PRECAUTIONS

• Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera,

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.

• 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.

• 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.

General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions

whenever using the QV-7000SX.

Operating conditions

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 pro-

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

be charged for this replacement.

• 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

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

era” refer to the CASIO QV-7000SX Digital Camera.

• 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.

•

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.

— In areas subject to strong vibration

Condensation

• 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.

• 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.

• Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the

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.

PRECAUTIONS

GUIDELINES LAID DOWN BY FCC RULES FOR USE OF

THIS UNIT IN THE U.S.A. (not applicable to other areas).

Monitor Screen

Recording

The image shown on the monitor screen during recording is

intended for composition purposes only, 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 44. Monitor screen refresh speed varies according to

the relative brightness of the subject.

Lens

Declaration of Conformity

• 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.

Memory Card Precautions

Memory Card Folder 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.

•

Folders (directories) are automatically created if the card

you are using does not already have similarly named fold-

ers (page 84).

•

Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards.

Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran-

teed.

•

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

your computer, the camera will not display images past

250.

IMPORTANT!

• Formatting a memory card deletes all images on the

card, even if some or all of the images are protected.

• 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.).

3. Use [+] and [–] to select

SETUP, and then press

the shutter button.

•

Image files in camera memory are assigned names made

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

ber and the extension JPG. Names do not change when

you move or delete folders.

Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting

the memory card (page 122). 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 ac-

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

memory card or two just in case you experience an unex-

pected memory card problem.

POWER SUPPLY

• 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 mal-

function.

Battery Handling Precautions

Auto Power Off

(Battery Powered Operation Only)

Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform

any camera operation for a specific period. See page 32 for

details about how you can specify the Auto Power Off time.

• To restore power, simply slide the POWER Switch again.

Using AC Power

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 the optional AC adaptor (AD-C620) to power the cam-

era from standard AC power.

• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type

lithium or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) dry cell

batteries with this camera. Never mix old bat-

teries with new ones. Doing 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 batteries are facing

IMPORTANT!

Using the Shutter Button

Basic Recording Operation

Auto Focus tends not to work well with the following

types of subjects.

• Solid color walls or objects with little contrast

• Strongly backlit objects

The following steps describe how to operate the shutter but-

ton so that Auto Focus has a chance to focus the image.

The following describes the basic operation for recording

images.

•

Turning on power enters the normal Recording Mode.

If power turns off, slide the POWER Switch again to

turn it back on.

1. Press the shutter button about half way.

1. Slide the Function

Switch to REC.

REC PLAY

• Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects

• Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating pat-

terns

• Multiple images that are varying distances from the

camera

4. After composing the image on the monitor

screen, press the shutter button about half

way and hold it there.

• The Auto Focus feature automatically focuses the im-

age.

• Subjects in poorly lit areas

• Closeup images recorded using digital zoom

•

The camera’s Auto Focus feature automatically fo-

cuses the image.

•

The REC position selects the Record Mode, while

PLAY selects the Playback Mode.

The operation indicator lights green and the Auto Fo-

cus Frame in the monitor screen turns green when the

Auto Focus operation is complete.

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 49).

2. Rotate the dial so its

(normal recording)

setting is aligned with

the dot on the top of the

camera.

•

Take care to avoid blocking the lens, distance sensor

or light sensor with your fingers.

2. Press the shutter button as far as it will go to

record the image.

NO!

•

You can perform step 2 before step 1, if you want.

3. Slide the POWER Switch

in the direction indicated

by the arrow.

•

Carefully press the shutter button, taking care not to

move the camera as you do.

RECORDING

5. After confirming that the Auto Focus operation

is complete (operation indicator is green),

press the shutter button all the way down to

record the image.

2. While keeping the shut-

ter button depressed

half way, move the cam-

era and compose the im-

age as you want.

Using Focus Lock

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.

•

Pressing the shutter button releases the shutter, even

if Auto Focus was unsuccessful and the image is out

of focus.

Images you record are stored in the CAMERA folder.

See page 84 for information about how you can

change to another folder to store images.

3. Press the shutter button all the way down to

record the image.

Note that you can also select a memory card folder into

which recorded images should be placed (page 84).

