Question about Casio QV-R40 Digital Camera

Images seem over-exposed

My QV-R40 is about three years old. It has worked fine until last week. Now, when I take a picture inside it looks like it has been tinted blue and it is often fuzzy. Outdoor pictures are almost completely whited-out with just faint traces of blue in the dark places of the image. I have tried to rearrange some of the image recording settings but nothing seems to be working.

My camera is exactly 4 years old and has identical problems since one week.
Is there anybody who knows a solution?

Same thing. Its working fine and then the next shot was over-exposed. The cause could be I have taken a shot of the sun and might affected the sensitivity of the lens. It is still a good digicam though old but if there is a way to solve or re-set this digicam please let me know.

I have the same problem too. It happened suddenly. It seems the exposure meter or algorithm gone crazy.

Casio QV-R40 system error 0e01

This may not do anything, and you may have already thought of this, but here goes...

1. Take out the SD card if you have one in the camera.

2. Remove the batteries and leave them out for 24 hours. Put in GOOD batteries and DO NOT PUT THE SD CARD BACK IN THE CAMERA.

3. Power up the camera. See what happens.
If you face the same problem then you have to reinstall the fireware from service center. Thanks.

How to solve the message oeo1

I had this same problem years ago, couln't fix it in any way. Tried the description on http://www.oborona.net/stuff/qv-r40/eng/index.html (reloading firmware) but even that did't work. Found my old qv-r40 today, and gave it one more try using the above mentioned solution of updating the firmware. Even though I only did again the same as a few years back (updating the camera with the same firmware), this time it worked. Got my old camera working again!
So I suggest you try the solution by oborona.net, and if it doesn't work get the batteries out and wait for a few days before trying to update the firmware again. You might be lucky like me.

Need upgraded photo loader for mac os x

Try using Image Capture. It's in the Applications folder and can read most digital cameras. If that doesn't work get a card reader and download the images that way.
If you have it, iPhoto should work with it as well and will help you to keep your photos organized and make adjustments.

Your SD memory expansion card may be damaged.
Try the same procedure without the expansion SD card.
Use the Casio QV-R40 10meg memory with same camera settings.
