1. Please note the following precautions for use:
2. Please keep this device in a safe place. The device contains a lens that can be damaged by
shock. Keep away from the reach of the children.
- Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to
malfunction.
- To avoid electric shock, do not touch your device or power cable with wet hands.
- Do not use the flash close to another’s eyes. The flash emits a strong light that may cause
damage similar to direct sunlight on one’s eyesight. Particular care should be observed if
photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than 3 feet from your subject.
- If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung
service facility. Disassembling the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be
difficult to repair.
- Clean the device with a dry, soft cloth. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution
for removing stains. Do not use any type of solvent, especially benzene, as they may seriously
damage the finish.
- Keep your device away from rain and saltwater. After using, clean the device. Saltwater may
cause the parts to corrode.
1. Television programs, movie video tapes, DVD titles, films and other program materials may be
copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of copyrighted materials may infringe on the rights of the
Copyright owners and is contrary to copyright laws.
2. All the trade names and registered trademarks mentioned in this manual or other documentation
provided with your Samsung product are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective
holders.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the CAM.
For Example:
- Entering or leaving a heated place on a cold day might cause condensation inside the product.
- To prevent condensation, place the product in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to a sudden change of temperature.
1. Do not leave the CAM exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked closed car in summer or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the CAM get wet.
Keep the CAM away from rain, salt water, or any other form of moisture.
The CAM will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture.

Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintaining the CAM
1. For the safekeeping of the CAM, follow these steps.
- Turn the CAM off.
- Remove the Battery Pack.
- Remove the Memory Stick.
2. To prevent any damage to the LCD monitor, do not apply excessive force on
its moving parts.
3. Do not drop or in anyway shock the CAM.
4. For prolonged use of the CAM, avoid using it in places subject to excessive
humidity or dust.
5. Do not leave the CAM in places subject to:
- Excessive humidity, steam, soot or dust.
- Excessive shock or vibration.
- Extremely high (over 50°C or 122°F) or extremely low (under 0°C or 32°F) temperatures.
- Strong electromagnetic fields.
- Direct sunlight or in a closed car on a hot day.
6. For the safe use of the battery pack, follow these.
- To conserve battery power, be sure to turn off the CAM power when not in use.
- Battery consumption may vary depending on the condition of use.
Recording with many starts and stops, frequent zooming,
and recording in low temperatures will shorten actual recording times.
- Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Do not dispose of them in fire.
- The battery pack will become warm during charging and use. This is not a malfunction.
- The battery pack has a limited service life.
If the period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a normal charge,
the battery pack is at the end of its service life. Replace it with a new battery pack.
7. For the safe use of the Memory Stick and the Memory Stick Pro, follow these.
- The Memory Stick should be stored away from heaters and other heat sources.
Avoid storing Memory Sticks under direct sunlight and avoid electromagnetic fields.
- Do not power off any devices while transferring data, as this may destroy the data.
- Back up your image data often to a hard disk or other permanent storage media.
- Format the Memory Stick periodically.
- When formatting the Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro, format in the CAM.
If you format it on PC, use the ‘Memory Stick Formatter’ in the supplied software CD.
To Clean the Exterior of the CAM
- To clean the exterior, use a soft dry cloth. Wipe the body gently.
- Do not apply excessive force when cleaning, gently rub the surface.
- The LCD monitor surface should not be pressed. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the surface.
- To clean the lens, use an optional air blower to blow out dirt and other small objects. Do not wipe
the lens with cloth or your fingers. If necessary, use lens cleaning paper.
- Do not use thinner, alcohol or benzene for cleaning. Otherwise, the finish may be damaged.
- Cleaning should be done only after the battery pack has been removed, and other power sources
have been disconnected.
The CAM incorporates a rechargeable lithium cell that maintains the date and
other settings even when the AC adaptor and the battery are removed.
The rechargeable lithium cell is automatically recharged when the CAM is used.
If The CAM is not used at all, the cell runs down in 5 days. In this case,
connect the AC adaptor to the CAM and turn on the power switch.
Then leave it for 24 hours. After that, set the date and other settings again.
