Health and safety information

Always comply with the following precautions and usage tips to avoid dangerous situations and ensure peak performance of your camera.

Warning—situations that could cause injury to yourself or
others

Do not disassemble or attempt to repair your camera.

This may result in electric shock or damage to the camera.

Do not use your camera near flammable or explosive gases and
liquids.

This may cause a fire or explosion.

Do not insert flammable materials into the camera or store these
materials near the camera.

This may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not handle your camera with wet hands.

This may result in electric shock.

1

Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight.

Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than 1 m/3 ft) to
people or animals. If you use the flash too close to your subject’s
eyes, this can cause temporary or permanent eyesight damage.

Keep your camera away from small children and pets.

Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small
children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious
injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present
physical dangers as well.

Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high
temperatures for an extended period of time.

Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can
cause permanent damage to your camera’s internal components.

Health and safety information

Avoid covering the camera or charger with blankets or clothes.

The camera may overheat, which may distort the camera or
cause a fire.

Do not handle the power supply cord or go near the charger
during a thunderstorm.

This may result in electric shock.

If liquid or foreign objects enter your camera, immediately
disconnect all power sources, such as the battery or charger,
and then contact a Samsung service center.

Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a camera in
a certain area.

• Avoid interference with other electronic devices.

• Turn off the camera when in an aircraft. Your camera can cause

interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline regulations
and turn off your camera when directed by airline personnel.

• Turn off the camera near medical equipment. Your camera can

interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care
facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions
from medical personnel.

Avoid interference with pacemakers.

Maintain a minimum of 15 cm between this camera and all
pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by
the manufacturer and the independent research group, Wireless
Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your
camera is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device,
turn off the camera immediately and contact the manufacturer of
the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

Health and safety information

Caution—situations that could cause damage to your camera
or other equipment

Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an
extended period of time.

Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause
serious damage to your camera.

Use only authentic, manufacturer-recommended, Lithium-ion
replacement batteries. Do not damage or heat the battery.

Inauthentic, damaged, or heated batteries may cause a fire or
personal injury.

Use only Samsung-approved batteries, chargers, cables and
accessories.

• Using unauthorized batteries, chargers, cables or accessories

can cause batteries to explode, damage your camera, or cause
injury.

• Samsung is not responsible for damage or injuries caused by

unapproved batteries, chargers, cables or accessories.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

Misusing the battery may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not touch the flash while it fires.

The flash is very hot when fired and may burn your skin.

When you use the AC charger, turn off the camera before you
disconnect the power to the AC charger.

Failing to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

Disconnect the charger from the wall socket when not in use.

Failing to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not use a damaged power supply cord, plug, or loose outlet
when you charge batteries.

This may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not allow the AC charger to come in contact with the +/­terminals on the battery.

This may cause a fire or electric shock.

3

Health and safety information

improperly install batteries and memory cards, you can damage
ports, connectors, and accessories.

Keep cards with magnetic strips away from the camera case.

Information stored on the card may be damaged or erased.

Never use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.

This may result in electric shock or camera malfunction or
cause a fire.

Check that the camera is operating properly before use.

The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any loss of files or
damage that may result from camera malfunction or improper
use.

You must plug the small end of the USB cable into your camera.

If the cable is reversed, it may damage your files.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any loss of data.

Avoid interference with other electronic devices.

Your camera emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere
with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment,
such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and
other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the
manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference
problems you experience. To prevent unwanted interference, use
only Samsung-approved devices or accessories.

Use your camera in the normal position.

Avoid contact with your camera’s internal antenna.

Basic troubleshooting

Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.

The subject’s eyes
appear red.

Photos have dust
spots.

Photos are blurred.

Photos are blurred
when shooting at
night.

Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.

Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reflect light from the camera flash.

•

Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 64)

•

If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 97)

If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.

•

Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 66)

Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.
Use the OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 35)

As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to hold the
camera steady long enough to capture a clear photo and may result in camera shake.

•

Select Night Shot mode. (p. 51)

•

Turn on the flash. (p. 64)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 66)

•

Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.

When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.

•

Avoid shooting toward the sun.

•

Select Backlight in Scene mode. (p. 42)

•

Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 64)

•

Adjust the exposure. (p. 74)

•

Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 75)

Tips for getting a clearer photo

Holding your camera correctly

Half-pressing the shutter button

Half-press [Shutter] and adjust the

exposure automatically.

The camera sets the aperture value
and shutter speed automatically.

Focus frame

•

Press [Shutter] to capture the photo
if the focus frame appears in green.

Basic functions

Reducing camera shake

Set the Optical Image Stabilization option to reduce
camera shake optically. (p. 33)

When is displayed

Camera shake

When you shoot in the dark, avoid setting the flash option to
Slow Sync or Off. The aperture remains open longer and it may be
harder to hold the camera steady long enough to capture a clear
photo.

•

Use a tripod or set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 64)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 66)

35

Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be difficult to get your subject in focus when:

-

there is little contrast between the subject and background (for
example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color
to the background)

-

the light source behind the subject is too bright

-

the subject is shiny or reflective

-

the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds

-

the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame

Using the focus lock

Half-press [Shutter] to focus. When the subject is in focus,
you can reposition the frame to change the composition.
When you are ready, press [Shutter] to capture your photo.

•

When you capture photos in low light

•

When subjects are moving rapidly

Turn on the flash.
