This may result in electric shock or damage to the camera.

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, you 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.

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 drop or subject the camera to strong impacts.

Doing so may damage the screen or external or internal components.

If you force the connectors, improperly connect cables, or improperly install batteries and memory cards, you can damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

Keep cards with magnetic strips away from the camera case.

Information stored on the card may be damaged or erased.

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

This may result in electric shock or camera malfunction or cause a fire.

Do not place the camera in or near magnetic fields.

Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction.

Do not use the camera if the screen is damaged.

If the glass or acrylic parts are broken, visit a Samsung Electronics Service Center to have the camera repaired.
