PREPARATION

Connecting to Power

There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries(AA Alkaline or CR-V3), or alternatively, you can use an AC Adapter (DC 6V / 1.5A).

Using the batteries

Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the

direction of the arrow.

Insert the batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).

To close the battery chamber cover, push it until it clicks.

Reference

This camera will automatically switch off when not in use for a period of time. We recommend high–capacity ALKALINE batteries (1500mAh) as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.

READY

Note

Important information about battery usage

Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera. Low temperatures (below O°C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life. Batteries will normally recover at normal temperatures. Do not use old and new batteries at the same time. During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal. If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an AC adapter.

PREPARATION

Using the AC power adapter If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. If you connect the camera to a computer, it is advisable to use an AC adapter, as this will enable extended use. Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 6V) on the camera. Please ensure that you use an AC adapter with the correct specification for the camera (6v /1.5A). Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

WARNING

Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply. As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials.

Attaching the strap

To prevent accidental damage to the camera, always use the strap.

Refer to the illustrations below

PREPARATION

Inserting the CF CARD

Pull the card cover in the direction of the arrow to open.

Insert the card towards the arrow. The front side of the CF

CARD (printed arrow) and the front side of the camera should face in the same direction when the card is inserted.

To close, push the card cover against the arrow until you

hear a click.

Removing the CF CARD

Turn the power off using the power button ( ).

Push the Card eject lever ( ) down.

Remove CF CARD as shown in the picture.

READY

Note

Repeated use of a CF CARD will eventually reduce the card’s performance. Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new CF CARD. Wear and tear on the card is not covered by the Samsung warranty. If you open the card cover when the camera power is turned on, the power will turn off automatically.

TAKING PHOTOS

Now let's take a picture

To switch on the camera, press the POWER button ( ).

Select the desired mode (Still picture / Night picture/ Movie clip) according to the picture

range or subject by using the mode dial ( ) on the top of the camera. Macro and Continuous shooting are available in STILL PICTURE mode.

Change the menu by using the camera buttons and LCD monitor and select the

appropriate settings (picture quality, picture size etc.). Refer to pages 38 ~ 47 for information on camera setting.

Decide the picture composition that you want to achieve by using the optical viewfinder

or the LCD monitor.

When taking pictures, squeeze the shutter button gently to avoid camera shake.

Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates the autofocus and checks the condition of the flash. Note that releasing the button will de-select the autofocus and the camera will re-focus when the button is depressed for the second time. Pressing the shutter down fully takes the picture and stores the relevant data regarding the shot.

TAKING PHOTOS

Note

Select Macro shot mode when the subject is between 0.2m ~ 0.8m from the camera. Refer to page 40 for information on Macro shooting. If you do not select the correct shot mode appropriate to the distance from the subject to the camera, you will not be able to obtain a clear shot of the subject. Avoid obstructing the Flash control sensor when you take a picture. A picture can be spoiled when a finger, hair or camera strap is in front of the Flash control sensor. Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries. We recommend using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life. If the LCD monitor is more appropriate, switching it off between shots will also help to extend the battery life.

Reference

If there is no card, [NO CARD!] message will show in the LCD monitor. If there is no card, no buttons will function except for Power button and Mode dial. If there is insufficient memory available:

If you press the shutter button halfway for the shot, the following message is displayed and the camera will not operate.

BASIC

CARD FULL !

To optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the CF CARD or delete unnecessary pictures stored on the CF CARD.

TAKING PHOTOS

Reference

There are two LED lamps (one green, one red) positioned next to the viewfinder.

If the camera is in focus when you press the shutter button halfway, the green LED will light up and you can take a picture. If the red lamp lights up, the flash can fire. If the red lamp blinks, the flash is being charged. When a picture is being stored onto the CF CARD, the green lamp blinks slowly. When the picture data has been stored, the green LED light will go out. After the green LED light has gone out, you can resume taking pictures.

Note

Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

When photographing a subject that has little contrast. If the subject is highly reflective or shiny. If the subject is moving at high speed. When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a stick or flagpole). If two subjects are selected within the autofocus mark range the camera is programmed to select and focus on the nearer of the two. When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.

Camera shake warning.

When the Flash Off mode is selected, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode.

Backlight compensated shot

When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the picture may be dark because of backlight. In backlight conditions, please use the exposure compensation (refer to page

47). Alternatively, press the METERING button after the LCD monitor comes on, and the exposure will be adjusted accordingly.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Caution!

Your new Samsung camera is a precision instrument. Whilst it is designed to withstand general wear and tear, there are some important points that will help you get maximum service and reliability from your camera. The following should be avoided :

Severe changes in temperature and humidity. Dust and dirt. Direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.

Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.

Areas with high explosives or highly flammable materials. Pesticides, etc.

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

Sand or other small particulates can cause severe malfunctions. Ensure that there is no contact with sand or similar particles.

Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this occours, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occour in CF CARDS. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the CF CARD. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

IMPORTANT NOTE

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the batteries and CF CARD if the camera is not used for some time. If the camera is exposed to electronic interferance, it will turn itself off to protect the CF CARD. Maintenance

Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to GENTLY clean the lens and LCD assemblies. If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used. Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera contact with solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its performance. Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep

the camera in its protective carry case at all times. DO NOT attempt to disassemble or modify the camera. It contains delicate parts and there are high voltage circuits that can cause electric shocks. Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire. This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction. When pictures are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be affected by static electricity. In this case, dis-connect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.

REMOVABLE DISK

Note

Important information whilst using the Removable Disk

The [Removable Disk] indicator will not show when the camera power is off. We recommend that you should copy the pictures to the PC to view them. Opening pictures directly from the removable disk may be subject to unexpected disconnection. When uploading images from the PC to the camera, ensure that the uploaded file names are not the same as those already stored on the CF card. Files with the same file name but different extensions (e.g : PICT0001.jpg/PICT0001.avi),JPG file format will appear first. And if the displayed file is deleted, all the same file name pictures are deleted. When you upload a file that is not taken by this camera to Removable Disk, the ERROR FILE message will be displayed on the LCD monitor in PLAY mode, and nothing is displayed in THUMBNAIL mode. The green lamp next to the viewfinder will blink, when a file is transferred (copy or deletion) between the PC and camera. Do not remove the USB cable or rotate the mode dial until the lamp stops blinking. To remove the USB cable, use the [Unplug or Eject Hardware] icon on the task bar. In Windows 2000, take extra care, as the following may occur.

1. When an image file from the Removable Disk is deleted : The green lamp will blink for about 10 seconds after file deletion is completed on the PC.

2. When a picture file is transferred between PC and Removable Disk : The green lamp will blink again 15-20 seconds after the first time it blinks.

The work is not completed until the lamp has finished blinking. Uploading the sound recorded picture to the camera, you should upload both WAV and JPG file. For example, if you upload PICT0001.wav file to the camera, PICT0001.jpg file has to be uploaded.
