Things to Watch Out for When Taking Pictures

■ The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and

camera settings.

■ When either the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting

condition, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change to flash shot mode.

■ Shooting against the light :

Please do not take pictures into the sun. Taking a picture against the sun may make the picture dark. To take a picture against the light, please use the [Backlight] in the scene shooting mode (see page 35), fill-in flash (see page 27), spot metering (see page 29), or exposure compensation (see page 33).

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

■ Compose the image by using the LCD monitor.

■

In some of the following conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

- 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 dark.

- SINGLE : Take one picture only

- CONTINUOUS : Images will be taken continuously until the shutter button is released. The shooting capacity depends on the memory.

- M. CAPTURE : This takes 30 shots per second when the shutter button is pressed and held down. After completing the continuous shooting, images are saved and they play back on the Rear LCD. The maximum number of shots is 30 and the image size is fixed as VGA(640X480).

- AEB : Takes three pictures in a series at different exposures: short exposure (-0.5EV), standard exposure (0.0EV) and over exposure (+0.5EV). Use this mode if it is hard to decide exposure of the object.

※Wise shot can be set in the shooting menus of the ASR mode. Refer to p.18

for more information.

※ High resolution and picture quality increases file saving time, which increases

stand-by time.

※ If the [CONTINUOUS], [M. CAPTURE] or [AEB] sub menu is selected, the

■ 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 you want the subject in the centre correctly exposed, regardless of the back lighting.

- CENTER : 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.

※ 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 such circumstances, it is better to use exposure compensation.

However, the image may be saturated in high luminance. The higher the ISO value, the greater is the camera°Øs sensitivity to light; therefore it has a greater capacity for taking pictures in darker conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarser.

■ You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.

The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated in ISO numbers.

Important notes

《59》

■ 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 a protective carrying case 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 (when the charger and USB cable are inserted into the cradle (optional) at the same time), the data transfer may be affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.

■ Always check the condition of the camera before an important event or going on a trip.

- Take a picture to check that the camera is working correctly and ensure you

have a fully charged spare battery.

- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.

Important notes

- This camera is not waterproof. To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

- If you use this camera in wet places, such as on a beach or near a pool, do not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or permanent damage the unit.

■ 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 seems likely, wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed before attempting to use the camera. 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.

- Avoid getting 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.
