General Precautions  
• 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 recording them on video tape or by trans-  
ferring them to personal computer memory.  
MEMORY ERROR message  
The following error appears on the built-in monitor whenever the  
camera’s flash memory becomes disabled due to malfunction or im-  
proper operation.  
• Never open the battery compartment cover, disconnect the AC

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.  
Never load manganese batteries into  
the camera! Doing so not only results  
in shortened battery life, it also causes  
batteries to generate heat that can  
cause serious damage to the camera.  
Always use Alkaline batteries only.  
2. Insert four batteries.  
Caution  
• Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries  
are facing properly when you load them in the camera.  
• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for  
more than two weeks.  
• Never mix old batteries with new ones.  
Be sure to use only AA-size Alkaline batteries. Never use  
• 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.  
manganese batteries (see precautions on the next page).  
Make sure that the positive + and negative - ends of the  
batteries are facing correctly.  
25  
26  
Power Supply  
Getting Acquainted  
• Never mix batteries of different types.  
Low Battery Indicator  
• 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.  
A low battery indicator (  
) appears on the LCD whenever remain-  
ing battery power drops below a certain level.  
Standard Battery Life  
You can generally expect to get about 120 minutes of operation from  
a fresh set of LR6 (AM3) Alkaline batteries at normal temperature.  
Note that battery life is shortened by extreme cold.  
When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set  
of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect  
only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure.  
Flash Memory  
The QV-10 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.

Power Supply  
Getting Acquainted  
Auto Power Off  
Using AC Power  
Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any cam-  
era operation for a period of time. Power turns off after about two  
minutes in the Record Mode or after about five minutes in the Play-  
back Mode.  
To power the camera from standard AC power, use the AC adaptor  
(AD-C60) that comes with this camera.  
AC power terminal  
AD-C60  
* To restore power, simply slide the POWER switch to the right as  
you normally do.  
AC outlet  
AC Adaptor precautions  
• Always be sure to use the AD-C60  
AC adaptor only. Using any other  
AC adaptor can cause damage to  
the camera not covered by the war-  
ranty.  
Important!  
The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following  
conditions.  
• When unplugging the AC adaptor  
from the wall socket, be sure to  
grasp the adaptor (not the cord).  
Caution  
• During Auto Play (page 59)  
• When operations are being performed on a computer connected to  
the camera via the camera’s DIGITAL terminal (page 81).  
• 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.

Power Supply  
Getting Acquainted  
• If the power cord should become damaged (exposed wires, discon-  
nection, etc.), please purchase a new AC adaptor. Use of a dam-  
aged power cord may cause fire or electrical shock.  
• 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. It 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.

on using this switch.  
Note  
• The QV-10 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  
Operation  
• 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 im-  
possible, it can also corrupt other im-  
age data already stored in camera  
memory.  
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 directly,  
and not from an angle.  
Caution  
• Take care that your finger is not  
blocking the lens.  
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.  
• When the image is situated on the  
LCD as you want it, press the shutter  
button.  
• Use a tripod whenever possible when recording images in dim light-  
ing. The QV-10 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.  
• Press the shutter button lightly to  
avoid moving the camera. See page  
36 for information on how to avoid  
hand movement.  
Fluorescent Lighting  
• The message “WAIT” appears on the  
LCD for about four seconds 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” mes-  
sage disappears.  
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. Because of this, we recommend  
that you use incandescent lighting or some other non-fluorescent  
lighting whenever possible.  
• Here you could change the function  
switch to the PLAY position and view  
the image you just recorded.

Operation  
Infrared Light  
Changing the Lens Orientation  
Infrared light generated by a flash or other source can create image  
color problems, such as red areas being recorded as green. Such  
color problems will show up in the LCD while you are composing the  
image.  
The lens of the camera is built into a lens body that is designed to  
rotate. This means you can change the angle of the lens without mov-  
ing the rest of the camera.

