Power Supply

• Use only the special HR-3U rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries to power this camera. Use of any other type of batteryis not supported.

• This camera does not have separate batteries for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared wheneverpower is totally cut off (from both the batteries and AC adaptor). Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted.

LCD Panel

• The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means thatless than 0.01% of the total pixels are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).

Lens

• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. Thisis due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

PROGRAM VERSION UPGRADING

1. To update the firmware version1. Prepare the memory card which contains the firmware for QV-R41/R51/R52 in the root directory.

QV-R41: QV-R41.binQV-R51: QV-R51.binQV-R52: QV-R52.bin

2. Insert the above memory card in the camera, and then connect the AC adaptor or set a fully chargedbattery in the camera.

3. While pressing [MENU], press the power button. Keep pressing [MENU] until “PROGRAM UPDATE”appears in the display.• The following appears.• The version of the firmware in the memory card appears at the bottom of the display.

VER 1.00

4. Align the white cursor to [YES] by [�] and [�], and then press [SET].• “NOW LOADING” appears in the display.

5. “COMPLETE” appears after the update finishes.6. Remove the memory card after turning the power off once. Turn the power back on again while pressing

[MENU], and check the version.

PROGRAM UPDATEYESNONEW VERSION ISVER 1.00

• “VER.1.00” appears.7. If the version is correct, turn the power off.8. Finally, check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting an image.

2. How to restore the firmware1. Prepare the following firmware restoration program and change its name as follows;

QV-R41: rom865-040623.lbn �� jupiter.binQV-R51: rom866-040623.lbn �� jupiter.binQV-R52: rom869-040913.lbn �� jupiter.bin

2. Copy the above file to the root directory in the memory card.3. Insert the memory card into the camera.4. Connect the AD adaptor or set a fully charged battery in the camera.5. Turn the power on while pressing the shutter release button.

If the power does not turn on only by pressing the power button, try inserting the battery while pressingthe shutter release button.The LED next to the optical viewfinder changes from “green/red blinking” to “green steady”.

6. When the LED becomes “green steady”, the firmware restoration is finished.Remove the AC adaptor or the battery and then turn the power off.

NOTE: It takes about ten seconds for this camera to completely turn the power off even by removingthe AC adaptor or the battery after the above firmware restoration.

Confirm that the LED which is “green steady” turns off.

(As of October 2004)

7. Turn the power on again while pressing [MENU] and [DISP]. The firmware restoration is complete afterthe model name and the program version (PR:) appear in the opening screen of the test menu.

QV-R41 �� ++KX865++PR:04.06.23.13.19

QV-R51 �� ++KX866++PR:04.06.23.13.22

QV-R52 �� ++KX869++PR:04.09.13.17.54

8. Finally, start the camera normally to check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting animage.

3. To install the firmwareInitially, firmware is not installed in the PCB supplied by the parts center.Install the firmware into the PCB after replacing with a new one as shown in the procedures below.

NOTE: The camera does not turn on (only LED becomes “green blinking”) if the firmware is not installedin the PCB.

<Writing the restoration program>1. Copy the following software to the root directly of the SD card.

QV-R41: QV-R41.bin, rom865-040623.lbnQV-R51: QV-R51.bin, rom866-040623.lbnQV-R52: QV-R52.bin, rom869_040913.lbn

2. Change the name as follows;“rom865-040623.lbn” to “jupiter.bin”“rom866-040623.lbn” to “jupiter.bin”“rom869_040913.lbn” to “jupiter.bin”

3. Insert the SD card into the camera.4. While pressing the shutter release button, insert the battery.

ADJ Tool

■ Introduction

Make sure to perform the adjustment by the USB ADJ Tool “adj03SSAW.exe” when replacing the lensunit or the PCB.

Here the necessary software, driver and setting are explained to use “adj03SSAW.exe”.

Note that the tool, drivers etc. are available only for Windows.

1. Preparation

1-1. Prepare the necessary software, driver and DLL file.

