Health and safety information

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very t hot temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º 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 t 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 t foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in your camera.

Turn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory t card.

Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact t or pressure.

Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other t cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with your camera.

Never use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.t

Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high t 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 using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or t poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.

Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an t extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera.

Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on t beaches or in other similar areas.

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

Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and t 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 t compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to improper use may not be covered by your warranty.

Page 4

Exercise caution when using the camera in humid environments

When transferring the camera from a cold environment to a warm and humid one, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry and memory card. In this situation, wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture has evaporated before using the camera.

Check that the camera is operating properly before use

The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any loss of ﬁles or damage that may result from camera malfunction or improper use.

Use only Samsung-approved accessories

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

Protect your camera’s lens

Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor t the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.

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

Allow only qualiﬁed personnel to service your camera

Do not allow unqualiﬁed personnel to service the camera or attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results from unqualiﬁed service is not covered by your warranty.

Ensure maximum battery and charger life

Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is t ﬁnished, disconnect the cable from your camera.

Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be t recharged before use.

Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.t Use batteries only for their intended purpose.t

Shutter speed

Shutter speed controls how long the camera's shutter remains open when you capture a photo. When you decrease the shutter speed, more light enters your camera and the photo will appear brighter. However, a slower shutter speed can also result in blurry photos if either the subject or the camera is moving.

When you increase the shutter speed, the photo will appear darker. However, a faster shutter speed will also reduce the blurring if your subject or the camera is in motion.

Slow shutter speed Fast shutter speed

Aperture value

The aperture is a hole through which light is admitted. You can adjust the aperture value to control how much light reaches the lens when you capture a photo. By decreasing the aperture value (opening the aperture wider), more light will enter and objects that are farther away will appear out of focus. This is good for closeup or portrait shots to draw attention to the main subject.

Alternatively, as you increase the aperture value, objects from near to far are in sharp focus. This is good for landscape shots to show the entire scope of the scene.

Big aperture value Small aperture value

Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode
