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

Do not handle your camera with wet hands.
This may result in electric shock.
Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight.

eyes, this can cause temporary or permanent eyesight damage.
1
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.
Avoid covering the camera or charger with blankets or clothes.
The camera may overheat, which may distort the camera or
cause a fire.
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.
Health and safety information

• 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 (6 inches) 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.
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.
