easy to keep track of images. You can protect images
against deletion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify
images for printing.
A folder is created automatically whenever you shoot the
first image on a particular date. The name assigned to the
folder is based on the current date, as described below. You
can have up to 900 folders on a memory card at the same
time (subject to storage capacity restrictions).
Folders and Files
Example: Folder created on July 19, which is the 100th
folder on the memory card
Whenever you shoot an image, the camera automatically
creates a folder for the current date (as kept by the camera’s
built in clock). Any images you shoot on a particular day are
all stored as image files inside the same folder.

Connecting the Wired Remote Controller
Connecting an External Flash Unit
(QV-2900UX Only)
to the Camera
The optionally available wired remote controller lets you op-
erate the camera with touching it. This capability helps to
avoid the effects of unintended camera movement when
shooting at slow shutter speeds or with high telephoto set-
tings with the camera mounted on a tripod. You can also use
it to scroll through images during presentations on a TV
screen. For more information about using the wired remote
controller, see the instructions that come with it.
Use of a commercially available flash unit makes it possible
to obtain a higher level of brightness (guide number) than
you get when using the built-in flash alone. An external flash
also makes it possible to extend the effective range of flash
photography.
• The guide number of the internal flash is 9 (ISO 100/m).
External Flash Unit Requirements
The external flash unit you use with your camera must sat-
isfy the following requirements.
• Configuration: tripod hole mountable grip type with sync
cable; or tripod hole mountable with grip-equipped bracket
and sync cable
Wired Remote
Controller Model: WR-2C (option)
Approximate Cable Length: 1 meter
• Coverage Angle: Coverage of 40mm equivalent 35mm fo-
cal length lens (without wide conversion lens)
• Some flash performance may be lost when using a ring
flash or other type of unit with a long flash time.
• The aperture values and ISO sensitivity available with
some flash units may not match the values supported by
your camera. In such a case, make adjustments in the ap-
erture and ISO sensitivity settings of the external flash and
the camera until proper brightness is achieved.

the terminal or turn off external flash unit power.
• After recording an image, check it on the monitor
screen. If it is not what you expected, use the controls
on the external flash unit to adjust flash intensity, and
adjust the aperture and ISO sensitivity settings on the
camera. Note that you cannot control external flash
unit intensity using camera settings.
• Close up images often tend to be overexposed. If you
are having overexposure problems, try adjusting the
aperture and ISO sensitivity settings of the external
flash unit and the camera. You can also try using the
camera’s built in flash to correct for overexposure.
• Note that the camera’s built in flash fires whenever its

5. Turn on the external flash unit and set it up for
the camera’s aperture (F) value (page E-83)
and sensitivity value (page E-85).
• Depending on shooting conditions, proper exposure
may not be obtained even if you properly set the auto
aperture (F) value and ISO sensitivity of the flash unit
to match those of the camera. If this happens, adjust
the aperture value and ISO sensitivity settings of the
flash unit and camera.

and other devices.
DCF Protocol
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 sup-
port for the DCF protocol, your CASIO digital camera also use
dates in image folder names and image file names, which
helps to make data management easier.
I Another Computer
To access the contents on the memory card on a computer
that does not have a CompactFlash card slot or PC card slot,
use a commercially available PC card reader/writer in combi-
nation with a separately available CASIO PC Card Adapter
(CA-10). See the instructions that come with the PC card
reader/writer and the PC Card Adapter for information about
how to use them.

• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
Precautions when Using a Memory Card
on a Computer
from a memory card to other external storage that you re-
format the memory card and delete its contents before us-
ing it to record more images.
• This camera uses management files to manage the se-
quence and attributes of image files. Because of this, if you
use your computer to modify or delete memory card files, to
change management file contents, or to change image file
sequence and attributes and then transfer the images back to
the camera, you may end up with the wrong image sequence,
ungrouped panorama images, and slow image scrolling.
• Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top) folder
of all the files on a memory card. When transferring
memory card contents to a hard disk, floppy diskette, MO
disk, or other external storage, treat all the contents inside
a DCIM folder as a set and always keep them together.
Also, never use your computer to edit or delete the man-
agement files (those whose file names have the extension
.QVS) inside a DCIM folder. You can change the name of
the DCIM folder on your computer. Changing the name to a
date is a good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders.
However, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder
back to “DCIM” before you copy it back to a memory card
for playback on the camera. The camera does not recog-
nize any folder name other than DCIM.
• The camera formats memory cards using ATA format,
which means that a Macintosh sees all memory card files
as text files. To view memory card files on a Macintosh, use
PC Exchange to associate the files on the memory card
(which are JPEG/TIFF files) with an application that is able
to open JPEG/TIFF files.
• 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 folder back to the memory card for playback on
the camera.

off the Card Browser if you normally do not need to
use it. The power down routine performed by the cam-
era is much shorter when the Card Browser is turned

Saving Card Browser Files
• To save Card Browser files, use a USB cable connection
(page E-133) or memory card transfer (page E-135) to
copy the folder named “DCIM” on the memory card to a
hard disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external stor-
age. Never use your computer to edit or delete files, to add
new images, or to delete images. Doing so will make it im-
possible to view image normally using the Card Browser.
• Never edit or delete any of the files inside the “DCIM”
folder. You can use the Photo Loader application con-
tained on the bundled CD-ROM disc to save Card Browser
files. See the documentation that comes with Photo Loader
on the disc for full details.
• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
from a memory card to other external storage that you re-

Battery Life
• This camera does not have a separate battery to power its clock.
Clock settings are cleared whenever power to the camera is cut off
(by batteries going dead while the camera is not connected to an
AC power outlet with the AC adaptor) for about 24 hours. After
power is resumed, either by loading fresh batteries or connecting to
an AC power outlet, you will have to set the correct time and date
again.
The values noted below indicate the number of hours before battery failure
under normal operating temperature (25°C). These values are for reference
only, and do not guarantee that any particular set of batteries actually will
provide the service life indicated. Low temperatures shorten battery life.

Playback
• The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of preci-
sion engineering, with a pixel yield 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.
