[Auto] : The camera's sensitivity is

automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.

[ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200] :

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 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.

When [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto.

Quality / Frame rate

You can select the compression ratio appropriate for your application of the captured images. The higher the compression ratio, the lower the picture quality.

Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

[Multi] ( ) : 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 general use.

[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.

[Center We ighted] ( )

: 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 ﬂ ower or insects.

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.

ACB

This function is to adjust the contrast automatically when taking photos in an environment with big exposure difference i.e. backlight or contrast. This function adjusts the brightness automatically and allows the subject to be photographed clearly.

You can select single, continuous, motion capture, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

[Single] ( ) : Take one picture only. [Continuous] (

) :

Images will be taken continuously until the shutter button is released.

[Motion Capture] ( )

: This takes 5 shots

per second, when the shutter is pressed and held down. After completing the continuous shooting, images are saved and the images play back on the Rear LCD. The maximum number of shots is 30 and the image size is ﬁ xed as VGA.

[AEB] ( ) :

Take three pictures in a series in different exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV), short exposure (-1/2EV) and over exposure (+1/2EV).



High resolution and picture quality increases ﬁ le saving time, which increases stand-by time.



If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture], [AEB] sub menu is selected, the ﬂ ash will be off automatically.



If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting is not available.



It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save each image ﬁ le is longer and blurring caused by camera shake may occur.

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



Important notes



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.



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.

- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.



If the digital camera is not used for a long period, the date and time may adopt the default settings by automatical battery discharged. In

this case, reset the date and time correctly before the recording.
