INTRODUCTION Precautions General Precautions Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the QV-R41/QV-R51. All references in this manual to "this camera" and "the camera" refer to the CASIO QV-R41/QV-R51 Digital Camera. I 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. I 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. I 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. I 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. 11
