PRECAUTIONS  
• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,  
General Precautions  
Be sure to observe the following important precautions  
whenever using the QV-2000UX/Ir.  
immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the  
power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO  
service provider. Using the camera under these conditions  
creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.  
All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the cam-  
era” refer to the CASIO QV-2000UX/Ir Digital Camera.  
• Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out  
of the camera, immediately 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 your nearest CASIO service pro-  
vider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.  
• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the power  
outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug.  
Dust build up around the prongs can create the danger of  
fire.  
• If the camera’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 pro-  
vider.  
• Never use the camera 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 camera can  
cause the image data stored in its memory to be deleted.  
Be sure to always keep backup copies of data by transfer-  
ring them to personal computer memory.  
• Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while  
operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so cre-  
ates 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 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  
eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if  
it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with young chil-  
dren. When using the flash, the camera should be at least  
one meter 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.

E-14  
PRECAUTIONS  
• Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the  
Condensation  
AC adaptor from the camera or unplug it from the wall  
socket while recording images. Doing so will not only make  
storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt  
other image data already stored in camera memory.  
• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or other-  
wise 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 malfunc-  
tion of the camera, so you 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 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 con-  
densation does form, remove the batteries from the cam-  
era and leave the battery compartment cover open for a  
few hours.  
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 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

PRECAUTIONS  
About the camera’s backlight…  
Monitor Screen  
• The camera is equipped with a fluorescent light source to  
provide the back lighting for its LCD.  
Recording  
• 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 pro-  
vider to have the light source replaced. Note that you will  
be charged for this replacement.  
• The image shown on the monitor screen during recording  
is intended for composition purposes only, so its quality  
does not match that of the image as it is recorded. The  
image is recorded in accordance with the quality setting  
made with the procedure under “Quality Settings” on page  
E-51.  
Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more  
time than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in  
the displayed image. These conditions do not indicate mal-  
function, and normal operation should return at higher tem-  
peratures.  
• A dimly lit subject can slow down monitor screen refresh or  
cause static in the displayed image.  
Playback  
This camera is designed for high-speed scrolling of images  
during playback. Because of this, the playback image that  
initially appears on the monitor screen does not show the full  
resolution of the image as recorded. When you stop at the  
image you want, the monitor screen refreshes and shows  
the image in its full resolution.

E-16  
PRECAUTIONS  
Lens  
• Camera performance can be adversely affected by finger-  
prints or dirt on the lens surface. Never touch the lens sur-  
face with your fingers.  
• Should the lens become dirty, use a blower to blow off dirt  
and dust, or a soft, dry cloth to wipe off the lens.  
• This camera uses a telescoping type lens, which moves  
whenever the camera is turned on or off. Make sure noth-  
ing is blocking lens movement and never turn power on or  
off while the camera is laying lens down.  
• Never remove batteries or disconnect the AC adaptor while  
the lens is extended. Doing so can cause the lens to be-  
come stuck in the extended position, resulting in camera  
malfunction.  
Date Setting  
No data setting is made before the camera is shipped from  
the factory. Be sure to use the procedure on page E-41 to set  
the time and date before using the camera for the first time.  
File name assignment and time stamping will not be per-  
formed correctly if the time and date are wrong.

Memory Card Precautions  
Formatting a Memory Card  
You can format a memory card to delete all of the data  
stored on it.  
• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a  
memory card is installed in it.  
• Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards.  
Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran-  
teed.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Formatting a memory card deletes all images on the  
card, even if some or all of the images are protected  
(page E-86).  
• Data deleted by a memory card format operation can-  
not be recovered! Be sure to carefully check and con-  
firm that you no longer need the data stored in a  
memory card before formatting it.  
• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe-  
nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the  
data stored on a memory card. Because of this, you  
should always make backup copies of important images  
on other media (magnetic optical disk, floppy diskette,  
computer hard disk, etc.).  
• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting  
the memory card (page E-115). Reformatting a memory  
card deletes all images stored on the card, but you can  
use a computer to copy the images you want to keep to  
the computer’s hard disk before reformatting your card. If  
you plan to be recording images where you do not have  
access to a computer, it is a good idea to take along an  
extra memory card or two just in case you experience an  
unexpected memory card problem.  
1. Press MENU.  
2. Select “Set Up”  
“Format”.  
3. In response to the confirmation message that  
appears, select “Yes” to start formatting the  
card.

