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.

Cleaning the Device
Camera Lens and Display
Use a blower brush to remove dust, and then wipe the lens
gently with a soft cloth. If any dust remains, apply lens
cleaning liquid to a lens cleaning paper, and wipe gently.
Understanding Your Camera 15
Image Sensor
Depending on different shooting conditions, dust may appear
in photos because the image sensor is exposed to the
external environment. This problem is normal, and the
exposure to dust occurs in everyday use of the camera. You
can remove dust from the sensor by operating the sensor
cleaning function.
