Do not operate this camera with wet hands. This could pose a risk of electric shock.
Warning
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 your eyesight.
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. If an accident should occur, please consult a doctor immediately.
There is the 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. Do not recharge non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion. 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.
6
Caution
Leaking, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury.
Use batteries with the correct specification for the camera. Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.
Do not insert the batteries with the reverse polarities. Remove the batteries when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time. Batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte and permanently damage the camera's components. Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns. Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Power Adapter. After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the adapter from the wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or electric shock. A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used but has a short lifespan because of its relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery which has a bigger capacity and longer lifespan than the non rechargeable type. (Rechargeable batteries may not be available everywhere).

Connecting to a Power Source
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries or alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 2.0A). We recommend using batteries for a digital camera (use batteries that are within a year of their date of manufacture). The batteries are listed below. Non rechargeable batteries : Duracell CP-1 batteryRechargeable batteries : SLB-1137
INFORMATION
Important information about battery usage
When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power. Do not charge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion. 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 0°C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life. Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures. During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal. If the camera is in PC mode, slide show, playing back a voice recording or playing back a movie clip, it is recommended that you use an AC adapter.
14
Connecting to a Power Source
Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 3.3V) on the camera. Remove the batteries from the camera when using an AC 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 (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.
15
Connecting to a Power Source
Using the batteries
1. Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the direction of the arrow.
Removing the battery

Instructions on how to use the memory card
Maintenance of the memory card
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.73) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images captured with a different camera. 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 a memory card that is used in another digital camera. To use the memory card in this camera, format first the memory card by using this camera. Do not use a 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, a [Card Full !] message will appear and the camera will not operate. To optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory.

Things to Watch Out for When Taking Pictures
Pressing the shutter button down half way. Lightly press the shutter button to confirm focus and flash battery charge. Press the shutter button all way down to take the picture.
[ Lightly press the shutter button ] [ Press the shutter button ]
The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera settings. 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. Compensated shooting against the light : Please do not take pictures to the sunlight direction. Taking a picture against the sun may make the picture dark. To take a picture against the sun, please use the [Backlight] in the scene shooting mode (see page 53), forced flash (see page 34), spot side light (see page 50), or exposure compensation (see page 39). 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).
- When the surroundings are dark.

INFORMATION
TIFF is the highest quality and NORMAL is the lowest setting. Choose the setting appropriate for your needs. The TIFF file format is for professionals and provides the best quality. However, large file size reduces number of available pictures to take and increases saving time to the memory card. [Please Wait !] message is displayed while saving a TIFF file to the memory card. If you select the TIFF file format, the double self-timer cant be selected. This file format complies with the DCF(Design rule for Camera File system). JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): JPEG is the image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files efficiently without damaging the data.

Metering
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.
Multi ( ) : Exposure will be calculated based on
an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for general use.
Spot ( ) : Only the rectangular area in the centre
of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.
