Health and safety information

Comply with the following precautions to avoid dangerous
or illegal situations while operating the camera and keep
this manual handy for future reference.

Warnings

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

Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or
flammable chemicals. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the camera or its accessories.

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.

Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight

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

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers. •
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious
injuries or damage to your camera.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local •
regulations when disposing of used batteries.

Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating •
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from
damage

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold •
or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above
40° C/104° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the
charging capacity of your batteries and can cause
memory cards to malfunction.

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal •
objects, as this can create a connection between the +
and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary
or permanent battery damage.

Prevent memory cards from making contact with •
liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the
memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in
your camera.

Use only Samsung-approved accessories

Using incompatible accessories may damage your
camera, cause injury, or void your warranty.

Protect your camera’s lens

Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean
your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.

Cautions

Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly

Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can •
cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera
with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can
void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, •
humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage
to moving parts and internal components.

Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and •
excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.

Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters •
and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing
the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or
improperly installing batteries and memory cards can
damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s •
compartments, slots, or access points. This type of
damage may not be covered by your warranty.
