
• Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor,
even if the camera has batteries 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 become 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
The following procedure provides the basic steps for recording an
image.
To record an image
1. Enter the Record Mode.
• Slide the function switch to the
REC position.
2. Turn on the camera.
• Slide the POWER switch in the di-
rection indicated by the arrow.
• The POWER switch automatically
slides back to its original position
when you release it.
• When power comes on, the image of the object that is in
front of the camera’s lens appears on the LCD.
• You can perform steps 1 and 2 in either order (1 then 2, or 2
then 1).
3. Set the NORMAL/MACRO switch to (NORMAL) posi-
tion.
• If the object whose image you are
recording is about 15 centimeters
from the lens (about 6 inches), set
the NORMAL/MACRO switch to
(MACRO). See page 24 for
details on using this switch.
Note
• The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD about
seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience a
feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera
quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Recording Images
4. Record the image.
• Compose the image you want to
record while viewing it on the
LCD.
• It is best to look at the LCD di-
rectly, and not from an angle.
• If you plan to use the viewfinder to
compose the image, press the
LCD button to turn off the LCD.
• The area of the image recorded
by the camera may differ slightly
from the area that appears within
the viewfinder. For more precise
image composition, use the LCD
monitor screen instead of the
viewfinder.
• When using the MACRO setting, the field of view of the
viewfinder is very different from the area that is photo-
graphed. Because of this, you should always use the
camera’s LCD monitor screen to compose images when us-
ing the MACRO position.
• Take care that your finger is not blocking the lens.
• When the image is situated on the LCD as you want it, press
the shutter button.
• Press the shutter button lightly to avoid moving the camera.
See page 22 for information on how to avoid hand move-
ment.
• The message “WAIT” appears on the LCD for about six sec-
onds along with the image that was recorded when you
pressed the shutter button. You can use the camera to take
the next picture after the “WAIT” message disappears.

How to avoid hand movement…
Any hand movement when you press the shutter button can causes
blurring of the recorded image. Note the following points on avoiding
hand movement.
• Make sure there is no excessive movement of the image of the ob-
ject on the LCD.
• Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim light-
ing. The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in accordance
with the brightness of the object whose image is being recorded.
Shutter speed is quite slow for dimly lit objects, increasing the pos-
sibility of blurring caused by hand movement.
• You can use the camera to take the next picture after the
“WAIT” message disappears or after the operation indicator
stops flashing green.
• Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY posi-
tion and view the image you just recorded.
• Note that turning off the camera’s LCD helps to conserve
battery power.
Caution
• Never remove the camera’s batteries while the “WAIT” mes-
sage is on the LCD or the operation indicator is flashing
green. Doing so not only cancels storage of the image being
recorded, it can also corrupt other image data already
stored in camera memory.
23
Recording Images
Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency that cannot be
detected by the human eye. When using the camera indoors under
such lighting, you may experience some brightness or color problems
with recorded images. The actual extent of the problems depends on
what cycle of the fluorescent light’s flicker is occurring when the
camera’s shutter actually releases. For best results, use a commer-
cially available video lights.
Shooting Images 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 problem is to set
the aperture to [●] (F8).

conditions covered by each switch setting.
When using the MACRO setting, the field of
view of the viewfinder is very different from
the area that is photographed. Because of
this, you should always use the camera’s
LCD monitor screen to compose images
when using the MACRO position.

Notes
• Exposure adjustment is generally expressed in terms of an expo-
sure adjustment value. The exposure adjustment value is always
set to zero whenever you turn on the camera.
• The exposure adjustment value is changed by 0.25EV with each
press of [+] or [–]. The range of the value is -2EV to +2EV.
• The exposure adjustment value automatically reverts to zero when-
ever the shutter button is pressed. You can manually reset the ex-
posure adjustment value by using [+] and [–] to change the value
back to zero, which is indicated when the
+ –
indicator disap-
pears from the monitor.
Changing the Aperture Setting
There are two aperture settings you can use to match lighting condi-
tions. Use the aperture switch to change the aperture setting.
• Use the [●] (F8) setting to decrease expo-

