Connecting to a Power Source

There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use
batteries or alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 2.0A).

We recommend using batteries for a digital camera.(Within a year from the date of
manufacture) The batteries are listed below.

Non rechargeable batteries : AA type – Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium

CR-V3 type – Lithium

Rechargeable batteries : AA type – Ni-MH, Ni-Cd (over 1000mA)

CR-V3 type – Digimax Battery I-Pack(SBP-1103)
Battery pack – Digimax Battery Pack(SBP-3603)

[ AA type battery ] [ CR-V3 type battery ] [ Battery pack ]

NOTICE Important information about battery usage

- It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in
accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions.
When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.

- Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion.

- Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods.
Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.

- We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver
sufficient power.

- Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may
experience reduced battery life.

- Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.

- Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.

-

During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal.

- If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an AC
adapter(3.3V 2.0A).

Using the batteries

Inserting the AA type battery Inserting the CR-V3 type battery

The Digimax Battery Pack is a rechargeable external Li-ion
battery for use with most digital cameras. These optional
battery packs provide long lasting power and their operating
performances are much improved over Ni-MH and Alkaline
batteries. This is due to the mass storage lithium ion cell.

READY

Connecting to a Power Source

If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the
camera to be used for long periods of time.
Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 3.3V) on the camera.
Remove the batteries when using the AC adapter.

DANGER

Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply.
As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera nor
adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials.
Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for the
camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Attaching the strap

To prevent accidental damage to the camera, always use the strap.

- Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid.
Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth.

- Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.

- During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm.
This is perfectly normal.

- Do not use a memory card that is used in another digital camera or memory card reader.

NOTICE

Camera shake warning.

When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, the camera
shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod,

support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode.
Backlight compensated shots
When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of the
strong backlight. In conditions where there is a strong backlight, please use exposure
compensation (p.44).
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the
resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you use the
LCD monitor to compose the shot.
Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries.
We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as
possible in order to extend battery life.
Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

- When photographing a subject that has little contrast.

- If the subject is highly reflective or shiny.

- If the subject is moving at high speed.

- When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.

- When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a
stick or flagpole).

- In dark conditions

Important notes

Your new Samsung camera is a precision instrument. Whilst it is designed to withstand general wear
and tear, there are some important points that will help you get maximum service and reliability from
your camera. The following should be avoided :

- Severe changes in temperature and humidity.

- Dust and dirt.

- Direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.

- Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.

- Areas with high explosives or which are highly flammable materials.

- Pesticides, etc.
Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Sand or other small particulates can cause severe malfunctions.
Ensure that there is no contact with sand or similar particles.

Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form
on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until
all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occur in the MEMORY CARD. If this happens,
turn off the camera and remove the MEMORY CARD. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur. It is a good idea to
remove the batteries and the MEMORY CARD, the camera is not used for some time.
If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the MEMORY
CARD.
Maintenance

- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to GENTLY clean the lens and LCD assemblies.
If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.

- Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with
solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc.
This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its performance.

- Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the camera in
its protective carry case at all times when not in use.

DO NOT attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.
It contains delicate parts and there are high voltage circuits that can cause electric shocks.
Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire.
This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.
When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be affected by static electricity.
In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
