Instructions on how to use the memory card
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.58) if you are using a newly
purchased memory card for the first time, if it contains data that the
camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images captured with a
different camera.
Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted
or removed.
Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory
card’s performance. Should this be the case, you will need to purchase
a new memory card. Wear and tear on the memory card is not covered
by the Samsung warranty.
The memory card is an electronic precision device.
Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact.
Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic
or magnetic fields, e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.
Please do not use or store in an environment where there are
extremes in temperature.
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. To
use the memory card in this camera, format the memory card using
this camera.
Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or
memory card reader.
If the memory card is subjected to any of the following, the recorded
data may become corrupted :
- When the memory card is used incorrectly.
- If the power is switched off or the memory card is removed while
recording, deleting (formatting) or reading.
Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.
It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g.
floppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.
If there is insufficient memory available :
A [Memory Full!] message will appear and the camera will not operate.
To optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory
card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory card.
Don't remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is
blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
<< 16 >>

metering method to take brighter pictures.

[Spot] : Only the rectangular area in the
centre of the LCD monitor will be metered for light.
This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed
correctly, regardless of the back lighting.
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the
spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this
circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation.
You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

You can increase the shutter speed while

increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in
high luminance.
The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to

Important notes
Be sure to observe the following precautions!
This unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store this
unit in the following locations.
- Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.
- Areas exposed to dust and dirt.
- Areas exposed to 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 highly flammable materials.
Do not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like
naphthalene and mothballs), high temperature and high humidity.
Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not
planning to use the camera for a long period of time
Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.
- Do not let sand get inside the camera when using it on beaches,
coastal dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand.
- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the camera
unusable.
Handling the camera
- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
- Protect the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this
camera is not used, keep it in the camera case.
- Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
- This camera is not waterproof.
To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the
camera with wet hands.
- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let
water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or
may permanently damage the unit.
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 built up can also occur on the memory card. If this
happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the
moisture has dispersed.
Caution on Using the Lens
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the
discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.
- Take care not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface
of the lens.
If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can
occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery and the memory card if you do
not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.
If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to
protect the memory card.

Important notes Warning indicator
Camera 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.
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.
Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check the
camera condition.
- Take a picture for testing the camera condition and prepare extra
battery.
