Instructions on how to use the memory card



Be sure to format the memory card (see p.88) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the ﬁ rst time, or 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 ﬁ elds, 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 the memory card 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 (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. ﬂ oppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.



If there is insufﬁ cient 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.



Don’t remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.

017

Instructions on how to use the memory card

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

The SD/ SDHC memory card has a write protect switch that prevents image ﬁ les 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 cancelled. Slide the switch to the top of the SD memory card before taking a picture.

Capture]

This takes 6 shots per second for up to 5 seconds, when the shutter is pressed and held down. After completing the continuous shooting, images are saved automatically. The maximum number of shots is 30 and the image size is ﬁ xed as VGA.

[AEB]

Take three pictures in a series in different exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV), short exposure (-1/3EV) and over exposure (+1/3EV).

Fn button: Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

Icon

Metering

Mode

Description

[Multi]

Exposure will be calculated based on an average of light in each image area divided into multiple regions. 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.

[Center]

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 taking a picture of small objects like ﬂ owers or insects.



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, it is better to use exposure compensation.

White balance

Mode

Description

[Auto WB]

The camera automatically selects the appropriate white balance settings, depending on the prevailing lighting conditions.

[Daylight] For taking images outside.

[Cloudy]

For taking images under a cloudy or overcast sky.

[Fluorescent_H]

For shooting under daylight ﬂ uorescent types of threeway ﬂ uorescent lighting.

[Fluorescent_L] For shooting under white ﬂ uorescent lighting.

[Tungsten]

For shooting under tungsten (standard light bulb) lighting.

[Custom Set]

Allows the user to set the white balance according to the shooting conditions.



Different lighting conditions may cause a colour cast on your images.

You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures. The speed or speciﬁ c light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers.

Icon ISO Mode Description

[Auto]

The camera’s sensitivity is automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.

[ISO 80] [ISO 100] [ISO 200] [ISO 400] [ISO 800] [ISO 1600] [ISO 3200]

You use a faster (shorter) shutter speed while the same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high luminance. The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in darker conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.



When the ISO 3200 menu is selected, the image size is ﬁ xed as 3M.
