CAUTION

AC Adaptor precautions

Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the AC adaptor. Doing so can create the danger of fire or elec- trical shock. Use only the optional AC adaptor specified for this camera.

Do not allow the AC adaptor power cord to be- come cut or damaged, do not place heavy ob- jects on it, and keep it away from heat. A dam- aged power cord creates the risk of fire and electrical shock.

Never try to modify the AC adaptor power cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or pull- ing. Doing so creates the risk of fire and elec- trical shock.

Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electrical shock.

Do not overload extension cords or wall out- lets. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Should the cord of the AC adaptor become damaged (exposed internal wiring), request a replacement from an authorized CASIO ser- vice provider. A damaged AC adaptor cord creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.

Be sure to turn off power before connecting or disconnect- ing the adaptor.

Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor, even if the camera has batteries installed. If you don’t, the camera will turn off automatically when you dis- connect the AC adaptor. You also run the risk of damaging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor with- out first turning power off.

The AC adaptor may become warm to touch after extended periods of use. This is normal and is not cause for alarm.

After using the camera, turn it off and unplug the adaptor from the AC outlet.

The camera automatically switches over to AC adaptor powered operation whenever the AC adaptor is plugged into the camera.

Always use the AC adaptor to power the camera whenever it is connected to a computer.

QV-4000 specifications

The Casio QV-4000, released in 2001, is a standout model in the digital camera landscape, particularly for those who value quality and versatility in photography. With its 4-megapixel sensor, the QV-4000 was considered cutting-edge at the time, providing an impressive level of detail and clarity. Users could capture images with a maximum resolution of 2272 x 1704 pixels, which allowed for vibrant prints and digital displays.

One of the main features of the QV-4000 is its 3x optical zoom lens, which ranges from 7.5mm to 22.5mm (equivalent to 38mm to 114mm in 35mm terms). This capability enabled photographers to capture both wide-angle shots and close-ups with ease, enhancing creativity and flexibility. The camera's built-in macro mode further complemented this feature, allowing users to focus on subjects as close as 10 cm, making it an excellent choice for nature photography and detailed product shots.

Another notable characteristic of the QV-4000 is its user-friendly design. The camera features a large 2.5-inch LCD screen for composing shots and reviewing images, providing ample space for users to navigate settings and playback features. The inclusion of a range of shooting modes, including portrait, landscape, and night scene, catered to different photography scenarios, ensuring that users could achieve optimal results regardless of the conditions.

In terms of connectivity and storage, the QV-4000 utilized CompactFlash cards, which were popular at the time. This made it easy to expand the camera's storage capacity, allowing photographers to capture a vast number of images without worrying about running out of space. The camera was also equipped with USB connectivity, facilitating quick transfers of images to computers for editing and sharing.

The Casio QV-4000 was powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing a decent amount of shooting time on a single charge. This was particularly advantageous for photographers on the go who preferred not to carry spare batteries.

In summary, the Casio QV-4000 is a feature-rich digital camera that combines high-resolution imaging, optical zoom capability, and user-friendly controls. Its strengths in versatility and connectivity have made it a memorable option for enthusiasts looking to explore the possibilities of digital photography. Despite advancements in technology, the QV-4000 remains a testament to the quality and functionality that Casio offered in the early 2000s.