1) Prepare the following three files.

• Common test driver for CASIO/PENTAX

[testmode_pentax_casio] folder uusbd.dlluusbd.infuusbd.sys

• ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file

[adj03SSAW] folder adj03SSAW.exe (ADJ tool itself)uusbd.dll (USB DLL)*.adt (ADJ setting file. Sorted by models)

* Place all files in the same folder.

2) Place the common test driver for CASIO/PENTAX in an appropriate place.

3) Place all of ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file in the same folder.

1-2. Set the camera so that it recognizes the USB test mode.

1) Enter the test menu.

Turn the power on while pressing both [MENU] and [DISP].

Press [>], [>] and [MENU].

2) Move the cursor to “3: USB TCC TEST” and press [SET].

3) Move the cursor to “1: USB TCC ON” and press [SET].

4) The USB test mode flag is now saved in the camera. Turn the power off.

5) When the USB test mode flag is ON, the test menu appears first when the camera power is turned on.

* When turning the USB test mode flag OFF, set “2: USB TCC OFF” in the test menu.

1-3. Install the USB driver for the USB test mode in the computer.

(The following is an example using the Windows Me.)

1) Prepare the USB driver for the USB test mode.

2) Turn the camera power on which is set in the USB test mode as shown in 1-2 and let it enter the USBtest mode directly (the test menu appears right after the power is turned on).

3) Connect the camera in the above status to the computer by the USB cable.

4) The “Add new hardware” wizard appears.

5) Check “Designate the place for the driver (for users with sufficient knowledge)” and press “Next”.

6) Check “Search for the optimum driver for the device (recommended)”.

7) Check “Designate the place to search”, designate the place which contains “inf” file in the driver bypressing “Reference” button, and then press “Next” button.

8) When “Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturer’s name)” appears upon message “Searching forthe driver file for the following devices”, press “Next” button.

— 14 —

9) The file copy starts.

(If a message “uusbd.inf cannot be found” appears during the file copy, designate the same place asin the step 7).

10) Press “Complete” button.

11) Right-click “My computer”, select “property”, and then open “Device manager”.

If “Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturer’s name)”,“USB device for UUSBD” can be found, thecomputer has successfully recognized the driver.

12) The test driver can be used for both CASIO/PENTAX. Installing the test driver into either one enablesthe other one to recognize it.

* How to uninstall the USB driver for the USB test mode

• Connect the camera to the computer while in the USB test mode so that the computer recognizesthe camera.

• Right-click “My computer”, select “Property” and open “Device manager”.

• Select “USB device for UUSBD” , and then “Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturer's name)”.

• Press “Delete” button to delete the driver.

• When using Windows98/98SE/Me, delete the following three files;

(NOTE! Do NOT delete “usbd.inf” and “usbd.sys”, whose names are much alike the following.)

C:windows / inf / uusbd.inf

C:windows / inf / other / KashiwanoUUSBD.inf

C:windows / system32 / drivers / uusbd.sys

• The driver has been successfully deleted.

1-4. Use the USB ADJ Tool

1) Prepare ADJ tool, USB DLL and ADJ setting file in the same folder.

2) Turn the camera power on which is set in the USB test mode and let it enter the USB test mode directly(the test menu appears right after the power is turned on).

3) Boot “adj03SSAW.exe” and use it as follows;

• To read ADJ data from the camera

�� Press “READ ($9)”.

There is no need to set the model by “FW Item Set”.

• To write ADJ data into the camera

�� Press “WRITE ($8)”.

• To save ADJ data which is read

�� Select “File” and “Save All ADJ”, and save it under an appropriate name.

• Open ADJ data which is saved

�� 1. Select the model by "FW Item Set", and then press "Load FW ->" button.

2. Select “File” and “Open”, and open the necessary file.

• Language” radio button can switch the language between Japanese and English in which the nameof the ADJ ITEM is displayed.

• “Radix” radio button can switch the data display between decimal and hexadecimal notations.
