Section 1: Getting Started

Cover Lock

Opening the Battery Compartment
1. From the bottom of the camera, open the battery
compartment by sliding the cover lock to the left (1).
2. Swing the compartment cover open (2).
Installing the Battery
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of the
camera, making sure the connectors align (1).
Getting Started 5
2. Gently press in to secure the battery (2).
Installing and Removing the Memory Card
You can use a microSD (SD) or microSDHC card to expand available memory space if you desire. This secure digital card enables you to exchange images, music, and data between SD-compatible devices. This type of memory card is designed for use with this camera and other devices.
6
Note:
Your camera has been tested to support up to a 64GB
memory card.
Installing the Memory Card
Push the microSD card into the slot (1) until it clicks (2).
Make sure the microSD’s gold contact pins face toward the camera screen and the card is securely inserted.
For more information on Memory Cards, see “Memory Card” on page 43.
Removing the Memory Card
1. Push on the memory card until it clicks and is released.
2. Grasp the memory card and remove it from the
camera.Closing the Battery Compartment
1. Close the battery compartment door.
2. Slide the cover lock to the Right as shown below..
Note:
Make sure the battery is properly installed and the cover is securely closed before switching on the camera.

Charging a Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Travel Charger that is used to charge the battery, is included with your device. Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Note:
You must fully charge the battery before using your camera for the first time. A discharged battery recharges fully in approximately 4 hours.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, web browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s charge.
Although you can use the camera while the battery is charging, doing so will require additional charging time.
Using the Travel Charger
Important!
Verify that the camera battery is installed prior to connection. If the battery is not properly installed and the wall charger is connected, the camera may power off and on continuously, preventing proper operation.
Getting Started 7
1. Remove the plastic cover, then plug the flat end of the
Travel Charger into the Power/Accessory Interface connector and the other end into a standard AC wall outlet.
2. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from
the interface connector jack on the camera.
8
Important!
Note:
If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your finger. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more information, refer to “Standard Limited Warranty” on page 156.
Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the
battery, can cause damage to the camera.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak, the battery icon ( ) blinks and the device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals. In this condition, your camera conserves its remaining battery power, not by turning off the backlight, but by entering the dimming mode. For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your device’s display. Solid color ( ) indicates a full charge.
When the battery level becomes too low, the camera automatically turns off.

Switching the Camera On or Off

1. Press and hold until the camera switches on.
2. Swipe your finger across the screen to unlock the
camera.
Note:
The display language is preset to English at the factory. To change the language, use the Language menu. For more information, refer to “Changing Your Settings” on page 71.
