Do not operate this camera with wet hands. This could pose a risk of electric shock.

Do not use the flash in close proximity to people or animals. Positioning the flash too close to your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage. When taking photographs, never point the lens of the camera directly into very strong light. This may result in permanent damage to your eyesight. For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of children or animals to prevent accidents e.g.:

Swallowing batteries or small camera accessories. If an accident should occur, please consult a doctor immediately.

There is the possibility of injury from the camera’s moving parts. Batteries and camera may become hot during prolonged use and it may result in camera malfunction. Should this be the case, allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool. Do not recharge non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion. Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures, such as a sealed vehicle, direct sunlight or other places of extreme variances in temperature. Exposure to extreme temperatures may adversely affect the camera s internal components and could cause a fire. When in use, do not cover the camera or AC Power Adapter. This may cause heat to build up and distort the camera body or cause a fire. Always use the camera and its accessories in a well-ventilated area.

Warning

Caution

Leaking, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury.

Use batteries with the correct specification for the camera. Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.

Do not insert the batteries with the reverse polarities. Remove the batteries when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time. Batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte and irreparably damage the camera's components. Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns. Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Power Adapter. After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the adapter from the wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or electric shock. A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used but has a short lifespan because of its relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery which has a bigger capacity and longer lifespan than the non rechargeable type. (Rechargeable batteries may not be available everywhere).

Connecting to a Power Source

There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries or alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 5.0V 2.0A). We recommend using batteries for a digital camera (Within a year from the date of manufacture). The batteries are listed below.

Non rechargeable batteries : AA type - Alkaline(High capacity), Ni-Mn(High capacity),

Ni-Zn(High capacity), Lithium

CR-V3 type - Lithium

Rechargeable batteries : AA type - Ni-MH (over 2300mAh), Ni-Cd (over 1100mAh)

CR-V3 type - SBP-1303 Exclusive type- SLB-1437

Using the batteries

Battery status

Battery indicator

The batteries are fully

charged.

Prepare new

batteries.

There is no battery capacity.

Replace with new batteries.

There are 3 indicators for battery condition that are displayed on the LCD monitor.

Removing the battery

1. Turn off the camera power. Open the battery chamber cover and move the battery holder aside. The battery will be released.

2. Take out the battery and close the battery chamber cover.

1. Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert the batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).

3. To close the battery chamber cover, push it until it clicks.

: If the camera does not turn on after you have inserted batteries,

please check whether the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity(+/-).

: Please use the following steps to remove the manufacturer’s

rechargeable battery SLB-1437.

Connecting to a Power Source

If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter (SAC-51, 5.0V) allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 5.0V) on the camera. Remove the batteries from the camera when using an AC adapter.

Using the AC power adapter (SAC-51, 5.0V)

Important information about battery usage

As for the AA type alkaline battery, you can only use the high capacity type. Do not use the normal type alkaline battery. When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power. Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion. Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera. We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power. Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life. Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures. Do not use old and new batteries at the same time. During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal. If the lamps blink once and camera doesn’t turn on by pressing the power button, it means that there is no battery capacity. In this case, change the battery with new one.

Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply. As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials. Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (SAC-51, 5.0V) with the correct specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Instructions on how to use the memory card

Be sure to format the memory card (see p. 82) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognize, 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. Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth. 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 or memory card reader. Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.

Maintenance of the memory card

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 (formatting) 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 : If you press the shutter button for the shot, a [CARD FULL !] message will appear and the camera will not operate. To optimize the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory.

Preserving the memory card data

Instructions on how to use the memory card

If you open the battery chamber cover when the camera power is turned on, the power will turn off automatically.(Except for the exclusive type SLB-1437 battery) Don't remove the memory card when the Auto focus lamp(Green) is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.

Things to Watch Out for When Taking Pictures

Pressing the shutter button down half way. Lightly press the shutter button to confirm focus and flash battery charge. (See page. 29) Press the shutter button all way down to take the picture.

The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera settings. When 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 the flash mode to flash shot mode. Compensated shooting against the light : Please do not take pictures to the sunlight direction.

Taking a picture against the sun may make the picture dark. To take a picture against the sun, please use the [BACKLIGHT] in the scene shooting mode (see page 54), forced flash (see page 35), spot side light (see page 51), or exposure

compensation (see page 40). Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you use the LCD monitor to compose these shots. Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries. We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life. Under certain 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.

Important notes

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 let the unit come into contact with dust, vinyl goods, or chemicals, such as insecticides, for an extended period of time.

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Do not let sand get inside the unit when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand.

- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the unit unusable.

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 build up can also occur in 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 discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

- Pay attention 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 batteries and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.

Important notes

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.
