Setting Up to Access CompactFlash Card
Contents From Your Computer
You can use any of the three methods described below to
access the contents of a memory card with your computer.
If you use your computer to change the fixed names of the

CompactFlash Memory Card Slot
If your computer has a CompactFlash Memory Card Slot, in-
sert the camera’s memory card into the slot.
PC Card Slot
In this case you need an optionally available CASIO CA-10

Card Adaptor and the documentation that comes with your
computer for details on using this type of configuration.
Other Desktop Computer Configurations
Some desktop computers require a separately available PC

USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
Image Files Supported by the Camera
• Image files recorded with the CASIO QV-5500SX Digital
Camera
• JPEG files stored using QV-LINK 2.6 (LK-22S)
(1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file)
• JPEG files stored using QV-CRAFT
(1280 x 960 pixels or 640 x 480 pixels JPEG file)
Personal Computer
• This camera uses management files to manage the se-
quence and attributes of image files. Because of this, add-
ing files, deleting files, changing management file con-
tents, or changing file sequence and attributes with your
computer can cause movie and panorama images to be-
come ungrouped. It can also result in slower image scroll-
ing on the camera.
• When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard
disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage,
keep everything in the QVIMG02 folder together. Changing
the name of the QVIMG02 folder to a date is a good way to
keep track of your images. However, be sure to change the
name of this folder back to QVIMG02 if you ever copy it
back to the memory card for playback on the camera. This
camera does not recognize any folder name besides
QVIMG02.
• The above is also true about the names of folders inside
the QVIMG02 folder. These folders must be returned to the
names assigned to them by the camera (CAMERA,
FOLDER A, etc.) whenever you copy the QVIMG02 folder
back to the memory card for playback on the camera.
• Never delete or modify the QVS file in any way.
• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
from a CompactFlash card to other external storage that
you re-format the card and delete its contents before using
it to record more images.
Macintosh Precautions
• Initializing a CompactFlash card with this camera initializes
it to ATA format. Under ATA format, Apple Macintosh com-
puters recognize files on the card as text files. Use PC EX-
CHANGE to associate the files on the card with QV-LINK
or some other application that can open JPEG files.
