General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever us-

ing the QV-300.

All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer

to the CASIO QV-300 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.

Precautions Liquid Crystal Digital Camera

• 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.

• 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, one of the memory error messages

(MEMORY ERROR #1 ~ MEMORY ERROR #4) appears, and further

operation of the camera will become impossible. If this should

happen, contact your dealer or the nearest CASIO service provider

as soon as possible.

Operating conditions

• 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 tem-

perature extremes

— Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun

— In areas subject to strong vibration

Condensation

• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or otherwise ex-

pose it to a sudden change of temperature, there is the possibility

that condensation can form on the exterior or on interior compo-

nents. Condensation can cause malfunction of the camera, so you

should avoid exposing it to conditions that might cause condensa-

tion.

• 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 condensation does form, remove the batteries from

the camera and leave the battery compartment cover open for a few

hours.

batteries are facing correctly.

• Press down on the battery compartment cover at the point

marked A in the above illustration until the cover locks into

place with a click.

Getting Acquainted

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

• 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.

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 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 guarantee that batteries will

perform the amount of service indicated. Battery life is reduced by low

temperatures and continued use.

LR6 (AM3) AA-size alkaline batteries

Approximately 130 minutes continuous operation

Recording for about 96 images (one image per minute)

FR6 AA-size lithium batteries

Approximately 220 minutes continuous operation

Recording for about 180 images (one image per minute)

Low Battery Indicator

The low battery indicator ( ) appears in the center of the LCD

whenever remaining battery power drops below a certain level. It tells

you that power will soon turn off automatically if you continue using

the camera without replacing batteries. Be sure to replace all four

batteries with a fresh set of new ones.

Getting Acquainted

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.

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 two

minutes in the Record Mode or after about five 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 38)

• 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-C60).

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 or electrical shock.

Use only the optional 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

service provider. A damaged AC

adaptor cord creates the danger of

fire or electrical shock.

Caution

Getting Acquainted

• 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 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.

Caution

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 the NORMAL position.

• If the object whose image you are

recording is about 10 centimeters

from the lens (about 4 inches), set

the TELE/WIDE switch to WIDE

and 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.

MACRO NORMAL

Operation

4. Use MODE to enter the resolution mode (FINE or NORMAL)

you want.

• Each press of MODE toggles between the Normal Mode

and Fine Mode.

• Note that the number of images that can be stored in

memory is different depending on whether images are

saved in the Normal Mode or Fine Mode. See “Resolution

Modes” on page 25 for details.

5. 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.

• Take care that your finger is not

blocking the lens.

• Should the lens become dirty, use

the cloth that comes with the cam-

era to clean it off.

• 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 21 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.

• Here you could change the function switch to the PLAY posi-

tion and view the image you just recorded.

MACRO NORMAL

REC

PLAY

Recording Images

Caution

• 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.

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.

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 cam-

era’s shutter actually releases. For best results, use a commercially

available video lights.

Operation

Infrared Light

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.

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).

Changing the Lens Orientation

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.

Rotates up to 90

towards the front

Rotates up to 180

towards the back

Recording Images

• Any images recorded while the lens body is rotated so the lens is

pointed from the back of the camera are stored as mirror images of

the image that appears in the LCD before the shutter button is

pressed.

Important!

• Do not apply excessive force when rotating the lens body. Doing so

can cause serious damage to the lens.

• Do not carry the camera or move it around while holding onto only

the lens body.

• Return the lens body to its normal position (with the lens pointing

from the front of the camera) before storing the camera.

Exposure Adjustment

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.

To manually adjust the exposure

1. Enter the Record Mode.

• Set the function switch to the REC position.

Resolution Modes

In addition to a Normal Mode, this camera also has a Fine Mode for

saving images using higher resolution. Use the MODE button to

switch between the Normal Mode and Fine Mode.

The following table shows how many images can be stored in

memory using each resolution mode.

Operation

2. Use the [+] and [–] buttons to manually adjust the exposure.

• Pressing [+] makes the image on the LCD brighter. Use it to

adjust for dim indoor lighting and backlighting.

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

adjust for bright sunlight.

3. After adjusting the exposure, press the shutter button to

record the image.

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 0.25 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. 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 disappears

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-

sure. This setting works best outdoors.

• Use the [○] (F2.6) setting to increase ex-

posure. This setting works best indoor and

with back lit images.

Note

• Also see page 28 for information about exposure warning indica-

tors.

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 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.

MACRO NORMAL

Operation

Remaining Pages/Resolution Mode Indicator

Pressing DISP in the Record Mode displays a value that shows how

many memory pages are available for recording images, along with

the current resolution mode setting (FINE or NORMAL).

1. Enter the Record Mode.

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 in the center of the LCD

whenever remaining battery power drops below a certain level. It tells

you that power will soon turn off automatically if you continue using

the camera without replacing batteries. Be sure to replace all four

batteries with a fresh set of new ones.

Note that the camera is designed to automatically turn off power

earlier when a personal computer or other equipment is connected to

the camera’s DIGITAL terminal for data communications, in order to

protect against problems due to data corruption. Because of this, it is

recommended that your use the camera’s optional AC adaptor

whenever performing data communications.

• See page 13 for details on how to replace batteries.

Memory Full Message

If you are recording images in the Fine Mode and there is not enough

memory for further Fine Mode recording, the message “REMAIN”

appears on the monitor screen along with a value that shows how

many images can still be recorded in the Normal Mode. You can

press MODE at this time to change to the Normal Mode and record

more image if you want.

The message “MEMORY FULL” means that there is not enough

memory for further recording in any mode. In this case, you have to use

the following procedures make room in memory for further recording.

• Delete some images from memory (page 46)

• Change the resolution of some of the stored images from FINE to

NORMAL (page 50)

• 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.