CODE ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images)  
or newly purchased memory cards.  
11070026.JPG  
• 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 memory card.

Extension  
(JPG or AVI)  
• When you try to save the 251st image to a folder, the cam-  
era automatically creates a new folder and store the image  
there.  
• The above maximum number of files and folders are abso-  
lute maximums. The actual number of folders and files may  
be less due to memory card capacity and the size of each  
image.  
Memory Card Folder Precautions  
• The camera automatically creates folders (directories) on  
the memory card and assigns them names based on dates  
(month and day). Any image you record is automatically  
stored into the folder that corresponds to the date it is re-  
corded.  
• Panorama images are divided into multiple images and  
stored on the memory card.  
• Up to 900 folders can be created on a single card.  
The following shows a typical folder name.  
• See “USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COM-  
PUTER” on page E-102 for information about how files and  
folders are organized.

About rechargeable batteries  
Standard Battery Life  
• Use only the nickel-metal hydride batteries (NP-H3) that  
are available from your dealer as options for this camera.  
Proper camera operation is not guaranteed when other re-  
chargeable batteries are used.  
This camera can be powered using AA-size alkaline, lithium  
or Ni-MH batteries.  
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  
guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service  
indicated. Battery life is reduced by low temperatures and  
continued use.

Nickel-metal hydride Batteries (4-battery set) NP-H3P4  
• Be sure to keep all four batteries together as a set at all  
times, for both charging and powering the camera. Mixing  
batteries from different sets can shorten overall battery life  
and cause malfunction of the camera.

Tips for Prolonging Battery Life  
• Use the button to turn off the flash when you are not using  
it.  
• You can also use the power save settings (E-39) to protect  
against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off  
the camera.  
• The above figures are approximations only.  
• The above guidelines are based on the following battery  
types:  
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA  
Lithium:  
Energizer  
Ni-MH (Nickel-metal hydride): CASIO NP-H3  
• Battery life varies with brand.  
• Figures are based on continuous recording under the fol-  
lowing conditions.  
Flash turned off  
One ZOOM slider switching between T (Telephoto) and W  
(Wide-angle)  
Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,  
zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power  
turned on.  
How low temperature affects battery life  
• The life of alkaline batteries is shortened by use under very  
cold temperatures. The life of alkaline batteries used at 0oC  
is about one fifth of what it is at normal temperatures (about  
25oC). When shooting under very cold temperatures, we  
recommend use of lithium or nickel metal hydride batteries,  
which are not so dramatically affected by cold. If you must  
use alkaline batteries, be sure to have plenty of spares on  
hand.

• Strongly backlit objects  
• Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects  
• Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating pat-  
terns  
nect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the  
adaptor from the wall socket while the operation lamp  
and the card access lamp are flashing green. Doing so  
will not only make storage of the current image impos-  
sible, it can also corrupt other image data already  
stored in camera memory.  
• Multiple images that are varying distances from the  
camera  
• Subjects in poorly lit areas  
• Auto Focus also may not work properly when the cam-  
era is unsteady or shaking.  
• Fluorescent lighting actually flickers at a frequency  
that cannot be detected by the human eye. When us-  
ing the camera indoors under such lighting, you may  
experience some brightness or color problems with  
recorded images.  
These cases may make it impossible for Auto Focus to focus  
properly, which is indicated by the operation indicator and  
the Auto Focus Frame inside the monitor screen remaining  
red. When this happens switch to the Manual Mode for fo-  
cusing (page E-57). The following are the fixed focusing dis-

2. While keeping the shutter button depressed  
Using Focus Lock  
half way, move the camera and compose the  
image as you want.  
Normally, Auto Focus automatically focuses on the object  
that is inside the Auto Focus Frame. Focus lock is a tech-  
nique that lets you lock the focus on a subject and then move  
the camera so the Auto Focus Frame is pointed at another  
subject when you record. This keeps the original subject in  
focus, even though a different object is within the Auto Focus  
Frame.  
• The Auto Focus Frame is shown on the monitor screen  
only while the shutter button is being held half way down.  
• Locking the focus also locks the exposure setting.

