* The camera also has a lithium battery that powers its built-in clock. When the power of this battery becomes weak, take the camera to your CASIO Service Provider to have it replaced. * The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of precision engineering, with an effective pixel rate 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.
ADJUSTMENT 1. Adjustments to be done (1) Whole unit 1. Loading ADJ program 2. White balance, Sensitivity 3. White scratch correction 4. Flash operation and charge current check 5. VCOM-DC adjustment 6. Current consumption Note: When the lens ass'y is replaced, adjustment should be done in order of above 1, 2, and 3. (2) D-PCB 1.
Adjustments and Checks (1) Insert CompactFlash card and turn the camera on for PLAY mode. (2) Connect the camera‘s 3-pin jack and PC’s RS232C port with a link cable. QV-5500SX RS232C port Link cable (3) Execute adj712f.exe on Windows 95 or 98. (Fig. 1) (Fig.
