Power Supply Use only the special HR-3U rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported. This camera does not have separate batteries for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared whenever power is totally cut off (from both the batteries and AC adaptor). Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted.

Approximately 75 g (2.6 oz)

LCD Panel The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that less 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. This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

PROGRAM VERSION UPGRADING

1. To update the firmware version 1. Prepare the memory card which contains the firmware for QV-R41/R51/R52 in the root directory. QV-R41: QV-R41.bin QV-R51: QV-R51.bin QV-R52: QV-R52.bin 2. Insert the above memory card in the camera, and then connect the AC adaptor or set a fully charged battery 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. PROGRAM UPDATE YES NO NEW VERSION IS VER 1.00

(As of October 2004)

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.

VER 1.00 (As of October 2004) 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 firmware 1. Prepare the following firmware restoration program and change its name as follows; QV-R41: rom865-040623.lbn jupiter.bin QV-R51: rom866-040623.lbn jupiter.bin QV-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 pressing the 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 removing the AC adaptor or the battery after the above firmware restoration. Confirm that the LED which is green steady turns off.

7. Turn the power on again while pressing [MENU] and [DISP]. The firmware restoration is complete after the 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 an image. 3. To install the firmware Initially, 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 installed in 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.lbn QV-R51: QV-R51.bin, rom866-040623.lbn QV-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. The LED next to the optical viewfinder changes from green/red blinking, green linking to green steady. 5. When the LED becomes green steady, turn the power off by removing the AC adaptor or the battery. <System Initialize> 1. Boot the test mode. 2. Press [>] twice and then press [MENU]. 3. Select 7: ROM UPDATE and then press [SET]. 4. Select 5: SYSTEMINITIALIZE and then press [SET]. 5. When the following message appears, press [SET]. SYSTEM INITIALIZE START. PUSH OK KEY? 6. The system initialize is performed and the following error message appears. SYSTEM ERROR 7. Turn the power off. <Writing the firmware> 1. While pressing [MENU], turn the power on. 2. When PROGRAM UPDATE appears, select YES and then press [SET]. 3. NOWLOADING appears while the firmware is updated. 4. When COMPLETE appears, the firmware update is complete. 5. Turn the power on and off to check if the camera normally functions. If there is no problem, the firmware update is successful.

ADJ Tool
s Introduction Make sure to perform the adjustment by the USB ADJ Tool adj03SSAW.exe when replacing the lens unit 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.dll uusbd.inf uusbd.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.

9) The file copy starts. (If a message uusbd.inf cannot be found appears during the file copy, designate the same place as in the step 7). 10) Press Complete button. 11) Right-click My computer, select property, and then open Device manager. If Universal USB Driver (VMEM manufacturers name),USB device for UUSBD can be found, the computer has successfully recognized the driver. 12) The test driver can be used for both CASIO/PENTAX. Installing the test driver into either one enables the 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 recognizes the 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).
