The proper operating temperature of the charger is 0°C ~ 40°C. When you charge the battery under/over the proper operating temperature, the charger may not operate (Yellow LED is on). Charging will restart at the operating temperature and this is not camera malfunction.
Samsung warrants the charger for a period of one year and the Lithium Ion battery for a period of six months from the original date of purchase of the product.
Wear and tear on the lithium battery is not covered by the Samsung warranty. If the battery duration shortens considerably, you should purchase a new battery.
Slide the switch as you please to indicate
something like flash charging status. This switch has yellow and black mark.
INFORMATION
Before using the camera

Be sure to format the memory card (see p.116) 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.
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.
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, first format the memory card by using the 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/ formattting 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 [Card 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.
If you use a low writing speed memory card, the movie clip may be stopped while recording. We recommend a high writing speed memory card (over 40X writing speed).
Instructions on how to use the memory card
Before using the camera
21
When the memory card slot cover opens, the camera can't be turned on by pressing the
