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-8000SX.
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-8000SX 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.
Operating conditions
• 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.
• 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-53.
•
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.

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.
Date Setting
No data setting is made before the camera is shipped from
the factory. Be sure to use the procedure on page E-44 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.

Using the Strap as a Wrist Strap
Using the Strap as a Shoulder Strap
Detach the upper strap from the main strap (Figure 1), and

(Figure 2)
Main strap
• Be sure to keep the strap around your wrist whenever
using the camera to protect against accidentally drop-
ping it.
• The supplied strap is intended for use with this cam-
era only. Do not use for any other application.
• Never swing the camera around by the strap.
• Allowing the camera to swing freely from your neck
can result in damage to the camera due to its bumping
against other objects. It also creates the danger of the
camera becoming caught in a door or on other ob-
jects, resulting in personal injury.

UNPACKING
Using the Soft Case
Using the Wired Remote Controller
Keep the camera in its soft case to protect it when not in use.
The wired remote controller that comes with the camera can
be used to control the camera. When using a slow shutter
speed or telephoto, you can avoid blurring of the image due
to camera movement by mounting the camera on a tripod
and using the wired remote controller to trigger the record
operation. You can also use remote control for playback dur-
ing presentations.
Make sure the lens is facing
up and the monitor screen is
facing down.

MEMORY CARDS
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-90).
• 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-116). 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.

• 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.
Month Day
Extension (JPG or AVI)
Serial number
• 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.
• Panorama images are divided into multiple images and
stored on the memory card.
• See “USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COM-
PUTER” on page E-103 for information about how files and
folders are organized.
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.
• Up to 900 folders can be created on a single card.

● 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.
Nickel-metal hydride Batteries (4-battery set)/Quick
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.
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.

types:
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium:
Energizer
● How low temperature affects battery life
Ni-MH (Nickel-metal hydride): CASIO NP-H3
• Battery life varies with brand.
• 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.
• Figures are based on continuous recording under the fol-
lowing conditions.

• 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.
• The flash is disabled in the Movie Mode. This is indi-
cated by the indicator.
• The flash unit will not charge when battery power is
low. The indicator appears 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
1. Slide the Function Switch to REC.
3. After adjusting the exposure, press the shutter
button to record the image.
2. Use [+] and [–] to perform exposure compensa-
tion.
• Pressing [+] or [–] displays an EV indicator that shows
the current exposure compensation setting.
NOTES
• 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.
• Pressing [+] makes the image on the monitor screen
brighter. Use it to adjust for dim indoor lighting and
backlighting.
• 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).
• Pressing [–] makes the image on the monitor screen
darker. Use it to adjust for bright sunlight.
• The EV indicator turns red whenever the compensa-
tion value is at its limit.
• 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.

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.

Night Scene Mode
• The maximum shutter speed in the Night Scene
Mode is one second. Set the shutter speed manually
(page E-70) when you want to use a slower speed.
• The shutter speed is quite slow in the Night Scene
Mode, so you should be sure to use a tripod to hold
the camera steady.
The Night Scene Mode is for recording images in dark areas.
When recording images of people on a twilight or night time
background, you can use the flash in combination with the
Night Scene Mode for slow synchro recording.
• Slow shutter speed also causes slow monitor screen
refresh. Because of this, the image recorded may be
slightly different from the image that was on the moni-
tor screen when you pressed the shutter button.
• Auto Focus is difficult in the dark. If you experience
problems, use manual focusing (page E-59). There
may be some blurring of the image if the subject is fast
moving.

Aperture Priority Image Recording
• When the Shutter Speed is set to “Bulb”, exposure
continues as long as you depress the shutter button.
Because of this, use of the wired remote control unit is
recommended whenever using the “Bulb” setting.
You can fix the aperture at a specific level. A larger aperture
(indicated by a smaller aperture value) narrows the focus
range, while a smaller aperture widens the focus range.
• The self-timer is disabled while the Shutter Speed is
set to “Bulb”.
Wide aperture (F3.2)
Decreased aperture (F8)
• The slowest shutter speed when “Bulb” is selected is
64 seconds.
• Note that using a slower shutter speed increases the
chance of static being present in your image, and the
amount of static visible in an image is inversely pro-
portional to the shutter speed.
Manual settings: F3.2, F4.8, F8
Auto: Automatic aperture setting in accordance with subject
• At shutter speeds of one second or slower, the cam-
era automatically performs internal data processing
intended to limit image static, so the image record op-
eration takes longer at slow shutter speeds. At shutter
speeds of one second or greater, doubling the shutter
speed setting tells you about how long it takes for an
image to be recorded. For example, image recording
with a shutter speed of one second takes about two
seconds.
• You can fix both the aperture and shutter speed (page
E-70).
• For shutter speed priority recording, set the “Shutter
Speed” setting to “Auto”.
• Adjust the aperture setting to compensate for the relative
brightness or darkness of the subject you are recording.

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-103 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
the first 250 (in name sequence) can be played back.

for information about system requirements.
• Be sure to turn off the camera, computer, and all pe-
ripherals (monitor, disk driver, etc.) connected to the
computer before connecting the digital camera with
the Data Transfer Cable.
• Never connect or disconnect the cable while Photo
Loader is running. Doing so can cause problems with
program execution, can corrupt data, and can damage
the camera and your computer.
• Data transfer while camera batteries are low can re-
sult in sudden shutdown of the camera. Because of
this, use of the optional AC adaptor is recommended
whenever performing data communication with the
camera.
• This camera does not support data communication
with any of the optionally available CASIO PC link
software applications: LK-1, LK-1A, LK-10V, LK-11W,
LK-2, LK-2A, LK-2V, LK-21.

Setting Up to Access CompactFlash
Card Contents From Your Computer
You can use any of the three methods described below to
access the contents of a memory card with your computer.
You can use the Photo Loader software to save images on
the memory card to your computer.
Some desktop computers require a separately available PC
card reader/writer and the optionally available CASIO CA-10
PC Card Adaptor to read memory card contents. See the
instructions that come with the PC card reader/writer and the
PC Card Adaptor for details on using this type of configura-
tion.
CompactFlash Memory Card Slot
If your computer has a CompactFlash Memory Card Slot, in-
sert the camera’s memory card into the slot.
PC Card Slot
In this case you need an optionally available CASIO CA-10
PC Card Adaptor. See the instructions that come with the PC
Card Adaptor and the documentation that comes with your
computer for details on using this type of configuration.

Memory Card Data
Images recorded with this camera and other data is stored
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.

Personal Computer
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-8000SX.
• 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

USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
• The index screen uses the contents of the Preview
• 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 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.
• If you perform a timer operation while Card Browser is
turned on, files are not generated until the number of
shots specified for the timer's SHOTS setting are re-
corded. If you want to generate files for images re-
corded by a timer operation that is not yet complete,
turn the camera off, wait for the files to be generated,
and then turn the camera back on again. Note, how-
ever, that this also cancels the ongoing timer opera-
tion.
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.
