Health and safety information
Always comply with the following precautions and usage tips to avoid dangerous situations and ensure peak
performance of your camera.
Warning—situations that could cause injury to
yourself or others
Caution—situations that could cause damage to
your camera or other equipment
Note—notes, usage tips, or additional
information
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.
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.

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 using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty,
humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage

damage to your camera.
Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it
on beaches or in other similar areas.
Protect your camera from impact, shock, bending, or
press of heavy goods when you connect either cable
or power code. It may damage your camera or cable
or cause by electric shock or fire.
Exercise caution when connecting cables or adaptors
and 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 compartments, slots, or access points.
Damage due to improper use may not be covered by
your warranty.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards
from damage
Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very
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.

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.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your

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.
