Do not attempt to modify this camera in any way. To do so may result in fire, injury, electric shock or severe damage to you or your camera. Internal inspection, maintenance and repairs should only be carried out by your dealer or Samsung Camera Service centre.
Should any form of liquid or a foreign object enter the camera, do not use it. Switch off the camera, and then disconnect the power source. You must contact your dealer or Samsung Camera Service centre. Do not continue to use the camera as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
Please do not use this product in close proximity to flammable or explosive gases, as this could increase the risk of explosion.
Do not insert or drop metallic or inflammable foreign objects into the camera through access points e.g. the memory card slot and battery chamber. This may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not operate this camera with wet hands. This could pose a risk of electric shock.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Do not use the flash in close proximity to people or animals. Positioning the flash too close to your subject’s eyes may cause eyesight damage.
For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of children or animals to prevent accidents e.g.:
- Swallowing battery or small camera accessories. If an accident should occur, please consult a doctor immediately.
- There is the possibility of injury from the camera’s moving parts.
Battery and camera may become hot during prolonged use and it may result in camera malfunction. Should this be the case, allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool.
Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures, such as a sealed vehicle, direct sunlight or other places of extreme variances in temperature. Exposure to extreme temperatures may adversely affect the camera’s internal components and could cause a fire.

CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in a minor or moderate injury.
Remove the battery when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time. Otherwise the battery may leak corrosive electrolyte and permanently damage the camera’s components.
Leaking, overheating, or damaged battery could result in fire or injury. – Use battery with the correct specification for the camera. – Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of battery in fire. – Do not insert the battery with the polarities reversed.
Be sure to format the memory card if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images captured with a different camera.
Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns.
Credit cards may be demagnetized if left near a camera case. Avoid leaving magnetic strip cards near the case.
Do not move the camera while it is switched on when you are using the AC Charger. After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the cable from the wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or electric shock.
Take care not to touch the lens or lens cover to avoid taking an unclear image and possibly causing camera malfunction.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
Before inserting any cables or AC adapter, check the directions and do not insert by force. It may cause breakage of cable or camera. It is highly likely to result in computer malfunctions when the 20 pin connector is connected to the USB port of a PC. Never connect the 20 pin connector to USB port of a PC.
Do not insert the memory card the wrong way round. Doing so may cause damage to the camera.
Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check the camera condition. Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.