1. Align the Auto Focus

Frame with the subject

you want to lock on and

press the shutter button

half way down.

CAUTION

• Never open the battery compartment cover, discon-

nect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the

adaptor from the wall socket while the operation indi-

cator is flashing green. Doing so will not only make

storage of the current image impossible, it can also

corrupt other image data already stored in camera

memory.

•

The Auto Focus frame turns

green when the image is in

focus.

• 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.

RECORDING

IMPORTANT!

• The monitor screen goes blank and the operation indicator

flashes amber while the flash unit is charging.

• 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.

Using the Flash

• Never use the flash in areas where combustible or ex-

plosive gas is present. Doing so creates the danger of

fire and explosion.

You can use the built-in flash unit to provide illumination dur-

ing recording.

• 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 (40") from the eyes of the

subject.

• 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.

• Flash should be used for distances within the range of

about 0.7 meters to 2 meters (2.3 to 6.6'). Flash does

not work well outside this range.

• 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.

• 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.

RECORDING

• Numbers in parentheses are compressed image file sizes.

• 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 Menu” on

page 59 for details on changing the resolution 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 the addi-

tional images by changing to another folder.

Resolution Settings

Changing the Lens Orientation

The camera has four resolution modes: SUPER FINE ( ),

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 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 lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is de-

signed to rotate. This means you can change the angle of

the lens without moving the rest of the camera.

RECORDING

• The exposure compensation value automatically re-

verts to zero whenever the shutter button is pressed.

You can manually reset the exposure compensation

value by using [+] and [–] to change the value back to

zero, which is indicated when the EV indicator disap-

pears from the monitor. EV value is fixed during pan-

orama recording.

3. After adjusting the exposure, press the shutter

button to record the image.

Exposure Compensation

This camera features an program AE function that automati-

cally changes shutter speed and aperture in accordance

with available light. In addition, you can also manually adjust

the exposure to compensate for backlighting, indirect indoor

lighting, dark backgrounds, and other special conditions.

• Shutter speed and aperture is fixed whenever you

manually adjust the exposure setting.

To manually adjust the exposure

1. Set the Function Switch to REC.

2. Use [+] and [–] to perform exposure compensa-

tion.

NOTES

•

Pressing [+] or [–] displays an EV indicator that shows

the current exposure compensation setting.

• Exposure compensation is generally expressed in

terms of an exposure compensation (EV) value. The

exposure compensation value is always set to zero

whenever you turn on the camera.

• Each press of [+] or [–] changes the exposure com-

pensation value by 0.25EV. A change in either direc-

tion is indicated on the monitor screen by arrows

pointing left (negative correction) or right (positive cor-

rection).

• The normal maximum range for exposure compensa-

tion is –2EV to +2EV. Under certain conditions, how-

ever, the camera may impose lower maximum values

when exposure compensation would result in an im-

age that is too dark or too light.

•

Pressing [+] makes the image on the LCD brighter.

Use it to adjust for dim indoor lighting and backlight-

ing.

•

Pressing [–] makes the image on the LCD darker. Use

it to adjust for bright sunlight.

The EV indicator turns red whenever the compensa-

tion value is at its limit.

Performing Manual White Balance

Certain lighting conditions can cause Auto white balance to

take a very long time or can result in a limitation of the ad-

justable range (color temperature). If you suspect your cur-

rent lighting conditions are causing problems, try performing

manual white balance. This sets white balance to a level that

can be used under any lighting conditions.

The following procedure describes how to perform manual

white balance using a white piece of paper. For optimum re-

sults, you should use a special reflective plate that should be

commercially available from a local camera equipment

shop.

own built-in power on default settings. With the procedure

described here, however, you can tell the camera to save the

camera’s current WB (white balance), APERTURE, DIGI-

TAL ZOOM, FLASH, AF/MF/MACRO, and METERING set-

tings in mode memory when it is turned off, and to restore

the setting when power is turned on again. Settings stored in

mode memory override the camera’s preset defaults.

The following table shows the items whose settings you can

save in mode memory. Note that the procedure described

here only lets you select ON (save current setting in mode

memory) or OFF (use the camera’s preset default setting).

