ҟUse battery with the correct specification for the camera. ҟDo not short circuit, heat or dispose of battery in fire. ҟDo not insert the battery with the polarities reversed.

ƅ Remove the battery when not planning to use the camera for a long period of

time. Otherwise the battery may leak corrosive electrolyte and permanently damage the camera’s components.

ƅ 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.

ƅ Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Charger.

After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the cable 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.

Instructions on how to use the memory card

Ś11ś

ƀ Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card

reader.

ƀ 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.

ƀ Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.

ƀ It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy

disks, hard disks, CD etc.

ƀ If there is insufficient memory available

: A [Memory 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 card.

ƀ Be sure to format the memory card (see p.36) 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.

ƀ Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or

removed.

ƀ 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.

ƀ The memory card is an electronic precision device.

Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact.

ƀ Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or

magnetic fields, e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.

ƀ Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in

temperature.

ƀ 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.

ƀ Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.

ƀ During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card

is warm. This is perfectly normal.

ƀ Do not use a memory card that is used in another digital camera.

To use the memory card in this camera, format the memory card using this camera.

Ś12ś

ƅ When using a 256MB MMC (Multi Media Card), the specified shooting capacity

will be as follows. These figures are approximate as image capacities can be affected by variables such as subject matter and memory card type.

* The recording times can be changed by the zoom operation.

The zoom button doesn’t use during the movie recording.

Instructions on how to use the memory card

Label

Card pins

ƅ The camera can use SD/SDHC Memory Cards and MMC (Multi Media Cards).

Please consult the enclosed manual for using the MMC Cards.

The SD/SDHC 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/SDHC memory card, the data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the top of the SD/SDHC memory card, the data protection will be cancelled. Slide the switch to the top of the SD/SDHC memory card before taking a picture.

ƀ Don't remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is blinking as

this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
