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 (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(Samsung SNB-2312 recommended)

Ni-Cd(over 1000mAh)

CR-V3 type - Samsung SBP-1303(Lithium Ion battery)

Important information about battery usage

It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in
accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions.
When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.
Do not recharge 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.
We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot
deliver sufficient power.
Low temperatures (below 0 ) 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.

INFORMATION

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.

Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)

14

Connecting to a Power Source

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.

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.

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

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.

The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may
result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.

Important notes

Be sure to observe the following precautions!

This unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store this unit in the
following locations.

- Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.

- Areas exposed to dust and dirt.

- Areas exposed to 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.

Do not let the unit come into contact with dust, vinyl goods, or chemicals, such as
insecticides, for an extended period of time.

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Do not let sand get inside the unit when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas
where there is lots of sand.

- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the unit unusable.

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 occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at
least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occur in the memory
card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the
moisture has dispersed.

Caution on Using the Lens

- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and deterioration of
the image sensor.

- Pay attention not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.

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 the memory card if you do not intend using the
camera for an extended period of time.

79

Important notes

If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the
memory card.

Camera 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 to come into 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 when not in use.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.

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 images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be affected by static
electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer
again.
