General Precautions
Be sure to observe the following important precautions
whenever using the QV-R61. All references in this manual
to “camera” refer to the CASIO QV-R61 Digital Camera.
■ Test for proper operation before using the
camera!
• Before using the camera to record important images,
make sure you first record a number of test images and
check the results to ensure that the camera is
configured correctly and operating properly (page 22).
■ Avoid Use While In Motion
• Never use the camera to record or play back images
while operating an automobile or other vehicle, or while
walking. Looking at the monitor while in motion creates
the risk of serious accident.
■ Directly Viewing the Sun or Bright Light
• Never look at the sun or any other bright light through
the camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your
eyesight.
■ Flash
• Never use the flash unit in areas where flammable or
explosive gas may be present. Such conditions create
the risk of fire and explosion.
• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person
operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with
the driver’s vision and creates the risk of accident.
• Never fire the flash too close to the eyes of the subject.
Doing so creates the risk of loss of eyesight.
■ Display Panel
• Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD panel surface
or subject it to strong impact. Doing so can cause the
display panel glass to crack.
• Should the display panel ever become cracked, never
touch any of the liquid inside the panel. Doing so
creates the risk of skin inflammation.
• Should display panel liquid ever get into your mouth,
immediately rinse your mouth out and contact your
physician.
• Should display panel liquid ever get into your eyes or
onto your skin, immediately rinse with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and contact your physician.