RECORDING  
• Flash should be used for distances within the range of  
about 0.5 meters to 4 meters. Flash does not work  
well outside these ranges.  
• Depending on operating conditions (type of battery  
being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 10  
seconds for the flash unit to charge.  
Flash Indicator  
When you press the shutter button half way, the flash icon  
appears on the monitor screen and the Flash lamp light (am-  
ber) to indicate that the flash will fire when the shutter button  
is pressed the rest of the way down.  
• The flash is disabled during movie and continuous re-  
cording, which is indicated by the flash icon appearing  
on the monitor screen.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Never use the flash in areas where combustible or ex-  
plosive gas is present. Doing so creates the danger of  
fire and explosion.  
• The flash unit will not charge when battery power is  
low. The  
indicator flashes red to warn you that the  
flash will not fire correctly, which may affect exposure  
of the image. Replace batteries as soon as possible  
when this happens.  
• Red-eye reduction may not work well when the cam-  
era is not pointed directly at the subject or when the  
subject is far from the camera.  
• In the Red-eye Reduction Mode, the flash is fired au-  
tomatically in accordance with exposure. Because of  
this, the flash will not fire in a well-lit area.  
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operat-  
ing 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. Intense light from the flash can cause eye dam-  
age 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 from the eyes of the sub-  
ject.  
• White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so  
the coloring of the recorded image may be affected by  
sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illu-  
mination in the immediate area.  
• Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or  
light sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these  
components and interfere with correct flash operation.

RECORDING  
• Numbers in parentheses are compressed image file sizes.  
Quality Settings  
• The figures in the left are approximations only. The actual  
number of images depends on image subject matter.  
Use the procedure under “Using the Record Menus” on  
page E-71 for details on changing the quality modes.  
• Note that the maximum number of images that can be  
stored in a single folder is 250. Because of this, even if you  
are using a card that allows storage of more than 250 im-  
ages, the camera’s monitor screen will show capacity for  
up to 250 images only. You will be able to store additional  
images by changing to another folder.  
The camera has three quality modes: FINE, NORMAL,  
ECONOMY.  
• To determine the number of images that can be stored on a  
memory card of a different capacity, multiply the capacities  
in the table below, by the appropriate value.  
• The actual number of images that can be stored in memory  
cannot be specified precisely because the amount of  
memory required for storage of each image differs accord-  
ing to image contents.  
• The number of images that can be recorded may differ  
when you use card browser (page E-105).

FOLDER TYPES  
• When you try to save the 251st image to a folder, the cam-  
era automatically creates a new folder and store the image  
there.  
• The above maximum number of files and folders are abso-  
lute maximums. The actual number of folders and files may  
be less due to memory card capacity and the size of each  
image.  
Memory Card Folder Precautions  
The camera automatically creates folders (directories) on  
the memory card and assigns them names based on dates  
(month and day). Any image you record is automatically  
stored into the folder that corresponds to the date it is re-  
corded.  
• Panorama images are divided into multiple images and  
stored on the memory card.  
• See “USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COM-  
PUTER” on page E-102 for information about how files and  
folders are organized.  
• Up to 900 folders can be created on a single card. The fol-  
lowing shows a typical folder name.  
100_0719  
• If there are more than 250 image files in a folder (due to  
copying from another digital camera or a computer), only  
the first 250 (in name sequence) can be played back.

INFRARED DATA TRANSFER  
This camera can perform IrDA data communication with digi-  
Receiving Data  
tal equipment that supports IrTran-P protocol.  
Infrared data transfer capabilities let you exchange image  
data with another digital camera without physical connec-  
tion.  
1. Press PLAY ON/OFF.  
2. Press  
.
• 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)  
• This causes the receive stand by screen to appear.  
IMPORTANT!  
• IrTran-P communication can be performed only with  
equipment that supports IrTran-P protocol.  
• During IrTran-P image data transfers, the ID (product  
identification string) of the other equipment is shown  
on the camera’s monitor screen. The ID normally  
shows the manufacturer and product name, but no ID  
may appear at all, depending on how the equipment  
was set up by the manufacturer.  
• When performing IrTran-P data communication with  
another QV-2000UX/Ir camera, images are trans-  
ferred as-is, without any change in size (1600 x 1200  
or 800 x 600 pixels).  
3. Align the infrared port of the camera with the  
port of the sending unit, and start the send op-  
eration.  
• See the documentation that comes with the sending  
unit for details on its operation.  
• When using IrTran-P data communication to send im-  
age data to a CASIO QV-770 digital camera, QV-  
2000UX/Ir 1600 x 1200 images are converted to 800 x  
600 images.  
• How images are affected by IrTran-P transfers with  
other equipment depends on the other equipment.

