●Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (SAC-81, DC 8.4V) with the correct
specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

DANGER

If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC
Adapter (SAC-81, DC 8.4V) allows the camera to
be used for long periods of time.
Remove the battery from the camera when using
an AC adapter. Plug the adapter into the DC-IN
port on the camera before using an AC adaptor.

AC adapter (SAC-81, DC 8.4V)

●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

《20》

● 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

The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera settings.

■ When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in low lighting conditions, the camera
shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD. In this case, use a tripod, support
the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode.

■ Compensate for shooting into light:
It is advisable not to take pictures into direct sunlight as this can make the foreground very
dark. However, should your desired shot require this please use the [Backlight] from the
scene shooting mode (see page 65), fill-in flash (see page 59), spot metering (see page 43),
or exposure compensation (see page 50).

■ Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

■ Using the Rear LCD extensively will drain the battery.

We recommend turning off the Rear LCD and using the Finder LCD and Top LCD as often as
possible in order to extend battery life.

■ Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected, for example;

- 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).

- When the surroundings are very dark.

■ If the camera is not turned off by the Power button, the changed menu settings may not be
saved.

■ If there is no operation during the specified time, the LCD will be turned off automatically to
save battery life. Refer to the [LCD Off] menu (p.114) for more information.

■ You can select the ISO sensitivity when

taking pictures.
The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a
camera is rated by ISO numbers.

■ ISO

- AUTO ( ) :
The camera’s sensitivity is automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or
subject brightness.

- 50, 100, 200, 400 :
You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is present, by 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 light is and therefore the greater its capacity
to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the
ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.

■ How to set the ISO

1. Press the ISO button and an ISO icon will display on the LCD.

2. Select a desired icon by rotating the Rear jog dial (JOG2).

3. Press the OK button to set the setting.

This is suitable for general use.

- CWA (Centre Weighted Average) metering ( ) :
Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area.
However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area.
This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a flower or insects.

- Spot metering ( ) :
Only the cross marked area in the centre of the LCD will be metered for light.
This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back
lighting.

※ The + mark will be displayed when spot metering has been selected.

■ How to set the metering mode

1. Press the metering button and a metering icon will display on the LCD.
