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.

• 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.

(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.

Charger Set BC-1HB4
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.

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.

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.

• If there are more than 250 image files in a folder (due to
copying from another digital camera or a computer), only

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.

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.

on the memory card using DCF (Design Rule for Camera
File System) protocol. DCF protocol is designed to make it
easier to exchange image and other data between digital
cameras and other devices.

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.

Card Browser
• 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.

• Note that the Type1 and Type3 formats use Java

• In the case off Type1 and Type3, Slide Show displays
SVGA (800 x 600) size images in the same size as
UXGA (1600 x 1200) images. Because of this, image
details may appear relatively coarse.

• 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
the file generation operation to be performed. You can
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.