• 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-7000SX camera, images are transferred

as-is, without any change in size (1280 x 960 or 640 x

480 pixels).

IMPORTANT!

• This camera does not fully support the software that

comes with the LK-1, LK-1A, LK-10V, LK-11 connec-

tion kits for Windows, and the LK-2, LK-2A, LK-2V,

LK-21 connection kits for the Macintosh. Never try to

IR, and then press the

shutter button.

• 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.

With PC Link Software, cable-free infrared image data trans-

fer can be performed with a personal computer that supports

IrDA1.0 protocol or later. See the documentation that comes

with your computer for details on its infrared communication

capabilities.

Movie images that are uploaded to a personal computer and

then download back to the camera cannot be played back as

a movie. Uploading a movie image to a computer ungroups

it, so you will not be able to play it back when you download

it back to the camera unless you re-group them using the

procedure on page 69.

4. Use [+] and [–] to select

QV-LINK, and then press

the shutter button.

1. Slide the Function Switch to PLAY.

2. Press MENU.

• 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.

5. Align the infrared port of the camera with the

port of your computer.

6. Start up the PC Link software on your com-

puter and transfer the images you want.

CompactFlash Card Precautions

Personal Computer

USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER

• 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.

Image Files Supported by the Camera

HTML File Generator

• Image files recorded with the CASIO QV-7000SX Digital

Camera

• JPEG files stored using QV-LINK 2.6 for Windows

(1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file)

• JPEG files stored using QV-CRAFT

An HTML file is a file format for creating Internet Web pages.

This camera can generate an HTML format file that allows

you to display lists of recorded images as well as detailed

information about each image.

• The HTML file generated by this camera is best viewed us-

ing Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later, or Netscape

Navigator 2.0 or later. It cannot be viewed using QV-LINK.

• 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 movie and panorama images to be-

come ungrouped. It can also result in slower image scroll-

ing on the camera.

• When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard

disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage,

keep everything in the QVIMG01 folder together. Changing

the name of the QVIMG01 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 QVIMG01 if you ever copy it

back to the memory card for playback on the camera. This

camera does not recognize any folder name besides

QVIMG01.

Macintosh Precautions

(1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file)

• Initializing a CompactFlash card with this camera initializes

it to ATA format. Under ATA format, Apple Macintosh com-

puters recognize files on the card as text files. Use PC EX-

CHANGE to associate the files on the card with QV-LINK

or some other application that can open JPEG files.

1. Slide the Function Switch to PLAY.

2. Press MENU.

• The above is also true about the names of folders inside

the QVIMG01 folder. These folders must be returned to the

names assigned to them by the camera (CAMERA,

FOLDER A, etc.) whenever you copy the QVIMG01 folder

back to the memory card for playback on the camera.

USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER

How to use the HTML file

IMPORTANT!

3. Use [+] and [–] to select

SETUP, and then press

the shutter button.

• Low battery power and insufficient remaining memory

capacity on the CompactFlash card can make it im-

possible to correctly generate an HTML file.

• When you turn off camera power, the operation indica-

tor lights to indicate that HTML files are being gener-

ated by the camera. If you remove the camera’s bat-

teries or disconnect the AC adaptor while the opera-

tion indicator is lit after turning off power, no HTML

files are generated.

Viewing HTML File Contents

Load the CompactFlash card into a card slot of your com-

puter (page 111). Now drop the INDEX.HTM file (in the

QVIMG01 folder) onto your Web browser to display a list of

all images contained on the CompactFlash card.

File name

4. Use [+] and [–] to select

HTML, and then press

the shutter button.

• 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 slide the power switch to-

wards OFF.

Because of this, we recommend that you normally

leave HTML file generation turned off, except when

you actually want to generate HTML files.

• If you perform a timer operation while HTML file gen-

eration is turned on, HTML files are not generated un-

til the number of shots specified for the timer's SHOTS

setting are recorded. If you want to generate HTML

files for images recorded by a timer operation that is

not yet complete, turn the camera off, wait for the

HTML files to be generated, and then turn the camera

back on again. Note, however, that this also cancels

the ongoing timer operation.
