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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not force the camera’s parts or apply pressure to the camera.

This may cause your camera to malfunction.

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. 52)

•

If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 86)

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. 54)

Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly. Use the OIS/DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 30)

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 in s mode. (p. 39)

•

Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 52)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 54)

•

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 s mode. (p. 39)

•

Set the ﬂash option to Fill in. (p. 52)

•

Adjust the exposure. (p. 63)

•

Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 64)

•

Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 65)

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. (p. 52)

Use the Continuous or Motion Capture function. (p. 68)
