What is colour temperature?

The colour of the light changes to blue when the colour temperature goes up, but it changes to red when the colour temperature goes down. The change in the colour of the light is indicated in kelvins (K) and is called the colour temperature. This camera allows the user to set the white balance settings to shoot with natural colours in the variety of lighting conditions.

ISO

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

[Auto] : The camera's sensitivity is automatically changed by

variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.

[ISO 64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400] : You can increase the 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 dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.

When [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto.

ISO setting is available in the [Program], [Aperture. Shutter

Priority] and [Manual] modes.

ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 can be set below 5M and 3M respec-

The Digital zoom is not activated in this mode.



When the camera detects a target face, the white colour

focus frame will be displayed over the target face and the grey colour focus frame appears over the remaining faces. Press the shutter button halfway down to focus on the face and the white focus frame turns green.



Return to previous AF mode if face detection was failure.

Ŷ Smart face detection

The camera registers the frequently detected faces of up to 17 people. Focus and exposure for the registered faces are adjusted automatically in order of priority. The order of priority for the registered faces can be checked in graphs. However, the smart face detection function is available only when inserting an external memory card.

- When a registered face is not detected: operates the same as with the face detection function.

- When a registered face is detected: a priority level is indicated on the detected face.

- When more than two registered faces are detected: order of priority is indicated on the detected faces.

Ɣ The same person can be recognised as a different person and vice

versa depending on glasses, brightness, extreme change of pose or facial expressions.

Ɣ If you register a new face when 17 faces are already registered, the

17th face with the lowest priority is switched with the newly added face.

048

Ɣ A maximum of 3 people can be registered in a scene. Ɣ If the camera doesn’t recognise a registered face, it detects the face regard-

less of the priority.

Ɣ Even though a face is not registered, a face detection graph may appear if

the face detection ratio is good.

Ɣ Categorizing pictures is available in the playback mode according to the

priority of faces (p. 73).

Ɣ Even though a face is recognised, it may not be categorized in the Smart

Album according to the priority.

Ɣ Faces can be registered manually in the playback mode (p. 87).



Self Portrait

When taking pictures of yourself, the area of your face is automatically detected so that you can take self pictures more easily and quickly.

1. For self-¿ lming, set the camera lens

towards the face of the object. It automatically detects the face of the object, and emits a guiding sound.

2. Start ¿ lming by pressing the shutter

button.



When locating the face in the center of the screen, it repeatedly emits a faster sound unlike the sounds that are emitted when the face is not in the center.

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 leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene and mothballs), high temperature and high humidity. Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time.



Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Do not let sand get inside the camera 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 camera unusable.



Handling the camera

- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.

- Protect the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this camera is not used, keep it in the camera case.

- Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

- This camera is not waterproof. To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or may permanently damage the unit.

Page 96

Important notes



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 built up can also occur on 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 the discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

- Take care 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 battery and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.



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.



Before an important event or going on a trip, you should

check the camera condition.

- Take a picture for testing the camera condition and prepare extra battery.

- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.



If the digital camera is not used for a long period, the date and time may adopt the default settings by automatical battery discharged. In this case, reset the date and time correctly before the recording.
