Instructions on how to use the memory card

Be sure to format the memory card (see p.77) if you are using a newly purchased memory card for the ﬁ rst time, 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.

) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change to ﬂ ash shot mode.

It is best to take pictures with the sun in the background. Taking pictures against the sun may make the picture come out dark. To take a picture against the light, please use the [Backlight] in scene shooting mode (see page 24), ﬁ ll-in ﬂ ash (see page 33), spot metering (see page 38), exposure compensation (see page 41) or ACB (see page 48) function.

Avoid obstructing the lens or the ﬂ ash when you capture an image.

Compose the image by using the LCD monitor.

Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

– When photographing a subject that has little contrast. – If the subject is highly reﬂ ective or shiny. – If the subject is moving at high speed. – When there is strong reﬂ ected light, or when the background is very

bright.

– When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very

narrow (such as a stick or ﬂ agpole).

– When the surroundings are dark.

Return to previous AF mode if face detection failed.

In some conditions this function cannot work properly.

- When a person wears dark glasses or some part of the face is hidden.

- When the subject does not look at the camera.

- Camera doesn’t detect a face as the conditions are too dark or too bright.

- The distance between the camera and object is too great.

- If there is reﬂ ection of the light or the back light that are too bright.

■ Self Portrait

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

1. For self-ﬁ lming, set the camera lens towards the face of the object. It automatically detects the face of the object, and emits a guiding sound.

- 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.

2. Start ﬁ lming by pressing the Shutter button.

The guiding sound can be set using the [Self Portrait] Menu. (p.73)

■ Smile Shot

The camera automatically takes a picture by detecting the face of the subject although you don’t press the shutter button. If you press the Shutter button, the picture is taken in the normal way. When taking a picture of smile shot, showing teethes or keeping the smiley face of your subject helps detecting the smile face of the subject.

■ Blink Detection

If the eyes of the subject are closed when the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes 2 continuous shots and then the images are saved. The camera takes only one picture if the eyes of the subject are open when the Shutter button is pressed.

Detecting the smiling face or the blinking eyes may not be available if any of the following situations occurs:

- If the subject is wearing sunglasses.

- When the subject is not facing directly to the camera.

- If the environmental light is too bright or too dark to detect the face of the subject.

- When the camera is far from the subject. (Orange colored focusing mark)

- If there is reﬂ ection of the light or the back light that are too bright.

Important notes

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 extremes of 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 ﬂ ammable 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 ﬂ ash when you capture an image.

098

Page 100

Important notes

– 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.

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 before replacing the card in the camera.

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 ﬁ ngerprints 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 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

ﬂ uid 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 ﬂ ash unit to ﬁ re. 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.