Transferring a movie or panorama to another model QV Digi-  
tal Camera (other than the QV-2000UX/Ir) causes the im-  
ages to be ungrouped. Such images cannot be played back  
on other CASIO QV Digital Camera Models. You can send a  
single specific image.  
1. Press PLAY ON/OFF.  
2. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the image you want to

INFRARED DATA TRANSFER  
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 cam-  
era when transferring images.  
• 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 misalign-  
ment 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.  
• 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.

Memory Card Data  
Images recorded with this camera and other data is stored  
on the memory card using DCF (Design Rule for Camera

DCF devices (digital cameras, printers, etc.) can exchange  
images with each other. DCF protocol defines the format for  
image files data and the directory structure for the memory  
card, so images can be viewed using another manufacturer’s  
DCF camera or printed on a DCF printer.  
In addition to support for the DCF protocol, your CASIO digi-  
tal camera also shows dates in image folder names and im-  
age file names, which helps to make data management  
easier.

• This camera uses management files to manage the se-  
quence and attributes of image files. Because of this, add-  
ing files, deleting files, changing management file con-  
tents, or changing file sequence and attributes with your  
computer can cause panorama images to become  
ungrouped. It can also result in slower image scrolling on  
the camera.  
Card Browser makes it possible to use a browser application  
to view images recorded with the QV-2000UX/Ir.  
• The HTML file generated by this camera is best viewed us-  
ing Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later, or Netscape  
Communicator 4.5 or later. It cannot be viewed using  
Photo Loader.  
• QuickTime 3 is required to play back AVI movie files.  
• When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard  
disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage,  
keep everything in the DCIM folder together. Changing the  
name of the DCIM folder to a date is a good way to keep  
track of your images. However, be sure to change the  
name of this folder back to DCIM if you ever copy it back to  
the memory card for playback on the camera. This camera  
does not recognize any folder name besides DCIM.  
• The above is also true about the names of folders inside  
the DCIM folder. These folders must be returned to the  
names assigned to them by the camera whenever you  
copy the DCIM folder back to the memory card for playback  
on the camera.  
1. Press MENU.  
2. Select “Set Up”  
“Card Browser”.  
• Never delete or modify the QVS file in any way.  
• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data  
from a CompactFlash card to other external storage that  
you re-format the card and delete its contents before using  
it to record more images.

• If the CompactFlash card in the camera has a large  
number of files on it, it may take quite a bit of time for  
the camera to generate the required HTML files and  
actually turn off after you press PLAY ON/OFF.  
Because of this, we recommend that you normally  
leave Card Browser turned off, except when you actu-  
ally want to generate HTML files.  
• This camera generates a Card Browser file whenever  
you turn off power. When the card in the camera con-  
tains a large number of files, it may take some time for

turn off the Card Browser feature if you do not want a  
file generated each time you turn off camera power.  
Folder (page E-104). Images copied from another  
digital camera or a computer may not have preview  
images, and so they do not appear in the index  
screen. If this happens, scroll through the images on  
the monitor screen until the copied images appear. At  
this time, the camera automatically generates a pre-  
view image, which will now appear on the Card  
Browser index screen.  
• Turning on Card Browser causes an HTML file to be gener-  
ated whenever you turn off camera power.  
• Selecting “Off” in step 3 of the above procedure turns off  
Card Browser.  
• Creation of an HTML file causes an INDEX.HTM file and  
other files to be added to the DCIM folder.  
IMPORTANT!  
• Though the camera’s monitor screen goes blank when  
you turn off power, the operation lamp continues to  
flash for some time as the camera internally generates  
a Card Browser file (when Card Browser is turned on).  
Performing any of the operations while the operation  
lamp is flashing not only stops generation of the Card  
Browser file, it can also result in corruption of the im-  
age data on the CompactFlash Card.  
Note that a Card Browser file may be corrupted if bat-  
teries are low or if the CompactFlash Card becomes  
full during file generation.

• This camera does not have a separate battery to power its clock.  
Clock settings are cleared whenever power to the camera is cut off  
(by batteries going dead while the camera is not connected to an  
AC power outlet with the AC adaptor) for about 24 hours. After  
power is resumed, either by loading fresh batteries or connecting to  
an AC power outlet, you will have to set the correct time and date  
again.  
• The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of preci-  
sion engineering, with an effective pixel rate of 99.99%. This also  
means, however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to  
light or to remain lit at all times.
