Do not use the flash in close proximity to people or animals. Positioning the flash too close to your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage.
When taking photographs, never point the lens of the camera directly into very strong light. This may result in permanent damage to the camera or your eyesight.
Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures, such as a sealed vehicle, direct sunlight or other places of extreme variances in temperature. Exposure to extreme temperatures may adversely affect the camera’s internal components and could cause a fire.
When in use, do not cover the camera or AC Power Adapter. This may cause heat to build up and distort the camera body or cause a fire. Always use the camera and its accessories in a well-ventilated area.
For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of children or animals to prevent accidents e.g.:
Swallowing batteries or small camera accessories. In case of accidents, please consult a doctor immediately. There is a risk of permanent eye damage if the flash is operated at a distance of less than one meter from a person’s eyes. There is a possibility of injury from the camera’s moving parts.
Batteries and camera may become hot during prolonged use and it may result in camera malfunction. Should this be the case, allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool.

Connecting to Power
NOTICE
Important information about battery usage
- It is easy to buy the alkaline batteries, but the duration for using batteries varies in accordance with the battery manufacturers or photography conditions.
- 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.
- We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.
- Low temperatures (below O˚C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life.
- Batteries will usually 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.
INFORMATION
This camera will automatically switch off when not in use for a period of time. Refer to [POWER OFF] function (p.81). We recommend batteries for digital camera (Within a year from the date of manufacture). The batteries are listed below.
Non rechargeable batteries : AA type - Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium
CR-V3 type - Lithium
Rechargeable batteries : AA type - Ni-MH, Ni-Cd (over 1000mA)
Exclusive type - SLB-1437 (Digimax V3 only)
SBP-1103 (CR-V3 type)
READY
19
Connecting to Power
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 5V) on the camera. Remove the batteries when using the AC adapter.
Using the Digimax Premium Power Pack ( Optional : SLB-1437 KIT )
The Digimax Premium Power Pack contains a rechargeable internal Li-ion battery, a battery charger, a cigar jack for car and an AC adapter for use with Digimax V3.
Using the Digimax battery pack ( Optional : SBP-3605, 5V)
The Digimax Battery Pack is a rechargeable external Li-ion battery for use with most digital cameras.
These optional battery packs provide long lasting power and their operating performances are much improved over Ni-MH and Alkaline batteries. This is due to the mass storage lithium ion cell. Contact your local dealer or the nearest authorized Samsung camera service center to buy the optional battery packs.
Using the AC power adapter
DANGER
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. Please ensure that you use an AC adapter with the correct specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Instructions on how to use the memory card
NOTICE
If you open the memory card cover when the camera power is turned on, the power will turn off automatically. Don’t remove the memory card when the Autofocus indicator lamp(Green) is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
You can use both an SD memory card and Multi Media Card (MMC). We recommend using the SD memory card as the Multi-Media Card need more time to stored the image than the SD memory card.
When using a 32MB SD memory card, the specified shooting capacity will be as follows. (These figures are intended as an indication of expected performance). These figures are approximate as image capacities can be affected by variables such as memory performance and subject matter.
The SD memory card has a write protect switch that prevents image files from being deleted or formatted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the SD memory card, the data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the top of the SD memory card, the data protection will be canceled. Check the switch position before taking an image.

Instructions on how to use the memory card
Maintenance of the memory card
Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed. Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory card s performance. Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new memory card. Wear and tear on the memory card is not covered by the Samsung warranty. The memory card is an electronic precision device. Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact. Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields, e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers. Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature. Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth. Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use. During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm. This is perfectly normal. Do not use the memory card that is used in another digital camera or memory card reader. Do not use the memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.
Preserving the memory card data
If the memory card is subjected to any of the following, the recorded data may become corrupted :
- When the memory card is used incorrectly.
- If the power is switched off or the memory card is removed while recording, deleting (formatting) or reading.
Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data. It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard disks, CD etc. If there is insufficient memory available : If you press the shutter button for the shot, [CARD FULL !] message is displayed and the camera will not operate. To optimize the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory.

NOTICE
Camera shake warning. When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, 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 shots When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please use the exposure compensation in the PROGRAM or A/S/M mode. (refer to page 51). Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you use the LCD monitor to compose these shots. Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries. We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life. 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 there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.
- When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a stick or flagpole).
- The subject is too dark.
INFORMATION
A distance of 40cm between you and the camera (microphone) is the best distance to record sound.
