Instructions on how to use the memory card
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.96) 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. 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. To use the memory card in this camera, format first the memory card by using this camera. Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.
Maintenance of the memory card
Preserving the memory card data
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 optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory.

TIFF is the highest quality and Normal is the lowest setting. Choose the setting appropriate for your needs.
The TIFF file format is for professionals and provides the best quality. However, large file size reduces number of available pictures to take and increases saving time to the memory card.
[Processing!] message is displayed while saving a TIFF file to the memory card.
The TIFF file format can't be selected in the Auto mode.
Though the TIFF menu displays in the LCD monitor in Continuous, AEB and AFB
shooting mode, but can't be selected.
If you select the TIFF file format, the double self-timer can’t be selected.
The digital zoom can't be used when you select the TIFF file format.
This file format complies with the DCF(Design rule for Camera File system).
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): JPEG is the image compression standard
developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files efficiently without damaging the data.

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.
[ PROGRAM mode ]
Multi
Spot
Metering
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.
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.

Continuous shot
You can select continuous shot, AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) and AFB (Auto Focus Bracketing). If you select CONTINUOUS, AEB or AFB, the flash will automatically be set to Flash Off.
[Single]: Take one picture only
[Continuous]: Images will be taken continuously until the
shutter button is released. The shooting capacity depends on the memory.
If 1 picture is available in the memory, the continuous shot is not available. If less than 2 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB, AFB shooting are not available.
It is best to use a tripod support for the AEB shooting for saving time is long and hand shaking may occur.
Selecting the TIFF file format, you can’t select the Continuous, AEB, AFB shooting mode.
When you select the Continuous shooting mode, the self-timer function will not activate.
INFORMATION
[ PROGRAM mode ]
[AEB]: You can select the exposure bracket range
(±0.3EV step, 6 steps) by rotating the jog dial. Three pictures are taken in a series in different exposure value. Use this menu if it is hard to decide exposure of the object.
[AFB]: You can select the focus bracket range(±1 step,
3 steps) by rotating the jog dial. Three pictures are taken in a series in different focus range. Use this menu if it is hard to decide distance of the object.