Record Mode Displays
The following provides details on the images, indicators and mes-
sages that appear on the LCD in the Record Mode.
If the LCD is turned off, press the LCD button to turn it on.
Image Display
An image of the object that is picked up by the camera’s lens appears
on the LCD. The camera is designed to refresh the image on the LCD
about seven times per second. Because of this, you may experience
a feeling of jerkiness in the changing image if you move the camera
quickly. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Note
• The LCD image that appears in the Playback Mode is more detailed
than the image produced in the Record Mode. Because of this, you
should consider the Record Mode image to be a reasonable fac-
simile of the image that is actually stored in memory.
Displaying the Image Number
The image number is a value that indicates the number of the next
image that will be recorded. Up to 96 images can be stored in camera
memory.
1. Enter the Record Mode.
• Set the function switch to the REC
position.
2. Press the DISP button.
Operation
28
• The image number appears in
the upper right corner of the
LCD. It indicates the number of
the next image that will be re-
corded. The number 21, for ex-
ample, indicates that there are
20 images in memory, and the
next image will be number 21.
• To clear the image number from the LCD, press the DISP
button again.
Note
• Note that turning display of the image number on and off in the
Record Mode also affects the display of the memory page number
in the Playback Mode (page 35), and the zoom area indicator used
in the zoom operation (page 40). If you turn display of the image
number off in the Record Mode, for example, the memory page
number will not be shown in the Playback Mode.
Exposure Warning Indicators
An exposure warning indicator appear on the LCD and the operation
indicator lights orange whenever the light being picked up by the lens
would result in under exposure or over exposure of an image.
Under exposure Over exposure

Recording Images
Use the procedure described on page 26 to change the aperture or
change the lighting of the image so the indicator disappears from the
LCD.
Important!
• The exposure warning indicators also appear when lighting is out-
side the range of the camera. In such a case, changing the aperture
will not clear the indicator from the LCD.
• The manual exposure adjustment procedure (page 25) cannot be
used when an exposure warning indicator is on the LCD. Clear the
warning indicator by changing the aperture switch setting.
• Pressing the [+] or [–] button to adjust exposure while an exposure
warning indicator is on the LCD causes a
+ –
exposure value to
appear. This is an EV value.
Low Battery Indicator
The low battery indicator ( ) appears on the LCD and the operation
indicator flashes orange whenever remaining battery power drops
below a certain level.
The above indications mean that the camera will soon turn off auto-
matically if you continue using it. Replace all three camera batteries
with new ones as soon as possible.
Operation
30
• Note that power will turn off quicker if you are using the optional
Connection Kit for data communications through the camera’s
DIGITAL terminal when the low battery condition occurs. This is to
protect against problems due to sudden power failure during data
transfer.
• We strongly recommend that you use the optional AC adaptor
whenever sending or receiving data over the camera’s DIGITAL ter-
minal.
• See page 13 for details on how to replace batteries.
Memory Full Message
The message “MEMORY FULL” appears
on the LCD and the operation indicator
flashes red whenever you press the shutter
button while camera memory is full. If you
want to record more images, you must first
delete some of the images already stored
in camera memory. See page 48 for details
on how to delete images.

Displaying Images on a TV Screen
Use the special video cable that comes with the camera to connect it
to a television as illustrated below, and you can then view the images
stored in camera memory on the TV’s screen.
Note that turning off the camera’s LCD helps to conserve battery
power.
Important!
• The camera can be connected only to a TV that is equipped with a
VIDEO IN terminal.
• Make sure that the power of both the camera and the TV are turned
off when making connections.
• The signal output through this camera's VIDEO OUT terminal is an
NTSC signal. An image output through this terminal will not look
normal if the camera is connected to a PAL or other type of TV or
video deck.
Leaving the same image displayed on a TV or computer CRT
screen for very long periods can cause that image to “burn in,” leav-
ing a ghost of the image even after the original image is cleared. Be
sure not to leave an image on a TV or CRT screen for long periods.

After connecting the camera and TV, set the
channel of the TV to the channel used for
video input.

• The letter “P” next to the memory page number indicates that page
is “protected” and cannot be deleted. See page 44 for details about
protecting memory pages.
• Note that turning display of the memory page number on and off in
the Playback Mode also affects the display of the image number in
the Record Mode (page 27), and the zoom area indicator used in
the zoom operation (page 40).
Producing a Multi-Page Display
Four or nine memory pages can be displayed at the same time. This
feature can be used to display multiple memory pages on the
camera’s built-in LCD, or on the screen of a connected TV.

Playing Back Images
Unused pages are colored gray.
Note
• The brightness of the images on a multi-page display may differ
slightly from the brightness when a single image is shown. This is
because the camera automatically uses the brightness setting for
the brightest image contained in the multi-page display for all of the
images.
* The memory page that is shown on the screen when you
change to the 4-page or 9-page format is in the first (upper
left) position in the multi-page display.
3. Scroll through the pages on the display.
• Use [+] (forward) and [–] (back) to scroll through the memory
pages. Pages are scrolled one, four, or nine at a time, de-
pending on the display format you are using.
