INFORMATION

Before using the camera

ŝ20Ş

ƃ 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.

ƃ Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed. ƃ 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.

ƃ The memory card is an electronic precision device.

Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact.

ƃ Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields,

e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.

ƃ Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature. ƃ Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use. ƃ During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm.

This is perfectly normal.

ƃ 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.

ƃ Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader. ƃ 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.

ƃ Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data. ƃ It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard

disks, CD etc.

ƃ 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.

ƃ 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

ŝ21Ş

ƃ When the memory card slot cover opens, the camera can't be turned on by pressing the

power button.
