Positioning the flash too close to your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage. Do not attempt to photograph children using a flash, closer than 1 meter proximity. 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. Please do not use this product in close proximity to flammable or explosive gases, as this could increase the risk of explosion. 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. Should any form of liquid enter the camera, do not use it. Switch off the camera, and then disconnect the power source (batteries or AC Power Adapter). You must contact your dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center. Do not continue to use the camera as this may cause a fire or electric shock. Turn the camera off immediately, then disconnect the power source (batteries or AC Power Adapter).

SAFETY NOTE
NOTE
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 case or cause a fire. Always use the camera and its accessories in a well-ventilated area. Leakage, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury. Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire. Do not use old batteries with new ones, or mix brands of batteries. Ensure the batteries are positioned correctly with regard to polarity (+ / -). When the camera is not in use for long periods, always unplug the camera from its power source (batteries or AC Power Adapter) for safety purposes. Leaking batteries can cause fire and pollution to the environment. Allowing dust to accumulate in the camera over a long period is hazardous as extreme circumstances may cause a fire. It is best to clean your camera prior to seasonal periods of high humidity. Consult your dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center for information on the cost of cleaning your camera. 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 AC Power 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.

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 leak if kept inside the camera. Do not use manganese batteries as they cannot deliver sufficient power. Low temperatures (below O C) can cause the camera to work for a shorter period of time due to reduced battery performance. The batteries will recover at normal temperatures. Do not use old and new batteries or different types together. Extended use of the camera may cause the camera body to 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.
ENGLISH

Please ensure that you use an AC adapter with the correct specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.
To prevent accidental damage to the camera, always use the camera strap.
