1
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

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.

If liquid or foreign objects enter your camera, immediately
disconnect all power sources, such as the battery or charger,
and then contact a Samsung service center.
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a camera in
a certain area.
• Avoid interference with other electronic devices.

Basic troubleshooting
Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subject’s eyes
appear red.
Photos have dust
spots.
Photos are blurred.
Photos are blurred
when shooting at
night.
Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reflect light from the camera flash.
•
Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 68)
•
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 109)
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.
•
Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 71)
Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.
Use the Image Stabilization function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 38)
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to hold the
camera steady long enough to take a clear picture and may result in camera shake.
•
Select Scene Night in g mode. (p. 48)
•
Turn on the flash. (p. 69)
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 71)
•
Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.
•
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
•
Select Scene Backlight in g mode. (p. 48)
•
Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 69)