Operation  
Notes  
Exposure Adjustment  
• 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.  
This camera features an automatic exposure (AE) function that auto-  
matically changes the shutter speed in accordance with lighting. In  
addition, you can also manually adjust the exposure to compensate  
for backlighting, indirect indoor lighting, dark backgrounds, and other  
special conditions.  
• The exposure adjustment value is changed by 0.25 with each press  
of [+] or [–]. The range of the value is -2 to +2.  
• The exposure adjustment value automatically reverts to zero when-  
ever the shutter button is pressed. To reset the exposure adjust-  
ment value to zero without pressing the shutter button, turn the  
camera off and on again, or change the position of the function  
switch to PLAY and then back to REC.  
To manually adjust the exposure  
1. Enter the Record Mode.  
Set the function switch to the REC  
position.  
2. Use the [+] and [–] buttons to manually adjust the exposure.  
Pressing [+] makes the image on

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-  
sure. This setting works best outdoors and  
with back lit images.

Recording Images  
Operation  
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.  
Record Mode Displays  
The following provides details on the images, indicators and mes-  
sages that appear on the LCD in the Record Mode.  
Image Display  
An image of the object that is picked up by the camera’s lens appears  
on the LCD. The QV-10 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.  
To clear the image number  
from the LCD, press the DISP  
button again.  
Note  
Note  
• The LCD image that appears in the Playback Mode is more detailed  
than the image produced in the Record Mode (page 49). Because  
of this, you should consider the Record Mode image to be a reason-  
able facsimile of the image that is actually stored in memory.  
• 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 52), and the zoom area indicator used  
in the zoom operation (page 57). 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.  
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.

Exposure Warning Indicators  
Low Battery Indicator  
The low battery indicator (  
Exposure warning indicators appear on the LCD whenever the light  
being picked up by the lens would result in under exposure or over  
exposure of an image.  
) appears on the LCD whenever re-  
maining battery power drops below a certain level.  
When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set  
of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect  
only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure.  
Under exposure  
Over exposure  
Use the procedure described on page 42 to change the aperture or  
change the lighting of the image so the indicator disappears from the  
LCD.  
• See page 25 for details on how to replace batteries.  
Memory Full Message  
The message “MEMORY FULL” appears on the LCD whenever you  
press the shutter button while camera memory is full.  
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 41) cannot be  
used when an exposure warning indicator is on the LCD. Clear the  
warning indicator by changing the aperture switch setting.  
If you want to record more images, you must first delete some of the  
images already stored in camera memory. See page 70 for details on  
how to delete images.

ing, it will also be printed with the image. If this happens, either  
replace batteries or use the AC adaptor.  
3. Enter the QV-10 Playback Mode (page 49) and start the video deck  
record operation.  
• It is probably best to use auto play (page 59) when recording QV-10  
images to video tape, because it changes pages automatically at a  
preset speed.

Computer (Video Capture)  
This package includes special software (two versions, for Windows  
and the Macintosh) and a special cable that allow you to transfer im-  
ages from the QV-10 to a personal computer. Images are transferred  
as digital data, which ensures minimum loss of image quality.  
You can use the special video cable that comes with the QV-10 to  
connect directly to the VIDEO IN terminal of a personal computer  
equipped with video capture capabilities.  
To transfer QV-10 images to a personal computer (video cap-  
ture)  
Certain requirements concerning your computer model and its oper-  
ating system must be met to use the special software that comes in  
this package. For details, see the Owner’s Manual that comes with  
the Connection Kit.  
1. Use the special video cable that comes with the camera to connect  
to the VIDEO IN terminal of the computer.  
2. Enter the QV-10 Playback Mode (page 49) and display the image  
you want to send.  
Note:You can also connect directly to a computer that has video cap-  
ture capabilities (page 82).  
3. Perform the required operation on the computer.  
• Consult the owner’s guide that comes with the computer or its video  
capture board for details about how to set up to capture images.  
Important!  
• With this configuration, you cannot send images from the personal  
computer to the QV-10.  
• The QV-10 can be connected directly to a personal computer or  
video capture board that is equipped with a VIDEO IN terminal  
(RCA pin jack). It cannot be connected directly to an S-VIDEO ter-  
minal.

• 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.  
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 provider to have the  
light source replaced. Note that you will be charged for this replace-  
ment.  
• Under very cold conditions, the backlight may require more time  
than normal to light, or reddish bands may appear in the image.  
These conditions do not indicate malfunction, and normal operation  
should return at higher temperatures.
