Safety warnings Safety warnings

Do not use your camera near flammable or
explosive gases and liquids

Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles,
or flammable chemicals. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the camera or its accessories.

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.

Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight

Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than
1 m/3 ft) to people or animals. Using the flash too
close to your subject’s eyes can cause temporary or
permanent damage.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care

•

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers. Incompatible batteries and chargers can
cause serious injuries or damage to your camera.

•

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing of used batteries.

•

Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

Safety precautions Safety precautions

Handle and store your camera carefully and
sensibly

•

Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can
cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera
with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can
void your manufacturer’s warranty.

3

•
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 using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty,

•
humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage
to moving parts and internal components.

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.

cold or very 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 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 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

•

•
card.

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 the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.

Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean

•
your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.

Important usage information Important usage information

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

4

charging is finished, disconnect the cable from your
camera.

•

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

•

Disconnect chargers from power sources when not
in use.

•

Use batteries only for their intended purpose.

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.

About histogram

A histogram is a graph that shows the brightness
distribution of picture. This represents a dark picture
if the graph is inclined to the left and if the graph is
leaning to the right, this represents a bright picture. The
height of graph is related to the color information and
the graph gets higher if a specific color is distributed
more.
